Radio telescope to call in asteroids with specific ores.

Alternatively, make it so you can change the recharge rate on the magnet. I brought this up in the SA thread earlier. I proposed capacitors that connected directly to the grid instead of the APCs, and could charge at any rate. These would be used with certain pieces of high-energy equipment on the station- the magnet, the smelter, telescience, the cloner. If the magnet can recharge in a few seconds instead of a few minutes, then you can keep on summoning new meteors until you find the one you want. Of course, the amount of energy needed should be extremely large. This was in regards to a discussion about how the hotwired solars rendered the thermal generator obsolete. These were my solution, to make the generator useful again.
