GAAAHHHH!!! How do I use the Mobile Drilling System!

I loaded this onto my ship and I've flown up to and targeted and ID difffrent sized sateroids but I can't figure out how to engage the drilling system.

Please help.

1. Aim at asteroid.

2. Fire gun.

You have to actually be in the turret the mining laser is mounted on in order to do that.

Further help. The gun is practically point-blank range, so don't be shy. Just keep firing. It will take 20+ shots to destroy the asteroid. It will explode into several fragments. Pick up these fragments like normal cargo; open your cargo bay, run over the rock.

Moved to Spoiler forum. There's some chaps on the main board without the game who don't even know about a mobile mining system, let alone how to use one.... :wink:
