Hang out with the sensor cluster and when he least expects it ask him to join the LCS assimilate him.

You can use rock for the body of a smelter, yes. Use the mining laser with a wide aperture width, or the nuclear reactor. Or re-purpose the shield to contain molten iron. Once we get that up and running, there's a lot we can do.

^ this is how I wanted it posted, rather than "BUILD SMELTER NOW DO IT" Give me a method, and I am totally for it.

Update coming soon.

It's six times bigger than us- does it have any thrusters? With what we have, assimilating it might become a problem if we can't detach when we need to move fast.

Can we mine it for ore?

Try to establish communication.

Look for the largest asteroid in the area and land on it, an pocket all the scrap metal we can.

Woah, if we have "Borg-ish" tech we can just modify ourselves into anything we want as long as we have the materials...

Or, can we just assimilate?

either or, go to all of the 'Unknowns' and assimilate them if they too are un-operated. after pocketing that delicious steel of course...


Edit: oh, and this

We don't have enough cargo room for all that steel. We should just push it into an asteroid that we can use as a stockpile.

Then, go to find out about other unknown.

How solid is the steel?  Is it in a few big chunks, or is it a lot of loose material?

So my crundles are staying intact unless they're newly spawned... until they are exposed to anything that isn't at room temperature.  This mostly seems to mean blood, specifically, their own.  Then they go poof very quickly.
