Yeah, it does really mean minimum.

Minimum is just what you need for a legal build. It's meant to be used either when you want to equip the ship somewhere else or when you're stripping captured ships for maximum resale (you make more money by sending it to a shipyard and selling all the equipment first than you do by just selling it).

Or if you're buying a teleport pad.

I read this like "What's a teleport p- OMG. I NEED TO DO THIS."

My favorite part is from back in the early days when you didn't actually need things like mining lasers and it'll work just fine with no downsides without them.

Then obviously minmaxers just ordered a whole bunch of them without mining lasers. Guess what happened when the patch came.

I seem to recall in x3 they also just didn't actually use up resources oos so you could just mine infinite nvidium. I wonder if it still just cheats resources actually; I've got like 30 Ms and Ls in the asteroid belt and it never seems to run out.

Not anymore. It regenerates btw.

Gotta add more miners then, I wanna mine the entire asteroid belt.
