Argo Mole - New pic added

[Black Sunder]

CIG has announced that Argo has a ship called the Mole. Now for a long time now I've been hoping for a 2-3 man mining ship the size of a connie and that may be coming true now. Supposed to be up for sale at CitCon and in game in December.

Our war against The Great Asteroid Menace(TGAM) may be going to the next level.

First look at Mole.

Gotcha. I'm imagining the big ship announcement is going up in Chris's presentation. I'm stoked. Staying up late for this shit!

So what's the story with the Mole? Bigger, better prospector? Or smaller?

4 person ship.
3 mining lasers
2x capacity of the Prospector
has saddlebags.

Freaking NICE! Any word on a salvage ship of that size?

 

[ThunderKraken]

[Doggen]

Haha im so happy for you

umm, would it not be better to have 4 people, each one having a prospector?

How does this make economic sense? Are NPCs going to be that cheap?

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is maybe a small org owns one but not everyone has a prospector. with 3 crew manning the lasers and a pilot you could mine stuff and split the profits until everyone had enough for their own ship? The only real costs would be fuel and repairs right?

I'm actually working on a small pro/con list for this very thing to present at the meeting next week:

It looks like a baby Idris! but with construction manliness

 

[DragonHeart]

Looks kinda cool.

 

[Blind Owl]

It was stated that the Mole could be used for mining rock types that usually would take a couple of prospectors. So I'm guessing you'd use different laser types to be able to mine different types of rock withing a single asteroid.

This is TEST Squadron, while 3 of them do the mining, the other hands out fresh beers to them to maximize their productivity.

They's just looking to get "Drilled". ;p
