With the new mining mechanics how about you do some cut and shut, Copy and paste magic and bring the type 8 into existence. Basically a type 7 with more hard points , optimiser set to Mining , more umph in the thrusters so it can dance about them space rocks , better pd to run the mining gumph maybe add some other shiny gimmick to it, not too fussed about a slf capacity I know some people would like that for defence but with so many options as a type 9, 10 , Keelback, challenger, krait , fgs to quench that thirst for slf jazz I don’t think we really need a keelbacked type 7 but hey I could be wrong . So maybe lengthen the hull so you can get a few more slots into it, add some thruster pods, two smalls by the cockpit two small hard points at the top and rear for turrets , and 4 medium hard points set port starboard and dorsal and ventrally . Add more lights to it than the normal two near the cockpit, mainly for esthetic reasons, it’s a miner so it should have lots of illumination for RP reasons even though we do now have night vision. 6 utility slots , a second cockpit seat for multi crew, a coffee machine , a few Easter eggs like a poster for a health and safety while mining or a guide on asteroid types or a transport cafe in space.
