Mining/prospecting content idea

A series of missions that starts in arena lobby and goes through out the leveling experience.

Idea is to do a bunch of mining and or prospecting activites that first rewards you with a ship that looks like an asteroid. As you do more of these missions the asteroid gets slightly bigger and gets more of those crystals that the end boss of colored empires. The ship would be designed to sort of suck at combat but have inbuilt bonuses to mining power and efficiency also some other inbuilt items.

A mining laser that jumps to asteroids(like urquan uppercut but only on asteroids) An ibuilt galaxy wide prospecting scanner that is faster recharging then the existing ones An inbuilt solar body scanner that is better then the existing ones An inbuilt prospecting tractor beam that is better then the existing ones.
