MULTI-CREW MINER

ARGO MOLE

A multi-crew mining ship with three laser stations

The ARGO MOLE is a multi-crew mining ship built around three independently operated mining heads and a large bank of detachable ore pods. It lets a coordinated crew spread across several deposits or combine its tools on material that would overwhelm a smaller mining ship.

Resource Extraction

More mining power, divided between real crew stations

One pilot places the ship while three mining operators scan, fracture, and collect from their own stations. Twenty-four detachable ore pods provide 288 SCU of total mineral capacity, giving the crew room to stay on a productive claim before handing the load to the next stage.

Working profile

A mining ship that rewards coordination

The MOLE turns mining into a coordinated crew operation. Several operators can read the same deposit, manage extraction power together, and keep ore moving without allowing one station to interfere with another.

Development notice

Built in an evolving universe

The MOLE is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.8.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

Mining equipment

The MOLE's mining system

Scanning identifies the deposit, three mining stations fracture and collect the ore, and detachable pods keep the recovered material ready for refining.

Mole crew deck
01

288 SCU mineral capacity

Twenty-four detachable pods, each holding 12 SCU, give the MOLE substantial room for recovered ore.

02

Dedicated pilot station

The pilot can concentrate on positioning, hazards, and keeping every mining head at an effective distance from the deposit.

03

Coordinated extraction

Shared calls about composition, fracture risk, and laser power help several operators work one deposit safely.

04

Detachable ore pods

Full mineral pods can be released for collection by a cargo ship, allowing the mining crew to keep the extraction site moving.

05

MOLE's deposit assessment

The MOLE compares composition, fracture risk, and remaining capacity before committing time and energy to a deposit.

06

Tool control on the MOLE

Clear feedback lets the operator adjust the three mining heads as the material responds instead of treating every rock the same way.

Defining feature

Three mining stations working as one crew

Three independently controlled mining stations can work separate deposits or combine their power on one difficult fracture.

SelectConfirm the deposit before using the three mining heads

Bring the three mining heads onto a deposit only after the MOLE confirms composition, risk, and free storage.

ExtractWatch the ore flow from all three mining heads

Monitor the three mining heads and the material flow throughout extraction.

TransferKeep material from the three mining heads moving into storage

Move material created by the three mining heads into storage before the MOLE's handling path becomes the bottleneck.

Scan, extract, collect, transfer

Coordinating a multi-operator mining shift

The MOLE turns a promising deposit into valuable ore by connecting the first scan, the three mining heads, collection, and transport to a refinery.

MOLE
01
Scan

Choose material worth the MOLE's time and capacity

A mining cycle begins by comparing the deposit with the MOLE's extraction equipment and route to refining.

02
Extract

Use the three mining heads with controlled power

The MOLE's operator uses the three mining heads after checking the deposit's composition, stability, and value.

03
Collect

Move recovered material into the MOLE's storage

The operator stops extraction before the MOLE's storage or handling system becomes the bottleneck.

04
Transfer

Send the MOLE's load to a refinery

The MOLE creates value when its collected material reaches a refinery or the next ship in the industrial chain.

Industrial details

Systems for a full mining shift

The MOLE uses its three mining heads to extract material, store it, and transfer it for refining.

01Longer mining shifts

Crew accommodation and a larger operating footprint support work farther from the nearest refinery or station.

MOLE
02Industrial visibility

The mining stations give operators direct views of the deposit and the movement of nearby equipment.

MOLE
03Crew-managed turnaround

Pods, mining heads, consumables, repairs, and the refinery route all need attention before the next claim.

04Surveying from the MOLE

Inside the MOLE, scanning helps the operator decide whether a deposit is worth committing the three mining heads and remaining capacity.
