I haven’t been this excited for a ship in a while.
To me it completely replaces the MOLE, even for undercrewed operations, and potentially even for occasional solo use, since most of the functionality is centralised on the bridge, so you won’t have to run down ladders and elevators to reach the mining heads, plus they are on rails now so no need to swap back and forth to the pilot seat to make small adjustments. Of course, it really depends on how engineering gameplay impacts large ships with small/solo crews.
And 500+ scu of cargo? Crazy. It’s even got a tractor beam for loading/unloading.
For me it was an instant buy (well, upgrade). Anyone else?
Yeah it looks really cool, I’m currently figuring out what to melt and what to upgrade if I did get one but that brings me to the point which is the cost. At that price, it’s not that far off an Orion so it could be better to make the leap to that.
But yeah, not sure. It is a really cool looking ship and it’s probably going to be great to use as well. I actually don’t have a mining ship right now but have enjoyed that loop in the past so will probably pick up either this or the Orion.
