A commander on the Elite Dangerous Reddit has highlighted a frustrating limitation in the current mining rig restock process. When mining rigs are lost due to disconnects, players cannot buy replacements directly from the restock screen. Instead, they must unequip and sell the Rhino vehicle, then re-equip it to restock rigs, which also resets vehicle livery settings. This workaround is cumbersome and disrupts gameplay flow. The community suggests Frontier Developments should allow direct rig purchases like other consumables, streamlining mining and reducing downtime.
- Current process requires unequipping and selling Rhino vehicle to restock rigs.
- Direct purchase option would align rigs with ammo and limpets restocking.
