Thing is, you guys slightly re-route the purpose and idea of the thread. It's mostly here to improve the mining system and give a logical idea and purpose to it beyond 1-2 tunnels.

Additionally, I'd hardly see command giving the go for MTs/CE to go in space by themselves and most likely you'd need all 3 MT slot and the CE there to even have 1 going, which at that point literally makes sence since the ship can run with only 2 of them hanging around even during crisis (More than 2 on repair is just an hindrance imo, collision etc).
Small sidenote, EVA requires the CE to open it and you'd be a pretty poor CE to go mining considering you'd be unable to communicate aftward. Best leave that to MTs or assigned miners.

I see the complaints and downsides, but being able to add it adds more options and I'm always in to have a relaxing work implemented; Even more if it benefits the corp.
SIDENOTE #2: Can't build pipes in space, no flooring.


EDIT: Woot, page #2. Sheesh.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

You can build pipes on asteroids, and you can build supports for the pipe to travel along in space.

Also what mining system would it improve on? One doesn't really exist at this point; if you mean the default Baycode mining, I'm not sure what it does differently.

This is most likely not going to be added.

This is unlikely to happen anytime soon. MTs themselves may have different duties in the future, so I am denying this for now. Not out of the question, but something to revisit in a year or so.
