If the stations that are joined to roids have thier asteroids get too hot from mining, the station closes up shop till the roid cools off and its safe again.

Holy crap it's tramshed.

Convert the heat into energy to operate the station!

that would be pretty damn cool.

Don't you mean hot?

So long as a strike force launches when the roid hits 150K I'm cool with this :-)

+1 JJDane. Why wait it get so hot that it treatens station?

Send SF hogs to heat up that incovenient miner's stern and send him back to mining school the hard way. After a polite hail, of course...
