Reasonable plan, simple and all that ...
likes: simple conversion for a prospector variant
noted that the electronics section and turret controls were down-graded prior to resale
quibble: grav-buggy effectiveness depending on who's TU your in may not be viable for asteroid operations as there's insufficient gravity for it to work against - if that's YTU then substitute some simple design for it... nice

Type J Seeker
The Type J Seeker is based on the Type S Scout Courier. The power plant, jump drive, and HEPlaR maneuver drives are retained. The flight deck is modified by removal of a workstation and downgrading the sensor and communications suites. A dedicated engineering workstation is in the main engineering compartment. The hard point has a laser turret added, which is slaved to the flight deck work stations. There is no fire control other than a beam pointer integral to the turret. The crew quarters are modified by removal of the staterooms and replacement with 2 small staterooms. The major modification is removal of the main crew lounge and replacement with two 10-ton cargo bays with large bay doors. The top deck forward 3-ton cargo section is retained for mining supplies or incidental cargos. The top deck aft storage is now a small crew lounge with food preparation area. A small shipââ¬â¢s locker is retained immediately adjacent to the main airlock. Last,
the Air/raft is replaced by a grav buggy for use in asteroid exploration/ prospecting.

Cargo: 322 m3, two large cargo hatches, one small cargo hatch.
Small Craft and Launch Facilities: Grav Buggy x 1, (Minimal Hangar), one launch port.
Air Locks: 1 (0.001MW)
Notes: Fuel purification plant (1.05 MW) to refine 508.558 m3 fuel (36.3 tons) in 14.50 hours. The power shortfall means that the contragrav lifters or the radio may not be powered while the turret is in operation or some other combination. The life support system of the older Type S is retained which is prone to the same issues. Most crews bring at least one extra set of CO2 scrubbers when maneuvering into deep orbit. Normal practice is two crew performing two crew roles each, such as pilot/sensor ops and engineer/gunner effectively doubles the operational range of the Type J Seeker.
