If by today you mean "today" today, then it's obviously not going to happen. I haven't heard anything about it from anyone, apart from some rumors that devs were looking into it
I'm sure there's a way to do it, and I'm sure a lot of people have a lot of good ideas as to how it can be done. And yes, assuming mining isn't shut down completely, it should be done.
Come to think of it though, the fact that we don't have any sort of gas-mining just made me realize something. With the recent mining-shutdown, we've got a bunch of mining factions saying that they "have no purpose" anymore. Well, take a look at the GMG. They're suppose to be mining and creating H-fuel, but they can't really do that in-game. And still, the GMG as a faction seems to be getting on with its life quite well. Of course, it could be pointed out that the GMG is more or less its own governmenr with its own tech and ships and a very different RP-background from most other House-related mining factions... but this isn't what this thread is about.
Gas mining should happen. And I'm sure someone's working on it. Well, I hope.

I just have to point out two things about the GMG and the mining mod.
1/ They never had gas mining to begin with, so they have not something, they were designed without that part of the RP, imagine if they got it.
2/ They are not doing to well at the moment, maybe that is caused by the mining mod.
But I still see a lot of pirates in Sigma systems myself as well as a lot of smuggling.
But I agree the gas mining mod would do them very well, and I hope it is brought out.
How about a specially designed ship that just has to fly trough the gas field for *insert time here* to fill up with a certain commodity.
That doesn't sound too hard?
Sure, it isn't as 'fun' as mining... Oh, well, mining isn't fun either after shooting 10 rocks. But at least there's an element of skill involved.
But still better then nothing, eh?
Maybe some other factions deserve a boost in that kind of manner in 4.86.
BMM, IMG, Kruger and Daunman had their fun in 4.85, now it's time for haulers to move to Sigma-13!
