This new tool fires specially designed projectiles to maximise the amount of fragments extracted from an asteroid, granting a higher yield than other mining tools when laser mining. When laser mining it also has a chance to produce a higher density fragment similar to those found via abrasion point mining. The Type-11 has also been designed to handle the thermal load output of the new mining tool. As such, this large mining tool is currently only able to be equipped on the Type-11 Prospector. Discussion:301th Episode, better than the 300th Community Corner:Lave Radio can suck eggs Wrap Up: http://loosescrewsed.comJoin us on discord!
