Why is there a second floor on the dilithium mine?

I just noticed that there is an elevator on the fleet dilithium mine that takes you to the second story. I was not able to find anything on the second floor that did anything. Does anyone know why it has a second story?

    Cosmetic maybe? Its been a while since I visited the Fleet Mine myself so... I don't remember if anything gets added to it if you max out the mine.

    I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

    As far as I can tell, there is nothing up there. No NPC's or consoles of any kind. Our mine is maxed out.

    Probably cosmetic then.

    Because Peter Richmond, the environment artist who originally built the mine, thought it would be cool to have an upstairs.

    It is like an unfinished attic. They should add some NPC's, missions, or consoles up there so there is a reason to visit.

    The first rule of the Dilithium Mine 2nd Floor Club is you don't talk about the Dilithium Mine 2nd Floor.

    Edrogen...very funny. :)

    I can say this: It was fun, and something we looked forward to while we were "building"....we knew there would be a second floor and we were looking forward to it. We were ecstatic getting the second floor opened up. We ran around up there for a while, trying to see what we could see outside. It was a little celebration.

    Every promo ship ever released is hidden up there. You just have to search for them.

    Well it certainly has a nice view. Could you pass my compliments to him? The Fleet Mine looks totally awesome and I sometimes have Command and Conquer music going through my head because of the sheer size of some of those crystals. Can he redo the public mine to have similar crystal formations?

    A somewhat popular pastime of mine before my fleet got access to the 2nd floor was to climb up the external scenery to get a good look at the second floor. There is a crystal ledge near the mine entrance that you could climb onto that gives a decent view of the second floor provided that the Windows project is unlocked.
