Argo AstronauticsMedium MiningIndustrialS3

Argo's iconic multi-operator laser extractor, more commonly referred to as the MOLE, lets you work faster and more effectively than ever before, thanks to its patented trilateral mining system. Three independently controlled articulated extraction stations allow for maximum power and near-limitless versatility. The MOLE lives by the adage "many hands make for light work".

Stock everything except the 2× S2 wing self-defense weapons (we slot Lightstrike II cannons; stock ships with bare gimbal mounts). The MOLE's identity is the three mining lasers and the cabin layout that lets a single pilot drive all three; we don't change the system components because they're already capital-grade industrial (S3 Ginzel PP, S3 Thermalcore cooler, S3 5CA shield). Mining laser heads load at vendor — our scunpacked-data ingestion doesn't yet model nested mining-head loadouts, so we list the controllers as-shipped and note this as a known gap.
