What Officer Rating Applies to Fuel Harvesters

[Paul M (OP)]

I had assumed that it was "Factory" but the game auto assigned an officer to a Fuel Harvester and it showed "Mining 0%" with the assignment.  So is mining the rating the ups their production?  Looks like a major re-shuffle will occur if this is the case.

thanks...another case where assumption strikes.  Do you know what the factory rating is used for then?

Jumpgate construction ships (of this I am sure) and maybe also salvage operations (just a guess)

Thank you.  Well this results in a re-organization after the computer re-organizes my officers in a few weeks.  Jump gates a bit in the future...
