I have a technical se4 question for the expert.

Fyron, is it possible a Black Hole can be remote mined?
If so this may open some doors, in mods.
If not, well it did not hurt to ask.

The only things that can be remote mined are planets and asteroids. So, you would have to create an invisible asteroid belt and place it in the BH, as Oleg said. However, I am pretty sure that the ship will be moved before it can get any resources from mining every turn, so it will not work. Unless you create a black hole that has no movement ability, but where is the fun in that?

Thanks Fyron.

Or, you could build a monster base that has enough armor and repair to survive the hole, and mine it thusly.

Does Organic armor repair automatically outside of combat in the latest patches? If so, you won't need repair bays, and can add more miners in the free space.

I think it is just after combat that it repairs automatically.

I'd say 50% of their current number would be good for asteroid only systems.

Of course, you have to have a monster SYS that could survive in the center long enough to build that base... keep in mind we do not have Battlemoons available in stock SE4 SJ. Or you could start it at the edge and hope it gets built before the SYS reaches the center!

Actually the only thing I don't like is not your fault at all, Fyron. It's the indicators that tell you if you have a special facility on the planet. If that facility is on a moon, it doesn't show up. This is annoying enough in a stock game, but in FQM the feature is almost useless.

Pretty please, Aaron, could you fix this?

[Fyron]

Make sure to email that in to se4 at malfador dot com! Otherwise Aaron is unlikely to see it.

i sent off my first email to there, for my suggestion for increasing the maximum amount variables can hold *65535 facility sphereworlds, anyone? ) and easing value changing for resource conVersion/trading and cargo moving by clicking on a value like the '2' in 255 and having it go up/down to 355 or 155.
