Even if it does, I'll show you, that a mafic is way faster.
But I'm not absolutly sure about if it does or doesn't. Sometimes, it feels like it does give you a bigger bonus, and sometimes it feels even slower.
Yea, hes right (of course hes right, didnt he setup the mining mod? XD)
Ship class, number of lasers, etc doesnt effect the drop count. You jsut get x time y ore, whereas x is the base and y is the multiplyer if 4 conditions are met.
Thsoe conditions are
Ship
Weapon
ID
IFF
Since y is a predetermined number, it does change because you have 1 or 8 mining lasers, or are in a spatial or a hegemon. Its all about having the variables for y filled so you get that bonus.
*is done making things complicated*
oh and dusty, sorry if I misinterpreted the mining mod ^^;
