With the introduction of core mining, I decided to fit out an AspX solely for the purpose. I tried out both Krait's, but their limited cockpit views and lesser maneuverability had me back in the AspX in no time.
The AspX is the perfect little core miner, managing to rake in 50 million in a single run, and its a pleasure to fly amongst the 'roids with its great visibility.
The 6 hardpoints allow for the full compliment of mining tools - even a pair of mining lasers which are redundant for core-mining but fit the RP perspective - and a multicanon to keep any pests busy till the law arrives.
A 2A refinery is fine for core mining, as you only collect 3-4 different core minerals in a planetary ring. This means I can mount two cargo pods (6+3 class) for 72 cargo capacity.
I've tried a few different mining ships, and the AspX is the clear winner for my style. Love the little beastie!
