Mining Station

Description
Just an idea I had for a station that focuses on mining. Costing a huge 2.3M to build and crew, the idea is that a smaller player ship would push an asteroid into the middle, and this ship can wreck it.

36 central aimed, constant firing mining lasers ...

This player 'ship' can't hyperjump, because I forgot to install Hyperdrives, so that's a task for you as a player to put in :)

It's also not very mobile, at all ... and pretty much lacking in any offensive armament ...

And I can't figure out how to make it spawn as an "actual" station, so presented here as just a cool ship design.

~~ Confirmed working post MELTDOWN update 0.30 ~~

However as a ship design made before the update it might spontaneously combust if anything is overclocked and likely doesn't have enough Fire Extinguishers to cope with the newer Heat Mechanics

~ Enjoy !! and please buy me a Cuppa Tea[www.buymeacoffee.com]

You can have a look at my mod Mineable Dwarf Planets - Pirate Add-on. It spawns one station and a bunch of defensive platforms (around a dwarf planet, but you could spawn it around anything I reckon), but it should be possible to spawn these as neutrals instead of as hostiles.
I think it would be easiest for you to have a look at that code.

Yeah as noted in the description I had issues making this a "real" station.. also with getting it to auto-fire-target asteroids.... hence it needs to be a "player owned" thing right now

@SirCampalot
I'd still be interested to learn how to make it a neutral station + defensive platforms though... feel free to DM me on the discord :)

Iirc there were issues with spawning a station AND having it behave like a proper trading station that receives resupplies. But you should be able to spawn the station in as a neutral station as is. Can even add some defensive platforms and such to give it some way of defending itself.
