Hi, New here, I've build a few mining Ships and they work just fine, when I'm on the sector, the second I leave they take vacations and I still have to pay the Lazy bast---, is there a way they keep working after I leave the Place or will be? if there is not yet for balance they could be destroy by pirates if you dont leave behind a ship to defend them. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say.
