You can put 7A/8A low emission power plant for better heat control
Lol, the Cutter says "hold my beer ! " - jokes asides, the Cutter put the Annie in shadows for a big margin - not only she can jump, but can harvest 2x more than the little Annie !the best ship for strip mining asteroids quicky is the Anaconda.... mainly because you can fit 6 Limpit Collectors giving you a total of 17 Collector Limpits.
My strip mining build below can strip out an asteroid in just 50 seconds and have all the pieces picked up, there is NO FUEL SCOOP, and it has an Engineered 2A Shielded FSD for the purposes of having good thermals to prevent overheating generated from using 5 Mining Lances (allows mining distance of 2km)..... mainly it cant JUMP, this is a Carrier ONLY deployable Strip miner.
Now using the Mining Lance from that far away is not good and is much slower for your Limpits to travel to and fro thus taking longer to collect, how I use this Strip Mining build is ill start lasering it out at about 1.5km and move in at a safe distance at under 1km, this will prevent and of those double axis spinning asteroids from hitting your ship and mining at a very fast rate as the same as using Two 2D normal mining laser that have only a range of 500mCoriolis EDCD Edition

A Cutter with 4 x class II mining laser will clean a rock in 20 seconds - I will not mine with class one if not for fun.... The Cutter have enough juice in dis to clean any rock with only 50-60% of dist charge, and still can jump some healthy 120 yl at ease.
No ship come near to the Cutter when we talk about efficient and fast mining - not the Annie not the Vette. That is, if you are not mining in Haz sites, where the Vette has the edge if you are the kind who welcome the Pirates.
other 10 sec : p
The cutter can take 4 class V collectors easily.
And is not only that - The Cutter is way faster with a scoop door open - 2 x faster than Conda - so you can race from rock to rock way faster - that translate in faster and more efficient mining run.

Yep. Cutter is the best miner of all the ships, by a decent margin. But Conda, comes close. If you have not Ranked to get the Cutter or Corvette, than the Conda is the only choice.
can a type 10 fit 6a fsd , 6a thruster, 6a power dist. ? this station im in sells it but it isnt an option for my T-10 to buy?
must i buy like a 7a powerplant to be able to fit a 6a? she has a 8e power plant a t m .
Looks like it can. I can't see what you're seeing at the station, so I don't know why you can't buy 'em. Why do you want a smaller FSD anyway?

i want less size because i want to mine. so these have less weight / mass . im fitting about 356 cargoLooks like it can. I can't see what you're seeing at the station, so I don't know why you can't buy 'em. Why do you want a smaller FSD anyway?

i'm trying to match core internal with optimal mass of shipWcargo
The Python is the best size to cargo ship in the game. With a Max cargo of 294 tons and still fit on a Medium landing pad. Decent internals and Weapon mounts.
I wonder what the connection is, small fsd and miner. I don't get it.
That is why I mentioned the Python. The only reason I can think of is accessibility to sell to Outposts that don't have Large size landing pads.
Me personally, I like to limit the number of ships on my FC. So I have the Phantom for exploration and mining in da black, and the Type-9 for transferring stuff when back.
