While the Light Miner and Heavy Miner are designed for day to day operations within a few hours range of a dockable habitat, the Gallic Metal Service designed the DS Series Miner to be capable of functioning for several days without being resupplied. The ship is often sent on long range prospecting missions without accompaniment, but is also employed in short range mining work when stronger mining lasers are needed to cut through denser materials. Along with more substantial life support equipment, and a larger cargo hold for collecting samples, the ship is both more heavily armed and armored than lighter GMS designs, so that it can adequately defend itself from any hostilities.

GMS ships are designed and built under contract with EFL Oil & Machinery shipyards, but they are also sold on the civilian market to small mining companies and entrepreneurial prospectors.

Handling


Review (4.88)

The Plier is the best Bomber in Gallia despite being a Super Heavy Fighter. Sporting 4 forward-facing guns and 3 360-coverage turrets, the ability to mount a Cap VII, Bomber hardware like SNACS and Novas, and an askew frame (seriously, the center of the ship from the front is a thin strip), one can pose a credible threats to ships several times their weight class whilst still packing enough of a punch to handle snubs. Consider the SNAC placenent. They are literally above and below the cockpit. With the same energy regen as the Eclipse, more bots and bats, a faster cruise speed, and more cargo to carry the spoils, it is hard to be disappointed in this little package's performance. Expect a great nerf to come to this ship in the future. In short, the Plier is a good utility ship that can carry its weight in any situation. Good hunting.
