Retriever Mk 5 - Heavy Miner

With low gravity and moon mining capabilities in mind, the Mark 5 of the Retriever series is born--a semi-hybrid space miner designed to be much more responsive either on low, or no gravity environments, even at full cargo capacity with it's long lasting H2 thrusters active, moreover, it's capable of landing or escaping even 1.20G planets easily, with a vast amount of H2 fuel remaning if the usage is controlled. It's worth noting that the Mk 5 is not an atmospheric miner, so landing on planets should be done with no more than 15% of it's cargo capacity for 1G planets, 10% for 1.20G.

Aside from engine upgrades, the power grid is also improved, it can run exclusively on batteries for a period of time, and comes equipped with H2 engines to slowly but steadily recharge the batteries if no uranium is to be found.

Lastly, the deep mining capability is kept, allowing the Mk 5 to dig in an uniform and clean way without hitting rough edges, mining an asteroid end to end if so desired. Cameras help with reversing out of the mining area, ejecting ores into the collectors or docking to a connector port.
