Mining Asteroid Belts

[Lord Admiral Hood]

There should be mining ships that can mine asteroid belts similar to recyclers. These ships could be filled with minerals that could be sold when brought back to base. If these full ships are destroyed the debris could be worth more for example 20 credits/h over the usual 10/h. Or they can be raided for some quick cash. Taking over mining belts could be costly for the other player. For example being able to set up mining defences. What do you think? Is this a good idea?

There should be a reset mechanism on it. Some are empty, some are full.
And x amount of time your occupational forces are unocced for the reson of contemination plume in space or something.
Like unrest workst, that way it gives bit of balance for others to get a chance.
