Drone - controlled via VR

[Crumplehat]

What I'd actually like to see is for an option to run mining by way of VR from the main station. This way the miners could get up and mess around on the main station now and then between bouts of drilling rocks. They should still have the option to go to the station and slap on an exosuit and charges to mine manually if they like (or to bring back said goodies to use on a traitorous rampage). I just feel that mining is a bit too lonely and often too dull when you are off on another station entirely.

But that's my favorite part of mining. Mining is the one job where you can escape the bloodthirsty lunatics on the station and go fight sensible creatures like fermids and drones. Besides, mining pods hold up to four people. If miners cared about not being lonely they could just work together, but half the people who work mining sure as hell ain't doing it to be social.
