![]() ![]() ![]() In 2923 the ship would finally be named "The Prospector" and would see extending time in jump tunnel situations and live testing. Over the course of the next eight years, MISC-HI teams would work on developing a hull for the ship, while a second team would develop a miniaturized mining array that could be stored within the ship's fuselage. "The Miner" would have four prototype designs, the A-1, A-2, A-3, and finally the B-1. Twenty-six test flights later, the team had a large enough success that their program was allowed to continue. The first prototype as an unsightly and ungainly beast, and pushed the boundaries of the teams budget. By 2914 two conversion attempts had failed. However, with little anticipated need for small scale mining ships, "The Miner" was an unlikely candidate to be adopted by MISC. The Prospector would go on to be the third ship project of the Cold Boot team, and in early phases was dubbed "The Miner." With that aim in mind, MISC wrote off nine Freelancers which were utilized by the Cold Boot team to develop as they saw fit. With their success in survey and fire suppression, MISC was looking to expand the use of its chassis. MISC began developing the Prospector in 2910 as an extension of the Freelancer project.
