Argo Mole

This ship can be operated solo, but to make full use of the Mole it requires a crew of at least four.  The positions they operate are pilot/scanner operator, port laser operator starboard laser operator, and forward center laser operator. Argo’s iconic multi-operator laser extractor, more commonly referred to as the MOLE, lets you work faster and more effectively than ever before, thanks to its patented trilateral mining system. Three independently controlled articulated extraction stations allow for maximum power and near-limitless versatility. The MOLE lives by the adage “many hands make for light work”.

It can be purchased for 2,061,000 aUEC at The New Deal in Lorville on Hurston.

Mining Laser

The mining laser is the ship attachment you will use to first fracture the rock or asteroid into small enough pieces to store. Next, the mining head will need to be switched to the extraction mode to extract the ore from the surface to the storage compartments on the ship.

Even though the Prospector comes outfitted with a laser, you may want to consider upgrading. There are five more to choose from.  Make sure to consider the strengths and drawbacks of each before you make a purchase.  Check out the Mining Lasers and Consumables page for more information.

Consumables

Mining laser consumables are consumable mining items which can be used to alter the behavior of mining lasers. There are eight to choose from.  But, you only have at the most 3 slots for them. Make sure to consider the strengths and drawbacks of each before outfitting our ship with them.  Check out the Mining Lasers and Consumables page for more information.
