Maneuverability Rating: 8 (empty cargo hold), 9 (full cargo hold)
Speed Rating: 9 (empty cargo hold), 10 (full cargo hold)
Hyperdrive Class: 3
Strengths:
Heavy shielding and armor allows the Niffler to take multiple hits
Large cargo hold of 55,000 metric tons
Weaknesses:
No offensive weaponry to speak of
Slow when fully loaded
Description:
With the need for more materials to fuel Krayt's shipyards, it was decided that a mining vessel specifically for the company and the open market was needed. Deciding upon the Niffler out of several designs given to her by Krayt engineers, Darth Arcanix ordered their commission.
The Niffler-class Mining Vessel was created to be purely about extracting minerals from asteroids and planetoids. Designed with six tri-beam lasers to easily burn away excess rock to get at the minerals, and four tractor beams to move the extracted material into the large cargo hold the Niffler has. The ship is also equipped with heavy shielding and armor, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the ships from asteroids and from raiders.
The Niffler does not have any offensive weaponry to speak of, meaning it is not designed to engage in any aggressive actions. The ships is also rather slow, especially when it is fully loaded with ore, making it a tempting target for marauding pirates and enemies.
Dev Thread: If deemed necessary
Intent: To create a small mining ship to provide material for both Krayt Industries and anyone who buys them.
Who can use: Anyone who purchases one/Krayt Industries
