Minor mining mechanic manipulations

[Captain_Bravo]

What if you simply have to target an SMES with the laser to start beaming power to it? The computer can be used to scan and pick SMES to start powering, there's a special location already on the computer called "CENTCOM" that gives you money when you beam power to it, and when emagged the console allows you to manually direct the beam and fry random people with it.

Plus, you could stick it in the "Power Room" and make it the domain of Mechanics. Give them more to do, since the Engineers got more stuff to occupy their time.
