Star Wars Mining Ship
You don't need to go to a galaxy far, far away. Find a universe of Jedi approved toys and games in the Star Wars shop at shopDisney. Here is my Y-8 Mining Vessel replica from the game Star Wars Galaxies:Jump to Lightspeed. Emphasis was placed on accurate exterior shape/detail rather than accurate scale. As such it is slightly over-scaled, but matches the rest of my JTL fleet. This category is for mining starship classes.

After the NGE i was basicly looking for a reason to keep playing the game and found that reason in being a space captain. See i never bought any expansions untill they made JTL free. Thats when i went and bought revenge of the wookies. Now i am a Space miner and very very rich. I mine the heck out of asteroids and sell them for 100CPU. So i am gonna do a little cut and paste of things that helped me on the way.First things first.
How do you start mining in space?To start mining you need equipment, there are two essential items and one optional one. The essential kit is a mining laser and cargo hold, the optional item is a tractor beam. There are now three types of cargo hold and mining laser which are craftable by your local shipwright, though he will need asteroid resources to make them, so you'll need quest ones (see below) or a well supplied shipwright to get you started.
The important stat for the mining lasers is 'Mining Extraction Rate'. Extraction rate (on mining lasers) effects the number of shots required to break through a stage in the mining process. With a class 1 laser it will take multiple shots to get a chunk off an asteroid, with a Y-8 Elite laser you can get multiple chunks for one shot. It does not effect the quantity of asteroid resource mined when destroying a final chunk but it does affect the number of shots to break up the rock (again as above a class 1 may take 2 or 3 shots, the Y-8 will take 1). NB a tractor beam is always better for mining the final rock.All the three things are given to you in a series of quests that start with Flash Harrison who is in the cantina in the great tree of Kachiro. Thats on the wookiee planet that comes with the expansion.It is basically the very old game 'Asteroids' - anyone who knows it has the basics, for everyone else here are the basics:Step one: Finding the asteroidsAsteroids show up on the navigation map in each sector they are in.

Here is my Y-8 Mining Vessel replica from the game Star Wars Galaxies:Jump to Lightspeed. Emphasis was placed on accurate exterior shape/detail rather than accurate scale. As such it is slightly over-scaled, but matches the rest of my JTL fleet. The interior is based slightly on the original, but is much larger as the original only used a small amount of the space possible. Fully survival/thruster damage capable.This ship initially started out during experimenting with the then-day-old window blocks in version 01.025; eventually turning into the most time consuiming ship I've made. Going through 2 major rebuilds and countless smaller changes, total time to completion was roughly 40+ hours.
