			A mining ship normally carries an extraction tool, collector support, a refinery, cargo space, and enough limpets for the planned run. The exact layout depends on the method: a laser miner does not need seismic charges, while a core miner generally does not need to spend hardpoints on mining lasers.

			Most ship-based mining happens in [[Planetary Rings\|planetary rings]]. Ring hotspots revealed by a [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] are a planning aid rather than a guarantee; a commander still has to prospect individual asteroids and verify the current market before treating a run as profitable.
