>>8072794Lighting was terrible today so apologies for dark and fuzzy shots... This ship grew to be larger than I'd first planned, which seems to happen a lot with my builds, heh. It is probably the most heavily armed of all the mining op craft, with a defensive suite to match that of the carrier. All this firepower and protection is quite necessary, as their mission entails traveling through potentially hostile space, carrying out tasks that require the ship to conduct vulnerable slow orbits of potential mining targets. Discretion is also key, with a suite of stealthy assets and jamming systems. Another unique aspect of this ship is it is the only one of the fleet to date that is not intended for submerged operations: it can land on the water's surface (necessary for reasons that will be shown below) but cannot travel underwater as many of its systems are too delicate.
