So how would you go about off loading the mined ore from a prospector onto another ship, ON SITE, then return to mine again until all replacement ore containers are filled and loaded? Argo? That's the only option I can think of. One person control cargo ship responsible for keeping a look out, maybe a Taurus or Carrack, another person on standby with an Argo, and the other mining with prospector.
Would be really nice to have a multicrew ship big enough to carry a prospector and a Argo and have enough space to haul all the mined ore from the prospector. I mean yeah there's the Orion but I'm thinking more of a crucible type small fleet mining vessel that has a prospector and argo on board, With good shields and decent enough armament to defend against pirates until help can arrive or maybe ability to launch snub nose fighter. Although this would probably be considered OP. Almost like a small carrier made for multiple cargo crews. What you guys and gals think? How do you think on site mining would work with a small crew of 3-5 people?
Only thought this up because me and 2 other people began discussing how we would go about mining if its just the three of us.
So basically in order to transport cargo from the prospector to the cargo ship you would need the Argo. But we would need a ship capable of transporting both the Argo and the cargo itself. So the question would probably be, to our knowledge, what ship is capable of hauling an Argo and have enough room for the cargo after all prospector ore containers have been loaded?
