New Prospecting Mission Type

Prospecting for Minerals
We need you to look for resources.

Greetings, Pilot! We need you to find us n* deposits of x** ore. Please take this scanner to search for the ore. You will need an empty small port to use it, though. As you locate each deposit, mine one crate's worth of x ore from it -- we only require this to determine the purity of the x ore in each of the asteroid you found the deposit in.

Adds another aspect to prospecting missions. Presumably, the cargo mined from each roid would be given a hidden ID that matched the asteroid that it came from; this would prevent a player from scanning thirty asteroids and mining one. Until the player returned 30 ore crates each with different IDs, the mission would continue.

* (Highest number of cu out of all currently available ships) - 5
** Any ore that is available in a normal Prospecting mission.
