And *that*, O my brothers, is the point -- what bogs the game
down is having to do a lot of math *mid-game*. Take care of the
math beforehand, and one minimalizes the in-game bottlenecks.

This sounds like a "Vulcan" OGRE, reprogrammed for mining ops.
(See _GURPS OGRE_ for details -- its essentially an OGRE with
arms, and a load of drones of various sizes.) And if an OGRE has
seen _The Terminator_, and puts together a T-100 with a battlesuit,
watch the *&^%$#@! out.... :)
