The Mining Ship, A rough way to fly......

[centauri5pirate]

I've used the mining ship quite a bit and it doesn't go anywhere very fast in a field but thats the point right?

It has 10 transport turret potential and can easily kill NPC gunboats. It may be fine.

Admittedly it is annoying if your in a hurry. But acually flying at about 10kps in a preset pattern on auto pilot and shooting behind you yields much more to mine and easy to hit bits while while not keeping you stationary and letting the ships super strafe do it's thing.

Yes indeed, very true. I was just talking to my mining buddy on the phone about that very thing when your post came up. We had discussed various ships, thinking perhaps the train or large transport, but to keep this completely in RP, we've decided to stick with the Mining ships. After all, it's not just the money we're after, it's the fun in working hard for it and seeing how far this can go.

Nobody ever said a miner's life was an easy one...
