It’s a classic mining cruiser setup. Some mining lasers, some mining drones, and one gun for dealing with rats. Maybe a little bit of tank, almost never any propulsion or tackle.
It’s a BAD fit for shooting at the “stupid fuck in the industrial that just took my ore”, but they never can seem to to resist the temptation. This guy did better than most, he had a few meters per second of speed on me and he was getting out close to the edge of my point range before he popped:

I’ve had the same experience whenever I go out in my Battle Itty. Something about Industrial ships just screams victim to the type of people who mine in cruisers.
