Star Citizen Prospector

The MISC Prospector is the standard entry point to ship mining in Star Citizen: a single-seat mining vessel built to prospect and crack mineral-rich rocks.

What it is

A solo mining ship with a mining laser and storage for extracted ore, the Prospector is how most players get into the mining loop properly. It is approachable and a steady earner. How mining works.

Who it is for

Players who enjoy the calm, methodical mining loop and want to do it solo. It is an early-goal ship you can earn in-game without spending much.

Plan the whole mining cycle

Mining income depends on more than extracting ore. Think about rock selection, equipment, refining and transport to sale. A solo mining hull suits someone who wants that workflow; it is not an automatic upgrade for a player who mainly accepts combat contracts.

Mining steps. These are buying considerations based on intended roles, not measured flight-test results.
