In-game Description

More established miners generally opt for the Medium Mining Drill, which is also available in Mk 1 and Mk 2 configurations.
Boron description:
For primary resource collectors, the Mk 1 Small Mining Drill is an entry-level tool used for asteroid mining.
More established miners generally opt for the Medium Mining Drill, designed, field-tested and distributed by Deepwater Drilling Industries.
Xenon description:
This ship module is apparently a Xenon Mining Drill, however, it is unclear what performance it delivers and whether it is optimised for the collection of specific minerals. There is continued debate over whether this module has other applicable uses.
Tactical Overview
The Mining Drill is a tool for mining, making it a naturally poor choice for combat. It deals minimal damage to non-asteroid targets.
The most dangerous thing is that it blinds players when they get shot by them.
