SUGGESTION: Make drones immune to hazardous regions!

So you can actually mine in hazardous regions with L-Miners even when you are present in the sector.

The way it works currently - that you have to be OOS so L-Miner drones don't get destroyed by hazardous region - is not ideal and kinda defeats the whole purpose of using L-Miners for hazardous regions.

I never actually checked if drones died in these. It does seem a bit silly, after they bothered to make the damage work OOS—clearly 'go OOS' isn't meant to be a solution. It seems like they put these regions in there as flavour but never added any kind of gameplay around it, just 'oh your stuff dies there sometimes, isn't that entertaining'. If you're going to put in a hazardous region and you're going to put resources in it, there should be some way to harvest those resources that doesn't require getting by on a technicality.

Wait, do they need drones? Can't you put mining lasers on the L miners?
I've never really payed attention to these.

Yes, they need drones. L miners shoot rocks with their mining turret(s), then send out drones to collect the chunks.
