as gas mining ships. While the Anki and the Garanchou are most suitable for gas mining, due to the amount, and more important placement of the turrets, the Kamome is not. It only has 6 turrets, 3 on the left side, 3 on the right side. Putting a mining turret at one of the slots would lower the defensive capabilities of the Kamome extremely. Moreover, due to the fact that it has 3 on each side, there is no "good" spot for a mining turret so far.
As the Kujira lost its mining ability in the 3. update we only have the Kamome left as mining transport ship.
I would suggest putting a 7. Turret ontop of the Kamome, just like the Salvager Frigate got a 7. turret in 4.86.
What do you think? In my opinion that would be a reasonable change, and would not make the Kamome overpowered and finally usable as mining ship.

If there is fighter class mining turret slot(class1)- the stats of the ship wont be changed so much- even if you put other turret not mining one there.

At 2800 units, the Kamome also has the largest hold of any mining ship.
My suggestion - keep a couple of extra Type3 guns in your hold. When you are heading out to trade your mined gas, swap your mining guns for Type3 Transport guns.
All 6 turrets on the Kamome can fire backwards as well as forwards. Chainfiring 3x2 Type 3 guns gives a machinegun effect that can go on forever.
mining lasers on the front slots just as Escopton suggested. The rest Type 1 turrets. Combined with the agility of the Kamome and maybe an armour upgrade it will get you safe to the next base.
And as mjolnir said: either fight or mine. if you want to kill something in it, don't take any mining turrets at all (or just drop the shield and have a wingman to finish the opponent off).
