I'm trying to get a group of miners together for some coop mining as i've discovered a couple of things about it that make it worthwhile:
1: you can mine from each others prospector limpets so if one person finds a good roid the rest can take it in turns to mine it when they are finished without even using a drone up
2: each person who mines an asteroid gets 100% of the yeild. regardless of the amount showing to other people
3: a ship doesn't need a refinery to help out, just having a prospector is enough to be of use as while others are mining you can be off hunting the next high value roid
4: you can collect chunks that other people have mined, you find a good rock, 55% Platinum and mine it out. your prospector buddy come over while you still have collectors out and fires his laser at it to mine another 100%, but you collect it for double the yield.
Provided everyone has collector drones it makes resupply a lot easier as well, if one of the large mining ship is running out of drones but still has plenty of cargo space, one of the smaller ships can go back to the station and get some! as long as the ship needing limpets has one collector either active or ready to be activated when the supply ship returns transferring them over is just a matter of dropping them a few at a time and waiting until they are collected.
