Joking aside, the Gallente Mining Laser I is pretty boring for something that is somewhat rare and marked as "Storyline".

The only difference is has from Miner I is that it uses 1 less CPU to fit.

So, why not make it a little bit more "pimp" by making it so that just this mining laser shoots a green beam instead of a blue one? Just something that would make the already tedious task of mining a little bit more spicy, if the miner values spiciness over mining amount.

Thoughts? How difficult would this idea be to implement into the game?

You and me, baby, ain't nothing but capsuleers, so let's do it like they do on the Science Fiction Channel.

They are prevalent and common... so they don't deserve any major boosts....

Improving them to be inline with meta2 or 3 lasers isn't out of line, but any more is not befitting their rarity..

I was not really talking about boosting them. Just making them stand out for being what they are; a strange little miner gimmick by CCP.
