Modified Plasma Miner Mark 3
While on Earth mining is seen as one of the least technologically advanced, dirtiest jobs, space mining has evolved into one of the most prestigious. Mining ME suits are almost exclusively produced by the Lunar Mining Corp. Being able to trace its history back to the early days of space exploration, the corp utilizes a combination of plasma and laser cutters to break down high-density rock and specialized debris shields to protect the suit from steam explosions of ice pockets.
Even so, space mining is extremely dangerous for the untrained. Miners have to go through years of ME suit training and pass several exams.
