Prospector
Prospector: Mines asteroids with a base hold of 200 · cannot join a raid fleet.

How to use it
Mines asteroids with a base hold of 200 · cannot join a raid fleet
A Prospector can be sent only to revealed asteroids and debris fields. Its base outbound and empty-return speed is 1238; laden return speed is 619. Its base hold is 200; a Derrick and Prospector Holds research can improve these values. Each world starts with room for two; Prospector Holds III opens a third craft slot. It never joins raids or home defence.
Requirements & connections
Build at Shipyard level 1. No completed research is required for this hull.
Prospector is a mining craft and cannot join raid fleets. Its craft limit and mining capacity are separate from ordinary fleet cargo. Derrick improves it, and it still uses Hangar room. Read mining before sending it.
