New Ship Type: Miners

[Tyrannus]

After playing on another online space game (and still am) that some of you here are probably familiar of, this gave me an idea of a new ship type - a Mining ship, but this version won't be like the others suggested. Mining ships are armless, and have no blasters, but have very good armour, even more than a tanks armour. They are quite big in size, a bit bigger than a tank, to show that they can hold a lot of Cryonite. They can deploy Fighter Drones to defend them from attackers, like Mantis. If you are In PM, the Drones will attack any nearby People in PM, but the bad thing about combat in a mining ship, is that if you deploy your drones, and they get destroyed by mantis or by an other player, it would leave the mining ship defenceless, unless you have other players protecting you while you are mining.

Items

1.) -Mining Harvester-
This item is ALWAYS used by Mantis Harvesters to scan and collect Cryonite. After the humans stole the harvester blueprint, they replicated it and created more and more of them for miners. They can also be upgraded to collect more Cryonite, although the number of Cryonite you collect depends on the area that you are at, example: If at an area where Mantis Repogrubs are, the Cryonite that you collect in the area is low, and if you are at an area where Mantis Harvesters are, the Cryonite that you collect in that area is high. The amount of Cryonite you find will increase as you upgrade the Harvester.

5.)-Harvesting Probe-
The Harvesting Probe is like a small, ''building'', that is planted on the ground to scan and collect and send the collected Cryonite directly to the one who planted the Probe. Probes can be upgraded the same way as the Mining Harvester to collect more Cryonite.

6.) -Fighter Drones-
Fighter Drones are drones that can be launched from a miner ship to protect it from harm. You can only have 1 in Vega, 2 in Antares, 3 in Gemini, 4 in Mizar, 5 in Sol and 6 in Draconis, Although For the systems higher than Vega, you'll need to Upgrade your drones, like when you upgrade the Mining Harvester. When those drones are face to face with a player, they are quite easy to destroy but can deal quite a lot of damage when together.

Vega System
Ion Fighter Drone

Antares System
Ion Protecting Fighter Drones

Gemini System
Fusion Defending Fighter Drones

Mizar System
Fusion Demolishing Fighter Drones

Sol System
AM Obliterating Fighter Drones

Draconis System
ZP Devouring Fighter Drones
___________________________________________________________________________________________
7.)-Mining Drones-
Mining Drones, like Mantis Harvesters, are also equipped with Mining Harvesters. They also help you scan and collect Cryonite. They cannot be attacked by Mantis due to the Mining Drones having technology that makes them invisible to mantis and their scanners. Vega miners can have 1 Mining Drones, Antares miners can have 2, and so on. Can be upgraded, like the Mining Harvester, to collect more Cryonite

Antares System

8.) Working On It (Ideas would be great thanks).
___________________________________________________________________________________________


Although I still won't be playing on this game, this idea just went into my head. This post still isn't finished according to myself. I posted this because I think it will making grinding a bit more easier than now, since grinding now is as hard as hell. Hope you all like it, and if you don't like it, I won't argue with you

EDIT: I might add the blasters to it..

 

[pbhuh]

Cool Idea.

 

[ridoi]

I think it should have a blaster and something like a bomb so it may grind but still it would not be good at pvp...
