I actually agree with the drone driven mining being rather awesome. Having the task as being an overseer while managing drone paths, repairs and maybe even defense (rockworms wanting to break drones to eat the ores inside? or the syndie drones attacking the station drones).
I'd imagine the increased activity wouldn't be all that great for server optimization purposes though.
Having a remote controlled mining drone would be cool as well, so the miners can sip their coffee from the safety of their station while gathering resources for the station. Untill something goes terribly wrong... *queue dramatic science fiction plot*
I agree though that mining is rather tedious and uninspiring atm, it's no surprise most miners just fuck off into space and die to fermids, shamblers etc.
