The Excavator is one of the first ships in the game to feature no weaponry at all and have a requirement being a Space Station. It is ill-suited for combat and cannot fend off against enemies attacking it. Its main role is for excavating asteroids as its name implies. Allowing for asteroid mining to be possible; it has a mining laser that will check if it has hit an asteroid and will slowly begin to mine the asteroid. When the process is complete, the asteroid will usually explode into smaller pieces, and thus creating a cool effect with it. To fully transfer Ru to your team, you must land inside of a refinery which can be built on a station, then land inside of the refinery hanger and wait for the message to appear, prompting if you want to deposit the Ru. The ship nearly has the same stats as the Light Corvette.
