Mobile Drilling System . .

How do you use it?

I've got a Mercury (only has a rear turret) and (I've assumed you use/equip like a standard laser type weapon) And it won't let me install it in to the rear turret. Am i doing something wrong?

Oh and yes I have the mineral scanner and ore collector fitted too.

Check the ship's compatible with the laser.

Looking at The Argonopedia tells me the Mercury cannot equip that weapon. You need another ship.

I'd thought that may be the case. Good job I've saved before buying and equipping the ship.



Thanks !!

AFAIK, only the largest asteroids (shown on sector map) do need the Drill anyway. You probably can break smaller rocks even with IRE. I have a plan to try out Discoverer Hauler and Mercury for mobile mining, but have not gotten that far.
