Mining yield, different ships
· Yes technically they can mine other ore, just like modulated strip miner II''s can without a crystal, but the yield is around 1/2 of what it would normally yield, and yields less then a strip miner I (strip miner I: 540m3, msmII:360m3 without crystal). Sure you CAN do it, but you can also mine in a carrier with mining drones I and Miner I''s as well.
