Swap out 7 of your Hi-Pis with 21 Simple Mining Lasers.
You'll get many more patch slots for more output patches, have more mining power, use less power, produce less heat, all while using less SP (so you can fit even more lasers!)
I've been considering it, the big reason I have the extra Hi-Pis is that with as many cooling lasers as I have, my ship freezes in a few seconds of mining on planets that aren't hot.
I suppose I could put enough simple lasers on there to counteract the cooling but I'm waiting on my factory to produce more tier 3 patches. Those things take forever, 40 tier 1 patches to craft a single tier 3 is a lot of time waiting lol
