Mobile mining scripting

[Stilltoe]

Given the griping going on in the general forum - is it possible to write a script to enable mobile mining - as egosoft haven't enabled it in the game???

The only way to do so would to somewhat "fake" the collection of ore into freighter. Perhaps create a script that runs on the mining ship, use an asteroid as the argument, and then do some loopy stuff to make it look like the freighter is doing something, and then slowly fill the cargo bay with the respective mineral based on the yield of the asteroid.

However, it might just be easier for the mobile mining crowd to justify the use of LV's cheat scripts to place the mineral in the freighter's cargo bay in proportion to the yield of the asteroid. The same effect is achieved and it is less work.
