The Prospector has a retractable and adjustable arm which has a Size 1 mining laser hard-point, giving you the ability to interchange different mining lasers that are specifically designed for certain types of minerals.
Scanner
The ships scanner has been designed to targeting pockets directly, pin-pointing specific resources and helping to extracting just that type of mineral you are specifically looking for.
Living Quarters
Despite it being a industrial vehicle, the Prospector still has a spacious living area which includes a bed, bathroom and a small kitchenette, essential for those longer mining runs.
Detachable Containers
When the vehicles storage containers are full with ore, these can be easily detached and transferred to another ship for the ore to be either sent to be processed or to be sold raw. The Prospector can carry up to 16 of those containers and use up to 4 of them at any time.
Cargo

Lore

MISC began developing the Prospector in 2910 as an extension of the Freelancer project. With their success in survey and fire suppression, MISC was looking to expand the use of its chassis. With that aim in mind, MISC wrote off nine Freelancers which were utilized by the Cold Boot team to develop as they saw fit.[9]

The Prospector would go on to be the third ship project of the Cold Boot team, and in early phases was dubbed "The Miner."[9]

However, with little anticipated need for small scale mining ships, "The Miner" was an unlikely candidate to be adopted by MISC. By 2914 two conversion attempts had failed. The first prototype as an unsightly and ungainly beast, and pushed the boundaries of the teams budget. Twenty-six test flights later, the team had a large enough success that their program was allowed to continue.[9]

"The Miner" would have four prototype designs, the A-1, A-2, A-3, and finally the B-1. Over the course of the next eight years, MISC-HI teams would work on developing a hull for the ship, while a second team would develop a miniaturized mining array that could be stored within the ship's fuselage.[9]

In 2923 the ship would finally be named "The Prospector" and would see extending time in jump tunnel situations and live testing. The ship would be unveiled the next year at the 2924 Intergalactic Aerospace Expo.[9]

Shortly after the ships launch in 2925 MISC would see its stock prices hit rock bottom and stay there for the next two years.[9]

This however, would not be the end of MISC. With new reports coming out of a massive discovery of previously ignored raw materials on Ferron II.[9]

Chloe Raznick was an owner and operator of one of the first 2925 MISC Prospectors off the assembly line. She had made the legal purchase of several hundred parcels of former military ground testing area on Ferron II in the hopes of salvaging expended shells and claiming the small bounties on radioactive debris collection. While in the process of surveying her lot, she discovered a deep chasm into which she navigated her Prospector. There she came across what is now known as the 'Chessex Lode'. A massive discovery of previously ignored raw materials which made a her fortune. Within days of the discovery, Prospector sales shot through the roof as people rushed to try their hands at this new career.[9]
