This core 6 level 25 miner has 8 mining lasers, advanced shield, and standard warp. For production there is a small constructor and advanced constructor that can be upgraded to universal or commercial constructor. For storage there are 2 harvest controllers at 320k and one regular controller with around 300k. Also included are freezer , several cargo boxes, full medical and shower, and includes standard Teleporter for convenience.

This is a mid-game miner that you should be careful with. While testing, in Drone space, I was careless and stayed too long losing my entire vessel and contents due to the hilarious chaining physics provided. Due to this, several things were moved around and hull is now all combat steel.

Don't be a hero!

Upgradeable turrets, mining turrets, and scanners on bottom of ship

Upgrade front thrusters for more thrust when desired.
