The Eagle Prospector is a dedicated mining ship, and is quite capable in that role. The Eagle comes with a unique asteroid grinder capable of breaking up and ingesting small asteroids, while a large processed cargo storage and two drone bays make in-ring refining a common strategy. Twin torches and an angled thruster layout provide excellent maneuverability, especially with gimbled RCS.
Notes
- The Eagle Prospector is currently the only ship explicitly designed for mining, not including custom modifications.
