Passive Mining Chamber

[Amadeus]

This is pretty simple, add a planet chamber (or one for stations within a nebula/close enough to a planet) that allows for passive resource generation. This could be done with logic activated salvage beams or with a new set of "drilling" blocks. It would make planets valuable and something to actually fight over. Outposts would serve a legitimate purpose.

Hopefully with the planet update they will become less performance hogging.
Then suggestions such as this would be fantastic :3 It would be great to give them some functionality.
Maybe unique systems can be constructed on planets which provide passive bonuses in the sector/nearby sectors including increased jump range, shield re-gen, scanning etc.
I would rather they be actual systems you construct (like a reactor) rather than just a chamber so they can be scaled up and arent as easy as just assigning some points.

One of the options mentioned in the dev video was a station chamber option to increase the mining bonus....They have other options as well. Maybe a capsule or raw refining bonus.
