The 2019 4th quarter content patch for Star Citizen introduced our first multicrew profession ship, the Argo Mole. Mining, the first of the industrial player professions to be implemented, has been a hit. It's chunky, orange, looks industrial and is fabulous.
The entertainment factor caught me entirely by surprise. Mining was on my 'NO' list based on my experiences mining in other games. After trying it, the tier zero version, when it released in 2018, changed my mind. I don't spend a lot of time game, but when I'm in Star Citizen, mining is what I do the most since I can casually explore/meander while earning money.
We've had multicrew combat ships for a few years. The fun and effectiveness of multicrew combat have been up and down due to turret implementation. In this case, however, they nailed it out of the gate. Coordinated and cooperative mining that requires attention and interactive participation is exceptionally well done. At any given time, you can see someone streaming multicrew mining aboard the Mole.
Here's my review of the Argo Mole if you'd like to know more.
