Review
The Mining Ship has been built for one purpose : to mine. The priorities for a mining ship are
All these requirements were admirably satisified in the ship's design. The Miner has a tremendous armor rating of 145,000 which is far beyond any transport with comparable capactity can offer. The cargo bay is also very large, offering an excellent value. These properties make the Miner an attractive proposition for ferrying goods, with good reason. However, it's primary purpose is to mine -- that is to stand still, in a hostile environment, and be able to take whatever circumstances thrown at it. Potential buyers of the Miner should keep this in mind: it will do a mining job very well, but it has not been designed as a freighter or transport. If you are considering the purchase of the Miner for goods transport, you need to know this:
In some people's opinnion, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and the miner is occasionally used as a transport ship. I am one of those people, so I can't recommend against using the Miner as a cargo ship. However, it comes with a strong sanity health warning. Prolonged exposure to the noise level produced by the mechanical workings of the ship is very wearing. Take long breaks between assignments.Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Halogen -- 04:12, 9 September 2009 (MDT) |
