The Mining Ship is an open-market trading ship in Polycon EV.
"Messiah Mining's Deep Space Mining Craft is a multipurpose vessel that is suitable for both heavy lifting and bulk transport. Because of the dangers associated with deep space travel, the vessel also mounts a much heftier than normal weapons load. This has made them popular as combat vessels with some of the more "cash strapped" sovereigns. Like much of what Messiah Mining makes, the design for the ship is not it's own, but one which was made by Ramdyme Shipyards and later sold to Messiah Mining when it was found to be unprofitable." ― Buying a Mining Ship

Antique[]
"This is an original Randyne docking vessel, the ship the Messiah Mining's mining ship is based on. It appears to be a mining ship in the truest form, and has none of the weapons and armor that Messiah versions do. The owner is asking much less than what the price for a Messiah Mining version would go for, but you have to question the safety of flying around in a 500 year old ship." ― Buying an old Mining Ship
"This has to be one of the poorest ships you have ever seen. The vessel is massively outdated, it has to be over 100 years old, and it has been stripped of most anything of value." ― Hiring an old Mining Ship
