Mining in an asteroid field, I notice a Newship is mining a deposit. I take a look onboard, and she's got no crew! This is unfair. I can see how you could leave an unmanned ship scooping gas or whatever, but if she's going to fly around and compete with you for in-game resources, surely she needs a crew to do it - otherwise what is the crew even for?
Flavour affected
Steam

Alpha 8
Is it something that used to work before?
No - ships were rubber-banded before, now they're more fully simulated and viewable
Expected behavior
A ship with no live crew should be dead in the water.
