MOLE

The Argo Astronautics Mole is a medium sized multicrew mining ship, featuring a "multi operator laser extractor" (M.O.L.E.). With 3 independent mining turrets and a large storage capacity, it is a ship perfect for efficient multicrew mining.

"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'."

Development
The ship was first revealed to CitizenCon 2019 attendees during the "Ship Talk" panel in the Croshaw Auditorium. This panel wasn't streamed live but made available to everyone later on YouTube. At this stage, the Mole was already fairly far into production state, because Cloud Imperium announced that it would be made available for Alpha 3.8, due later that year.

During the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo a few days after CitizenCon 2019, the Mole was also featured in a Whitley's Guide episode. Here, presenter Jax Mccleary gained exclusive access to the Mole.

The ship was made playable for Star Citizen Alpha 3.8.0.
