The Shard was never designed as a mining vessel. It was a combat drone — autonomous, disposable, built to absorb fire while delivering ordnance. When the Crimson Fleet needed a starter ship, their engineers did what Crimson engineers always do: they added a mining laser to the utility hardpoint and called it done. The weapon slots are original equipment, untouched. The armor plating no one bothered to remove is a bonus. Crimson pilots wouldn't have it any other way — a ship that mines and fights simultaneously isn't a compromise, it's a statement of values.
