EXPUNGED

Looks familiar. I want to say EVE, but I'm not so sure. EDIT- I don't think it's EVE, but even so...
The shape and overall structure reminds me greatly of some Sci-Fi thing, but I can't for the life of me remember what...

Looks nice, but I just can't offer anything else constructive with that on my mind:P

How about the Charon from EVE?

I made a basic model of it in Sketchup, but after that, the similarities end.

Edit: FYI, that means it isn't an import.

Not really necessary cos if it's gonna be anywhere as unmovable as the original barge then its as good as dead meat in terms of combat.

Hightened firepower seems necessary for an asteroid miner.

Ahh, maybe, it does look similar, but I don't think that's what I was thinking of:D

Maybe it accidentally bears some resemblance to something I saw a while ago, but no matter.
I think it looks good so far, and don't worry, I know an import when I see one, and I'm even OK with imports as long as they fit the RP and style they are intended for.

Keep up the good work.

I assumed you could tell Ghh, but alot of people would cry "lol! import!" at any chance they can:D

Sixteen transport turrets, 8 on top and on bottom. Arranged in columns of six stretching the length of the vessel.

My suggestion, anyway.

Looks like an aircraft carrier.

Also, notice how the mining ship has massive intake ducts on the front of it, to collect the broken pieces of asteroid, maybe this should have something similar.

Or maybe add an onboard refinary, a bit like the current barge, what with the chimneys and such.

Just to make it look more like a mining ship and less like a space-bourne super-carrier.

It looks a bit lacking in detail when you view it from the front. I like the exhausts and all that magguffin in the back though. Another thing I'd suggest is since you already divided the ship into sections you should flesh that out a little bit more, make them more distinct.
