Notes:
Very recently, Cromforge released an updated version of the Harmattan Light Miner, with OPL
and T&P following suit soon after with their own updates. The result has been much rejoicing;
these ships are now far more competent in their roles. The Harmattan itself is a fairly mixed bag;
while it isn’t as prepared defensively as the Simurgh is, it is the best pure miner of the ships in its
class with a bullet. Four Financier-class mining lasers can render a medium-sized asteroid
unminable in two minutes with active mining used. Groups of Harmattans can clear clusers of
asteroids in under an hour, easily.
The ship is not often armed with anything beyond Financiers – it mounts a size 3 ECM, allowing it
to evade Conflux spawns. Some Quants arm themselves with a single Hitman or something
similar in case of careless Flux dumping, but many simply put the fourth Financier on so they can
be done faster. It is the fastest of the three Light Miners, so it can vacate an area faster than its
fellows.
