I have seen numerous suggestions on how to make a functional drill for the HV. The consensus seems to be that it is difficult to control the HV, therefore a mounted drill would be difficult to control by default. I suggest taking the code for the T2 drill, and combining it with the turret code to make a mining laser turret for the HV. Automatic collection is already coded. I think that a range increase to 50m is reasonable for a vehicle mounted beam. It should have fairly stiff power...
