I don't know the specifics of an underpowered ship, but everything appeared a little too effective for receiving only a percent or so of the required power. How many solars do you have ? I have been trying to wing it, if its a lot I might change my plan and create a station for this purpose Cause one game, i was out pirating when the refinery failed (sensing a trend here?) and the beacon was gone. Similarly, i use it to power a beacon so i never lose my way. luckily it has solar panels so i just needed to dump some Ore into the refinery to start everything up again. I discovered my refinery ran out of fuel. I would guess some kind of battery would have to be included to make them more effective, charging in the sun for a while then using the charge for a short period of activity. They couldn't just go mine willy-nilly they'd have to be very cautious about it and rely mostly on pirating cargo ships passing too close.
Or possibly 2 or more players against each other, making their bases far apart to prevent quick attacks. Maybe if someone wanted to "roleplay" and make a base really far away from the asteroids that could be some sort of use. But I have no idea when that strategy could be used.
It's also nice if somehow you lose power in all your reactors, you can just aim one of them at the sun to get enough energy to hand-mine again. Don't even think about powering engines with them :) Solar power works only if the panels are in very large quantities, other than that yes its decoration.

I know other ships ARE armed, but a completely resistance-free ship is just too easy. I was already working on a boarding ship equipped with thick armor and powerful engines to give chase, but now that seems overkill. what baffles me is that even the smallest ship is still a "big" ship meaning that i can get a TON of resources for free, with little effort. After looking up what kind of ship actually meant what, i went and took over a Private Sail. (or cut off a major part).ĮDIT: ok i tried to pirate a ship. Too often have i had to rebuild chunks of my ship because i cut it in half by accident. I must say that the repair aspect is most appealing to me. Not sure if that would be worthwhile though as at that point you may as well just hover above and spew into the collector without merging :)
If I'm understanding the merge block from the video though, should be possible to setup one of these things so that the merged ship winds up hooked up to an ejector on the other one which then spews stuff into a collector on the same ship.
