I found that when attacked the warp drive on the original BP was constantly being blown up through the windows, and was leaving me stranded in deep space.

This version has an additional rear end extension attached to it made of heavier armored blocks than the rest of the ship and a Hull Shield was added which allows for escape from pirates or other trouble without losing your warp drive.
Internally it is also protected by a wall of armored glass and an armored door to keep you away from radiation.
Some aesthetic changes were made to the back end once this extension was finished.

I also added a landing pad on the roof large enough to fit a small fighter or another small ship of some kind (I currently have a stinger sitting on my roof deck) and an elevator to access the roof in the bridge. Due to the placement of retractable roof turrets the placement of the lift was very limited but is functional.

I also added some quality of life modules, such as O2 station, Med Station and an Armor Locker for those unexpected EVA's while salvaging.

The original design was extremely efficient at mining, capable of stripping an asteroid in about 30 seconds flat. It is a fantastic miner and all credit goes to the original designer I have simply made upgrades which included moving the interior equipment layout and providing an extension on the back and the addition of some thrusters to deal with the modified shape.

This ship is an amazing miner capable of deep space travel with a range of about 300 AU in the warp tank.
Very agile both in space and in atmosphere. Small amount of yaw agility was lost in the upgrade but the ship still handles very well. Roll control is probably a little too agile (IMO)
Has a large multi turret for salvaging space wrecks.

I may at some point upgrade all the blocks to combat steel but I feel that the shield provides you enough time to destroy lighter ships, or get away from other engagements that you can not win.
