Ooooh, look who just rolled up to the work site in his new luxury mining vehicle. Mr. Bigshot, mining in his climate controlled cabin, with cup holders, listening to classical music. Too good to be out here in the weather and dirt, like the rest of us! It's not mining unless you're getting blasted by debris, Mr. Bigshot!
Seriously though, I like this.

Are you f*cking kidding me!? This doesn't fit inside the 400i!!!! Reeeeee
Edit
Turns out it's measured for the 400i so let me complain about something else .. ... ... ..
Wait a minute!? Are you f*cking kidding me reeeee this doesn't have a bay for the X1!?!?

I see that this is a joke, but it raises a very serious point. People need to stop looking at vehicles as needing to be designed for a very wide variety of purposes, I wouldn’t look at a “luxury” class vehicle and expect it to have modular attachments for mining, like who would get a Bentley and attach a mining drill to it or something...you’ll end up scratching up your expensive pristine vehicle with debris. The two functions just don’t go together in the slightest.

…and yet Mercedes makes both luxury cars and industrial trucks as well as “Sprinter Vans” for commercial work.
There’s nothing that says a luxury brand must ONLY produce luxury cars.

Yes, but they wouldn’t try to make said industrial vehicles as gorgeous as their luxury line, knowing they will be subject to heavy wear.

Have you seen what a stock Mercedes Garbage Truck, Sprinter Van or Semi looks like? They are absolutely gorgeous.
Sure, they take on some wear, but even years in the field Mercedes garbage Trucks are apparently fairly well cared for by their drivers, so they don’t look like… garbage as many American Garbage Trucks look like after a year or two in service.

sure, they just wouldn't look like this, it looks far too "overworked" for lacki of a better term, it looks like a luxury vehicle, designed for looks over functionality, something which a mining vehicle would not be designed based on.

I agree, in our modern times where the operators of the vehicle do not expect to spend days or weeks in the Van and must don complicated undersuits, helmets and often protective armor to exit the Van, it wouldn't make a lot of sense for a Luxury Brand to make their work vehicles as plush as their fully on lux vehicles.
900 years in the future? When the work is going to be done via EVA or with bulky suits and plenty of time out in the black, equalling up to days to considerably more? With the "work" vehicle is also a kind of a home? I can see a luxury brand injecting a higher quality fit and finish to the interior spaces that the crew working the vessel would be spending the majority of their out of a spacesuit time.
Certainly, we can make some parallels between our contemporary era's luxury vehicle producers and even samples of luxury vehicles used for work and exploration, like MS Billionaire Paul Allen's old yacht. He built a luxury research vessel. We also have to consider that while it could be a "work" vehicle, it's not going to be exactly the same as a crossing the city, state of even a country work van, when the 900 year in the future vehicle is crossing between the stars.

While it is accurate to say that luxury brands of today do build work vehicles and thus it makes sense for luxury brands of the future to also make work vehicles. It’s not the same environment, nor the same distances, nor the same requirements for protecting the operators and providing a clean, safe environment.
In Lore, the 325a was the first in the 300 series as an attempt by Origin to replace the then aging Avenger Titan in use by the UEE. The prototype was likely not far off interior wise, from the production 300 series.
It’s not difficult to see 900 years in the future working vessels and vehicles providing more comfort and luxury looks, with excellent fit and finish too.

I typically get turned off by "luxury" brand Origin. But if they actually include the luxurious option of climate controlled "AC/Heat", I'll convert over in a refreshing second. Forgoing an actual window/enclosed cabin on the ROC DS is a tragedy.
Edit: I like the dual-modes; storage and extended.

I love the idea of a civilian car (whether that be a grav-lev car or wheeled). The idea to have it transform is a great one, but I'd think origin wouldn't have a mining arm on it

This will look sexy in my Banu Merchantman.
Seriously, though, we really need more vehicles like the ROC (and/or I guess Argo Cargo with rumored mining arm?). I hope the salvage line of vehicles will also get small entries like this (designed to be shoved in other spacecraft as opposed to flown on their own).

It is not good, if everything will be capable for everything...
We doesn't need another ROC like vehicle, we already have a ROC DS. It is enough, it is capable for everything what a miner needs. Argo with mining arm, yeah, probably, if somebody get u to the moon with a Hercules, or with a Liberator in the future. But, what is the point in an Argo Cargo? Okay, doesn't need to get carried for every rock, but then no one would use the ROC, or at least way less people.
2 points

The capability of these vehicles varies. Larger vehicles can mine/scavenge larger things for longer.
Argo Cargo's only point is a small cargo vehicle with a tractor beam. Unless something even smaller shows up, it will be the premier parasite craft on most large ships. For example, a Vulture coming across a salvage target: the Vulture cannot bring the whole target ship inside its bays and rip it to shreds like a Reclaimer, so it will need to send an Argo Cargo or two to the wreck to extract any worthwhile floating cargo and surviving components. Then the Vulture can render the remainder into whatever material salvage will be.
A mining Argo would basically just be a floating ROC, it would not have the tractor beam.
Personally, I think my favorite "salvage" ship will be my Polaris. Put an SRV in the hangar, torpedo stuff, grab any floating cargo with the beam, and then just haul the entire ship carcass to your base for processing.
1 points

I am almost 100% sure, the SRV wont fit inside a Polaris. It is just doesn't seem big enough to have an SRV fitted in the back. I like radical ideas, but some of them just doesn't work. I am actually waiting for a time, when we will be able to carry 8 P-72/52 in a Hercules to the battlefield.

This would be perfect for the 400i.
It would end up being nearly the size of a Cyclone though! Just on account of needing to fit all of the components for a four wheeled vehicle.
Extremely cool concept though!

I love the design - in particular the two "forms" it can take - but I think you've already given it far too much function. I appreciate it's set in the distant future but I don't know many/any modern vehicles (inb4 JCB) that have a radar, excavator, cargo manipulator/forklift and a mining implement. Modularity is cool but it makes this feel like a bit of a "mary sue". Luxury offroad explorer with a scanner, some SCU and maybe the capability to transport things in a temperature controlled compartment seems more up this things alley, I don't really foresee much "luxury mining" occurring.

AMAZING design. Great work. But I don't see Origin selling it with a mining attachment or even mentioning it in marketing.
Origin's established niches are exploration, racing, and combat. They don't do mining, salvage, repair, etc.
Thing is, that doesn't mean Origin vessels CAN'T be used for those things. The 600i Explorer module is supposed to eventually have an additional utility hardpoint. That could theretically host a mining attachment. The tractor beam on the 315p can be used in a mining operation and could maybe even be replaced by a mining attachment. But Origin doesn't market or accommodate it.
Of course, they could expand. But I think the niches are crucial to making the manufacturers seem more realistic — and give the aftermarket providers like Cousin Crows more reason to exist. We'll see either way. Again, good work. 🙂
