The Courbe is the primary workhorse of GMS mining operations. It is designed to provide its pilot with a comfortable work station for long shifts in zero gravity mining fields. Its mining lasers are capable of slicing into large asteroids and burning away extraneous rock. Also used as an escort for GMS convoys, the Courbe performs adequately in combat, but is intended mainly to delay pirates long enough for its convoy to escape rather than to overcome hostile opposition.
GMS ships are designed and built under contract with EFL shipyards, but they are also sold on the civilian market to small mining companies and entrepreneurial prospectors.

Review
The Courbe handles about as well as your average VHF, and has more hull than most. Its hull, handling, and shape, all turn it into a sort of "White Titan" that can actually be very dangerous in a fight. It being able to fire 6 guns and a turret forwards, and 2 turrets in any direction gives it a good amount of firepower. Essentially, the Courbe is the most powerful civilian VHF on the market, aside from the heavier Plier. For mining, it is most convenient to use the rear-firing turret as a mining turret, so as to not sacrifice forward firepower. However, if one were to dedicate both turrets to mining, there would still be a good amount of firepower from the 6 guns.
