+1 Skytex Since Incarnate is good with the general idea of the OP.

Skytex modified +1, I'd rather this version over coolant (though the idea of silly foam still makes me giggle :P

I love how the "first" suggestion is from more than a decade ago...and starts by saying 'suggested before!'

Lol, scorched earth policy with mining - I dont think mining is ~that~ much done that such a plan would work these days, but it was a nice chuckle.

Yeah, that was way back when Inc. was making noises about an ore redux coming "soon." Eight years later, no ore redux and nobody needs to mine for cap manufacturing...just buy all the crap at Latos N2.

Considering how old the posts were, I was not even aware they were made before. Also, I made sure to include that the cooling tech and the mining beams cannot be equipped at the same time, and that you cannot mine the same asteroid that is being cooled down.

The idea of using nanite replicators are nice, as there is no current use for them to my knowledge, and when combined with Coolant, we may have a working idea here. Question still remains, how will it be implemented. Assuming it is possible.
