Mobile mining base ship oddness

[Argonaught.]

Wouldn't it make sense to give it the ability to dock TS ships, the name itself implies it's for mining and afaik only some TS types can do that.

Was it an oversight or by intention?

Just curious.

You have a few fighters able to mine, drones too.

Falcon miner, pirate Kea, Falcon Hauler are good mining ships if they have a homebase really close to unload, like a TL.


But yeah if some of those supposed mobile mining big ships could allow a single TS at least to externally dock to allow transferring the cargo ...

Yeah, one external docking slot would be a good idea

Didn't know anything past a ts could load a mining laser...thanks for info.

Alternatively you could simply install a transporter beam into the MMBS or its satellite (homebased) miners/transport ship(s)..

In that regard, Ozias is the best mining base ship. Can dock 12 TS ships !

In fact you do not use mining lasers with fighters, but PACs. Mining drones on the other hand, do use mining lasers yes.

Thanks for the replies folks.

Limits the type of Mobile Base Ship I can use down to the Kyoto (pricey but cheapest option) as that can dock all types.

The best option for the price is Ozias because it can dock only TS/TP but for like 20M credits only instead of 100+Mio

Have the Ozias already, I was hoping one TL could dock all ships types to make it a mobile base.
It was while infoing the TL's I noticed the Mobile Mining Base Ship couldn't dock TS's, even though an M3 can mine, it should still be able to dock TS miners....some modder will fix it I'm sure,,,and if not maybe one will make a better Mobile Base Ship
