What are pwm coordinates?

The co-ordinate system is “pwm”, or planet-witchpoint-something, where I think “something” is the cross product of the p and w vectors.

What I'd love to see is the Ore Processor to be taken out of ships and put into Rock Hermits as it makes more sense there. They have a bigger volume to sort out materials and a much higher energy budget to process "tricky" ores to get the tiny gemstones out.

Whether the player should get near-instant results or have a delay before the mineral shards are processed at the Rock Hermit is a balance issue.

Have you tried out Phkb's Hermitage?

No, but it's on my to-do list...currently my own Oolite projects are killing a lot of time. :P

One of my projects was the result of a simple discovery that Galactic Misjumps are possible in a way that the OXP of a similar name doesn't do.

...Since currently, I'm almost completely unaware of anyone mining asteroids in interstellar space. Thargoids seem to always be there but not asteroids or even boulders.
