The Ridgeback is the answer to small gang / org level asteroid mining operations, with large storage capacity and extreme thrust to weight ratio, even when loaded.
Fitted with an L shield generator and armoured command centre, this ship offers survivability and defences against those that would see free mining perish. The BP offered fits the ship with gunnery seats and ammo storage, but not weapons, giving you the freedom to choose your weapons system to suit your particular crews talents.

Whilst atmos capable, the Ridgeback is designed only to fly its own weight into space - but able to return fully laden, with atmos brakes rated for 5kT and the AGG unit as primary lift.
All stats are given with no placement and day 1 pilot talents - stats will only improve with talent training.
