Dial it down, Lecter.

Hey, you want to graft a fourth port onto the hull rather than just making the current S port into an L port, be my guest ;)

<I've also talked to a number of people, over the years, who really love mining, and find it "relaxing". >

i know also people who finds relaxing to get pins stuck under their nails...

Bleed well : )

Oh , the mk 2 mining moth ? I have half a dozen in use. Excellent ship. They even have comfy seats with good lumbar support and a decently equipped galley.

Many thanks Inc.

A million creds for the first screenshot of CHN tri-swarming with one..........

Thank you for the new ship! (Sorry Ecka, I didn't take a screenshot of the critical hive skirmish I soloed with a tri-swarm loadout.)

I am still running mining tests on 3 HD beams vs a 2HD+2HE rag, but initial impressions still favor the rag for heat control which can keep 2 HD's pulling faster longer. The 3 HD setup fills a 160 load nicely, but leaves the rock hotter. Shna & Chana's suggestion for 2 sm + 2 lg ports is valid, but could be addressed by a large port HE beam that acted as 2 small-port ones (or better? make it a crafting mission!) Personally, I like the options 2 small ports offer for specialty gear, but I'm not looking a gift-ship in the intake scoop.
