Two questions - scrapping and hellfire rocket cannons

[AeternusDoleo]

Hi I got two questions:

1.) I got a salvager on a Junker ID and a Junker Guard IFF and tried mining Trafalgar for scrap metal today. Did it in several different spots (with a mining laser turret), but it took like forever. I gave up after having mined just 30(!) units - is there no bonus or what (perhaps due to my IFF being Junker Guard) or is it supposed to be this slow?

Junker guard IFF does not get a mining bonus, correct. Switch to the Junker IFF and Junker ID. No guard factions get mining bonuses. Also: Southampton is a solid field (except for the small premium scrap zone). Drops across the field are equal.

2.) Saw some bomber Hellfire Rocket Guns (or cannons - can't remember exactly) at a Rogue station, and they looked like a lot of fun. So who can use them? Is it strict Hellfire-only or can for instance Rogues use them, as they are sold at Rogue bases in Cassini? If not do other factions have something similar?

These are generic bomber weapons not affiliated with the Hellfire Legion at all. Anyone can use them.
