Hmm, okay. I just haven't noticed such ship profiles before. It seems like they were called like a mini-spider on asteroids that fall on planets or how they simply put lasers in a row, and on the sides there are some decorations on their protruding wings, which, I don’t know, were also supposed to somehow grab onto it and, perhaps point all the lasers inward. Maybe I’ll try out this ship in a creative way and if I can scrape together resources for it, see it in action on the server.

If you have item limits off... the game will fire up to max of 21 hard-points at once... due to the smaller radius in Vanilla laser mining, this many is required to vacuum up an asteroid's full width... for RE you should easily be able to remove half the drills and still achieve a similar effect

Why 21? Only 10 allowed
