Edit Reason: WRONG WORDING! CE never goes to mining unless absolutely they have to. Mostly they do Engineering/Mechanics/Repairs then Cargo then mining

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.
Well Mining also can get plasma stone and char for the engines, but most of it is ignored.. by simply adding platings to the pipes and the right metals (for example bohrum for heat, but something else for cold) you can get better pipes and give bohrum more use.. There are alot of Asteriods you can get that serve next to no purpose... give them a new purpose by doing things like that.
Sure mining doing their job is bad.. but the CE barely does anything with Mining.. this gives the CE a reason to go mining and say: I WANT TO HAVE MY EPIC HELLBURN!
