As somebody who plays shaft miner i can confidently say that the current system of mining is almost perfect. However the one issue i have found is that bananium is extremely rare only being present on one asteroid map. as a result of this it is practically impossible for a miner to get enough bananium for any item. As a result of this the only real way to get bananium is via xenobiology, and this is very rarely done making a round with anything using bananium exceptionally rare.
i am proposing the addition of a small amounts of bananium to exotic composition asteroids to allow for bananium to be present in more rounds. i am also proposing that bananium be used for construction and or upgrades of ship and or fighter weapons due to the frictionless properties of bananium.
yours sincerely
