Refiner-Class 400-Ton Mining Ship

A Mongoose 2e design. If the Prospector-Class Mining ship is for the well-to-do miner, the enhanced Refiner-Class Mining Ship takes that to the next level. It comes with two sets of mining drones, but has replaced the default sorting equipment with an actual refinery, so this ship can produce far more than its plain cousin. Rather than straight common ore, this one produces 50% common ore, 30% uncommon ore, 15% gems and crystals, and 5% precious metals (and at twice the output to boot!). Where a ton of common ore might fetch Cr1,000, a ton of this mixture would bring Cr7,500. And as the ship can process 20 tons a day, that can quickly pay for the upgrades. The hold will take about 10 days to fill and the MCr1.5 value of the haul will more than make the payments and expenses even if you are jumping to mine and selling it elsewhere.
