MISC Prospector

For years, the Prospector has been the universe’s preferred mining vessel for solo operators. Featuring MISC’s sleek design sensibility and a bevy of upgraded high-tech mining tools, the 2947 Prospector perfectly balances form and functionality. The Prospector is a mining spacecraft developed by Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern (MISC). Spun off from the Freelancer project in 2925, the Prospector exchanges its sister ship’s modularity in favor of a focus on small scale mining via its suite of boring and extraction tools. Able to mine and transfer ore collected on both planetary surfaces and in space, Prospectors are favored by independent operators for their flexibility.
Here is a short history of publications about the series from the RSI website.
