Vulture Prospector

A Vulture Prospector in the fleet menu

The High-stress Refit (Mono) modkit from Conlido RVM is an ingenious stretch of the imagination requiring a skilled shipwright to implement; this build reroutes the feeds and power for the two low-stress undermounts, and runs them through the substructure around the cargo bay, along with customized consumable feeds. While the combined feeds are adapted to operate any single central high-stress mounting, the support structure pierces the habitat making operating the ship uncomfortable. -In-Game Description

The Vulture Prospector is the only prospector to come with a high-stress hardpoint, combined with the angled RCS and dual torches, it is a competent salvage or combat vessel. The shortened cargo bay and lack of drone slots make the vulture less suited for mining then the Eagle, though it maintains the same processed cargo capacity.

The grinder can have it's rotation disabled when opening through the mechanic tab in OMS.

Notes

  • Due to the uncomfortable crew quarters, the Vulture has an below-zero Morale stability point.
  • Despite having cramped crew quarters, the Vulture has the standard Prospector crew capacity of six.
