Our engineers took out 90% of the great features of the KSV-1300 series to slash costs to a price a recent space academy grad like yourself can afford and have just enough leftover to buy a faction block to stake your claim.
Standard hull armor has been replaced with an aluminum and cardboard laminate that is guaranteed to absorb several direct hits from a standard issue laser pistol. Although enough shielding has been left to protect from stray micrometeoroids (very micro ones) all weapon and countermeasure systems have been removed.
Notable remaining features:
27x10 Salvage array provides for robust mining capability.
Roomy (10 module) cascaded linked storage system. Requiring only regular interaction with 2 storage units.
Jumpdrive.
You can have any color as long as it's grey.
The KDY KSV-1000, it's not the miner of your dreams; it's the one you can afford.
