mining ships and gas mining ships spend significant amount of time sitting still, while performing their mining operations. During that time they are just pointlessly burning fuel (and they waste more time flying to get more fuel instead of mining more materials). I think their auto designs should include 1 collector.

Also, ships with collectors all include exactly 1 collector at the moment. It should probably "enough collectors to cover static energy consumption" On big ships with lots of stuff, and low level energy collector tech, it can require more than 1 collector. For example, I think construction ships typically need more than 1 collector at low collector tech.

Basicly i agree. And i suggest to give them more engines too, because they spend alot time to reach their target sublight/chaseing a planet. So many engines that sprint energy cose should be same amount then Hyperspace energy cost.

But some other designer can argue, that all increase the maint. cost and isn't worth the trouble.

But thats a thing for Wishlist thread not for Tech support.

well. It is an AI issue. I can design my own ships properly. The AI cannot, the AI is dependent on what it is programmed to make. The AI not having this makes it weaker and less effective.

It belongs all to your proper handling of the ship designer. Your private companies will use your improved designs very soon. I suggest that you give the mining ships even some armor and a beam weapon with a targetting system and later on a repair bot component.
And do not forget some additional fuel cells plus an energy collector.

greetings
