I have noticed a few times that my mining drones stop mining, and return to orbiting my ship. The reason this goes unnoticed is there is no really easy way to see what the drones are doing, and their size prevents seeing much more than the green dot. My recommendation is to have actual mining lasers coming out of the drones when they are mining. This could make for some pretty impressive scenes, as 8 or more drones are circling an asteroid, blasting it to metallic vapors! Just a thought, and I don't think it would be THAT hard to add, would it?

If you are using 15drones on a dominix it might slow people who have slower computers/graphics cards.
I roleplay... there is this computer game called "Earth - The First Genesis" where i play a character in the early 21st century. |

I don't think 15 objects would be much of a difference when you're already in an asteroid field of who know how many rocks.

Im not sure how it works, but it needs to be such that you only see the actual drone graphic if your camera is centered on it. Would reduce quite a bit of lag, Id say, while still letting those who wanna watch a drone do so.
