SHIP FEATURES:
100 slots
Crew compartments: 4 private rooms, 3 doubles (10 pts)

WEAPONS: 12 pts. (a couple internal systems as well)

Shuttle: size 3 (27 slots) 30 pts.
Archeo-storage chamber 10 slots (20 pts.)
Extra Armor (K-tech): 3 slots, 10D6 (20 pts)
Large mining rig: 40 slots (25 pts)
External shuttle mount: 3 pts.
EMP Shielding: 3 tech dice (1 slot, 9 pts)
Fuel storage: 9 slots
Cargo: 27 slots
Pts: 303/303
Slots: 100/100 The one big problem you've got is that you don't have any cargo slots in which to store what you mine...if you brought the shuttle down to size 2, you'd free up 19 slots for storage, which would be 133 tons worth of stuff...not a ton, but given that the large mining rig can process stuff in situ to the finished product, this actually translates to quite a bit of material. Actually, wait, my mistake...shuttle doesn't count cause it's externally mounted, good point matt.
