First thing is I'm not real modder. I have successfully edited a few mods but my understanding of how is very limited. The folks that make these mods are doing the heavy lifting.
The first question is How do I turn this: (from ship_arg_s_trans_container_02.xml)

What I want is the Callisto to be able to mount a mining laser for more early game money via crystal mining. With crystals being rarer, my thought was, while looking for crystals, (which I'll shoot off with a pulse laser) I could also pulverize the rocks looking for spacefly eggs, lodestones, and unstable crystals. This can be done with the Theseus but the Callisto is much more readily available and cheaper.
Second question is will changing that connection tag by adding the word mining to the list make the mining laser mountable in one of the small weapon slots?
Thanks in advance for reading and any help.
