The new boost to drilling feel a bit too OP for me, either that or the progression isn't right I just got the drill and i can just drop off on a mine and completely mine it in a very short moment, which makes me feel "what's the point of HV drilling ?" ... the HV drill is further down the tech chain, and it just feel not very useful compared to travelling to a mine on an SV and just manually mining it ....
If you had Mass and Volume enabled, you wouldn't be able to mine an entire ore deposit. You'd need an HV to carry and transport that ore.
One day you'll know whats the difference between mining "by hand" a very large Deposit or by using an HV to do the "dirty work" for you
