Current top-level direct gun mounts and their fitted children match the extracted direct pilot-gun count. Remote turret slaving is a separate documented assignment; a crew operator may override it.

4.10.2-LIVE.12881860. A bridge-controllable flag alone does not identify the pilot as operator. Documented pilot slaving is described separately above.
Current independent corrections are reflected in the facts above and in catalog search, filters and comparison. Imported reference data and immutable review history stay intact. Material corrections earn current hull credit once per contributor and independent reviewer, not per revision. Existing private ship wishlists can receive one in-app notice; no email is sent.
Scan, work a manageable deposit, then get the material to processing or an accepting buyer.

Read the installed head, attachment slots and consumable charges before leaving.
Ready when: Your intended attachments match this exact head.
Save the exact fit in your hangar notes. A module plan for another miner is a starting point to check, not proof it fits.
Scan and assess the deposit before committing power. Start with a target your setup can control.
Ready when: You can keep the charge under control and stop safely.
Call out who changes laser power. Multiple operators should coordinate rather than each reacting independently to the same energy change.
Inspect the carried material, receiving location and processing choice before ending the run.
Ready when: You know where the output will be and how you will collect it.
Keep processing costs, collection transport and your next login time in the plan. Listed cargo SCU is not an ore-bag capacity specification.
Keep personal supplies and collected ore separate. Rehearse a small mining batch before filling storage or paying for a refinery order.
Establish a safe position, identify the mining controls and stop the beam before changing tasks.
Handoff check: Read what entered storage and decide whether to continue or return.
Check the offered processing method and a compatible later collection ship.
Handoff check: Record the order, output volume and collection plan before paying.

No dated offer included for this hull yet. This does not mean it is unavailable.
Rentals are temporary access, not ownership. The PU rental timer continues while logged out, and rented component loadouts cannot be customized. Daily rates above do not establish discounts for longer rentals. RSI rental rules (updated 2026-04-28).
In-game purchases are distinct from pledges and may be affected by Alpha resets. RSI in-game purchase guidance.
Pledge availability and real-money prices have not been checked in this snapshot. Official ship information. An in-game offer does not establish pledge availability or that a game package is included.
Check whether you can both position the ship and operate its tool from your intended station. A large crew miner adds seat changes and unattended flight time.

Its bespoke ore-only pods need unlocked ports for tractor removal; the Q&A gives no quick-detach procedure.
Plan processing and compatible output collection first. Do not treat another hull’s pods or a freight shipment as interchangeable.

The head determines available attachment slots. Modules change its behavior; some are passive and others have limited uses.
Inspect the installed head and available slots before buying. Compare stability and charge-window tradeoffs, and carry replacements for consumables.

The Q&A specifies an integrated head with two sub-item slots. The head cannot be swapped for another mining or salvage head.
Customize compatible modules instead. Check live slot behavior before buying; do not apply this mining specification to the Golem OX freighter.
