what about having a capital ship for mining. have some defensive turrets on it so it isnt totally helpless. 2-3 plasma turrets or something, reasonably high health.

We already have OreMasters... Having a capital class mining ship would be inefficient as the travel speed would have to be slowed down to a large degree. It may have more health and have turrets but you can achieve the same effect by having your mothership protect the OreMaster.

Yea it's nice having OreMasters but they can still sometimes be targets even when surrounded by support ships or capital ships when they start turning and out manuevering the larger ships. I don't think it would be feasible for another large ship though.

yea even then the oremaster has a tighter turning radius then anything in the game. But I do use 6 centaurs to guard the harvester lol.

Only 4 is needed even with the tight turns the guard ships should take the damage.

Hello, yeah it can be a real pain to guard the OreMaster, but I think it's part of playing a strategy game: You get big powerful ships, but you also have to take good care of the little ones that feed your fleet. A capital harvester would be possible, but the problem is that you only have four capital ship slots. So unless it also has considerable firepower, not many players are likely to purchase a ship like this. Maybe I'll add a few more ship slots in the future and then we'll see.

Yes! A couple more ship slots, whether its 1 capital ship or a couple more support ship slots would be cool.

There's a button on the top of the screen that let's you launch a mining drone. After you've launched the drone, tap and hold on an resource (golden asteroid) then select the icon that looks like the mining drone to mine. Each mining run gives you 1k.

Have a hydra that launches up to 8 harvesters instead of fighters. But put a few turrets on it, like 6 plasma turrets.
