At first I'd like to say that I KUDOS for ammount of work You put on create of 4.86.
but - why You hate small miners so much?
Since there was an change in Mining system (shooted rocks are transfered directly to cargohold)
Small miners in Fighter class mining ships have a bad times.
Basalt - IMHO was some sort disaster...
but
Mafic and Dacite was perfect - sice You could mine without 'back' or 'turret' view
And now we have ships witch not only are useless in mining process but also totally unwieldy.
I do not know who made that projects - they looks nice but IMHO someone forgot about this ships main purpouse. That should be ships which operate between rocks, asteroids!
not some beauty contest!!
I imagine that probably there is nothing You can do with their looks but for gods sake ad least change that turret to 360' one so You could mine without problems in cocpit view.
