This would engineering more willing to take mining seriously... think all the bohrum does nothing anyway.
Now imagine we can use it for coating... coating each pipe with a device to upgrade them to hold more pressure.
There is some credence to this idea. You can start your round on a low power get your resources to upgrade then go for broke on a hellburn the last half of your shift. You could also ignore it completely and suffer the consequences.
However this also requires mining to
1. Actually do their job. A department notorious for working until they hit a motherload asteroid to supply the station with cash for the round, and then messing about with mat science stuff.
2. Not die, related of course to number 1 but only the humble clown and janitor have higher unnoticed deaths.
3. Sometimes asteroids are just finicky and it takes way too long to bring in a bohrum asteroids because Rngesus hates you today.
4. How much material will be required to plate /replace pipes. And related to that is more importantly how much time will you have to pull it off? You should be able to pull off similar engine performance on both a full classic and RP round. Yes you can get higher numbers on RP because of round length but a classic round should also at least be able to get their hell burn going instead of still be plating pipes which could be an issue.
I really do like the idea though anything to give mining more to do other than gold,starstone, and explosive ore hunting is probably a good thing.
