From the Roadmap Update:
And more from 3.7.2 data mining:
Mining Consumables:
This means we're going to have some variety for the Prospector soon and will make outfitting one with good components a more viable option than sticking to stock.Mining Heads
This card introduces 5 new mining lasers to the game, all with different stats ±. Some will transfer power faster but induce a lot more instability into the rock, while others will make mining more stable but slow down transfer. Some mining lasers will reduce the resistance levels of the rocks, making them ideal for cooperative gameplay, or will be incredibly powerful but more expensive. Work on these new components is nearing completion, resulting in the Mining Heads card being added to the Roadmap for Alpha 3.8.
And more from 3.7.2 data mining:
Mining Consumables:
Torpid Mining (Charge Pulse)
Manufacturer: Greycat Industrial
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Charge Rate: -20%
Heat Generation: -20%
Signature Size: -30%

When the Torpid consumable interacts with a mining laser, it allows the operator more precise power adjustments for 20 seconds to help stay within a deposit's sweet spot.
Surge Mining (Explosive Charge)
Manufacturer: Thermyte Concern
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Charge Window Level: +30%
Duration: Instant
Instantly inject energy into a deposit with the Surge. This single use consumable combines with a mining laser to deliver a burst of power that immediately fills part of the current charge window.
Stampede Mining (Fracture Charge)
Manufacturer: Thermyte Concern
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Charge Rate: +25%
Duration: Instant
Increase your overall mining speed by activating the Stampede, which produces a pulse that immediately enhances a mining laser's charge rate by 25%.
Lifeline Mining (Fuse Deposit)
Manufacturer: Greycat Industrial
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Shatter Damage: -50%
Heat Generation: +20%
Signature Size: +10%
Duration: 10 seconds
Avoid a disaster with the Lifeline. Save yourself and your ship by using this consumable to significantly reduce damage caused by a shattering deposit.
Rime Mining (Heat Vent Module)
Manufacturer: Greycat Industrial
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Charge Window Level: -50%
Heat Generation: - 30%
Signature Size: +30%
Duration: Instant
Reduce the chance of a catastrophic explosion by using the Rime mining consumable to dissipate heat and improve a deposit's stability.
Brandt Mining (Laser Focuser)
Manufacturer: Shubin Interstellar
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Resistance: -10%
Charge Window Rate: +15%
Heat Generation: +10%
Signature Size: +20%
Duration: 30 seconds
Strategically use this consumable to crack difficult rocks. The Brandt provides 30 seconds of additional power to increase a mining laser's charge rate while also reducing a deposit's resistance.
Optimum Mining (Laser Oscillato)
Manufacturer: Greycat Industrial
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Optimal Charge Window Size: +30%
Heat Generation: +10%
Signature Size: +20%
Duration: 15 seconds
The Optimum makes mining safer by increasing the optimal charge window for 15 seconds. This allows the laser to pump a deposit with more power before it crosses into the catastrophic danger pool.
Mining Laser Heads:Forel Mining (Tremor Pulse)
Manufacturer: Shubin Interstellar
Item Type: Mining Consumable
Resistance: -30%
Instability Dampening: -20%
Heat Generation: +15%
Signature Size: +20%
Duration: 20 seconds
Shubin developed the Forel consumable to temporarily distort a mining laser to produce a unique tremor. The resulting beam reduces a rock's resistance, but also makes it less stable and more dangerous to mine.
Dozer Mining Laser
Manufacturer: Greycat Industrial
Item Type: Mining Laser Head
Resistance: -40%
Instability Dampening: +30%
Extraction Throughput: +20%
Maximum Power Transfer Rate: -25%
Optimal Charge Window Rate: -20%
Sub-Item Slot: 3
Greycat classifies the Dozer as a support laser head best utilized when mining with others. Generating a weaker than average beam, the Dozer safely heats deposits to reduce their resistance and instability but struggles to shatter them on its own. For mining crews, it's an ideal support laser to use alongside other lasers heads.
Arbor Mining Laser
Manufacturer: Greycat Industrial
Item Type: Mining Laser Head
Stats: TBD
The Arbor became the universe's most heralded mining laser head thanks to Greycat Industrial's exacting standards and business prowess. The laser head's solid, reliable design found favor among industrial and solo operations for effectively balancing speed and safety. Greycat capitalized on this reputation by securing exclusive contracts that made the Arbor the standard laser head on most mining ships.
Hofstede Mining Laser
Manufacturer: Shubin Interstellar
Item Type: Mining Laser Head
Instability Dampening: +50%
Maximum Mining Range: -50%
Sub-Item Slots: 0
Built with safety in mind, the Hofstede sacrifices range and focuses on dampening a deposit's instability to make it safer to mine. Miners looking to decrease the chance of a catastrophic explosion should turn to this reliable and affordable mining laser head from Shubin.
Klein Mining Laser
Manufacturer: Shubin Interstellar
Item Type: Mining Laser Head
Maximum Power Transfer Rate: +20%
Instability Dampening: -50%
Sub-Item Slots: 0
Shubin designed the Klein to generate a powerful laser that makes mining faster. This increased speed incurs additional risk by boosting a deposit's instability and chance of exploding, but if used correctly, the Klein can quickly reap rewards for the careful miner.
Impact Mining Laser
Manufacturer: Thermyte Concern
Item Type: Mining Laser Head
Maximum Power Transfer Rate: +20%
Optimal Charge Window Rate: +20%
Extraction Throughput: +20%
Shatter Damage: +50%
Catastrophic Charge Window Rate: +100%
Sub-Item Slot: 1
Mine difficult deposits easier and faster with the Impact. Thermyte Concern created special focus lenses to increase the laser's power and provide the precision required for a larger optimal charge window. This powerful mining laser head does require careful management, as deposits will overheat quicker and explode with more force.
Helix Mining Laser
Manufacturer: Thermyte Concern
Item Type: Mining Laser Head
Optimal Charge Window Rate: +30%
Maximum Mining Range: +25%
Instability Dampening: +50%
Maximum Power Transfer Rate: +30%
Extraction Throughput: +20%
Optimal Charge Window Size: +20%
Throttle Responsiveness Delay: -30%
Catastrophic Charge Window Rate: +30%
Shatter Damage: +150%
Sub-Item Slots: 3
Thermyte Concern engineered the Helix to be a mining laser head with impressive power and increased range to make it ideal when dealing with difficult deposits. Yet, all this power can be dangerous, as it also slows the throttle's responsiveness and increases the intensity of explosions. To some, the effective use of the Helix has become a sign of a true mining professional.
