Under Review.

[member="Samsay Sohn"], this is a pretty neat idea.

Manufacturer: Sohn's Mining Company

I would go to the Company Modification thread and request that "Shipbuilding" be added to your company's operations so that they can make this.

Classification: Mining Harvester Length: 32 Meters Width: 28 Meters Height: 22 Meters Armament: Very Low; Mining Lasers Defenses: Very Low; Standard Armor Plating Hangar: None Maneuverability Rating: Extreme Speed Rating: High Hyperdrive Class: 0.3

For comparison purposes, are we comparing this to a corvette or starfighter?

You're currently using the corvette template, but its size firmly places it in the starfighter category.

I've edited the template to a starfighter template.

Is it possible to keep this design as open as possible and let the manufacturer position just be "Any?" That way I can just ask another company to produce these ships as anyone can construct it.

There's not really an "any" option. If you don't know of a particular company or faction that you want to manufacture these (especially if it's not going to be Sohn's Mining Company), I'd recommend using an unclaimed canon starship building company, such as Corellia StarDrive. That way you can NPC buying them from someone else, but you won't have to worry about running the company.

I've edited the template to a starfighter template.

So with the change to starfighter template, we can talk about balancing. This is somewhat overpowered in terms of flight performance, having four more ratings (or stat bumps/increases) than would normally be allowed. You can lower stats from wherever you like to get to balancing..

My personal recommendation, based on this being a noncombat craft, would be to reduce the hyperdrive to average (x1), reduce maneuverability to "Very High", and change squadron count to "Average". But ultimately, it's up to you on how to balance it.
