It hurts me a little to say this, but we really dont need a mining ship with gunboat weapons. If we get it, other corporations will want one, causing everyone to get annoyed.
It's mining bonus would never be as strong as the hedgemon, and would doubtfully be as strong as the mafic, so hardcore mining groups would probebly ignore it, and miners who just want to make as much money as possible as fast as possible would stick to the cheap hedgemon.
