ASTEROIDS-Some Cool Things

[KASASpace]

WARNING: I DO NOT want this to be an argument war over what I am about to say. I am in no way demanding this, but merely pitching the idea, and if someone wants to catch it (I'm looking at you guys, devs:)) then please do so.

I have a way to implement resources with asteroids.

*prepare for war*

Wait, here me out.

I suggest a simple and fun way to gather resources using what everyone loves to do, CRASH.

Okay, so you put a drill on the front of your ship, and then put a collector and container.

You then go out to a Type A or B asteroid and charge up the drill. You then crash directly into the asteroid.

This could make a cloud of dust, which can be collected and stored with the collector.

You then go to say, a space station with a 2.5m sorting part. This will sort out what you collected, but draws power.

It also puts the stuff in specific tanks for that item.

Then you have stuff you can use as fuel, raw materials (when remote launch sites come in), life support, food, etc.

Remember, no wars, please.

No matter how it's presented, resources are resources. For now Squad said this isn't happening, and I'm pretty sure they reviewed their options very carefully before ditching a concept like this that was highly cherished by the community.

Unfortunately this is still on the WNTS list, so I'll go ahead and close this thread before something bad happens.
