The relatively new T2 mining laser is all well and good, but by the time you've gotten a CV, a couple SVs, and a base set up in space, it gets real tedious to manually mine. My suggestion:
Laser Drill (SV) attaches and is used like a weapon. Points forward, used in the SV hotbar.
Requires it's own special ammo/cartridge type.
Mines several times faster than a manual mining drill. The more there are attached, the faster it mines.
Stores all mined materials in SV cargo boxes automatically.
