Xeno Ships?

[Dusty Lens]

How about the Mining Ship for that purpose? It's got a fairly huge cargo bay and is one heck of a devastating lady. As far as I know it's sold in the Xeno Guard system as well.

Of course, it has some weakness - mainly the immobility. Still, I think that wonderfully matches the Xenos as the underdogs they are.

I actually do employ one to great effect and she is a mean beast... Though I need to get a cap armor for it.

I even managed to down one spectacularly mediocre lux liner with it... Though that was one heck of a fight to say the least. But I digress.

My greatest qualm with the mining ship is the difficulty it encounters navigating asteroid fields in pursuit of quarry. Its engine pods catch on rocks extremely frequently, which makes for poor times.

That being said she is very effective at scaring the heck out of people, they generally don't expect much from a mining vessel when first encountered. Then come the green bolts and the fear.
