Commercial Miner

The Commercial Miner is a somewhat expensive but fast miner.

Description
A mining ship with little interior and high ore hold, designed to mine multiples ores with relatively speaking, fair efficiency. Fills in the gap between the Industrial Miner and more expensive miners such as the Rorqual and M Class.

Interior
The Commercial Miner has almost no interior. There is just a large glass cockpit with one seat and no detail, with the floor being a metallic texture. The Miner parks with the cockpit facing the terminal.

Advantage

 * With 5 Small Mining Lasers, you can somewhat mine ores quickly.
 * Good amount of hull.
 * It has a great amount of shields.
 * High ore hold.

 * High speed for its size.

Disadvantage

 * No warp drive.
 * You have to rotate the ship sideways to mine at maximum efficiency.
 * Relatively expensive.

Strategy

 * Check the Minimap every 30 seconds
 * Try to mine near your Starbase to decrease the chance of your ship being shot down.
 * Remember if you mine far from your base have protection or be prepared it lacks warp drive making it a prime target if a war is declared upon your faction.
