You can see weapon-compatibility in-game on the ship information page, or there is a full listing on Argonopedia.

Oh, and moved to the main forum where it belongs. ;)

You can put the drill on one of the TL's, but that is too unwieldy. I think the Split TS can mount a drill in the back turret.

You have to get within range of the Center of the asteroid, not the surface. Some big asteroids you have to go into the tunnels to get close enough.

Watch out for spinning ones.

Use one driller ship and 2 or 3 collector ships with Special Command software "Collect wares in sector". And the Ore Collector.

The Paranid TS can mount the mining laser on either the nose or the turret. Just drive straight up to the asteroid and blast away :P

Yes, the Demeter is excellent for mobile mining. Just set a Demeter to mine and a Dolphin/Vulture to pick up the ore...
