The Dwayne is one of the older classes of ships commonly seen on the Frontier, and one of the few such classes that doesn’t also carry a reputation for nightmarish conditions or high accident rates. Originally conceived of as a “mothership” for Nanotrasen mining shuttles that could enable long-duration mining missions at minimal cost, severe budget overruns and issues with the mining shuttle docking system left Nanotrasen with a massive number of mostly-completed hulls upon the project’s cancellation. These hulls were then quickly refurbished and sold on the civilian market, where they proved an immediate success on the Frontier. Contemporary Dwaynes can typically be found carrying a variety of mining equipment and extensive modifications unique to their captains.

Introduction
The Mk. II Dwayne is a reliable ship designed for mining and cargo delivery. It comes with two spacious hangars that give it a lot of storage space - or room for potential renovations! - and equipment that allows them to mine efficiently from the get-go.
List of standard equipment and features:
- A solar panel setup for generating power.
- Two hangars - one meant for mining equipment storage, and another for general storage. Starboard one can also be easily renovated, if need be.
- A functional smelter setup.
- Three Flaming Arrow rifles and a Detective special revolver - enough weaponry to arm majority of the crew roundstart.
- A large amount of mining gear, including handheld drills, scanners, EVA suits and more.
- An adorable western pet - Frank the turtle!
Gameplay
- Mining - Dwayne's intended purpose is mining. You'll do it either directly with handheld drills or by investing in a stationary drill. You can also take drilling jobs from the outpost for some bonus cash. As of right now however, ore holds mostly roleplay value, as it's not used for much outside of fuel.
- Cargo - Dwayne has plenty of storage space. This lets you get a little wild with organization of ruin loot and other gear, or maybe even make an entire gimmick around performing cargo work!
- Construction - That storage space can also be easily renovated, if not used for cargo. You can put anything you want there!
