The [[StarCitizen:Greycat Industrial]] '''Cydnus''' is a bug-shaped industrial mining vehicle. In an early preview it was called a 'mining drone',<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/13610-Monthly-Report-February-2014|text=Monthly Report: February 2014}}</ref> however the Cydnus can support 2 crewmembers and has a cockpit. Given its uncertain autonomy, it is likely to require crew but may be capable of limited automated operation.<br />
