The '''ROC-DS (Remote Ore Collector Dual Seat)''' is a dual-seat mining vehicle produced by [[StarCitizen:Greycat Industrial]]. Equipped with a more robust custom mining head, it is particularly suited for tasks that exceed initial expectations. The vehicle features a manually operated mining arm capable of accessing challenging deposits, thereby reducing operational difficulties. Additionally, it offers over four times the ore-storage capacity compared to the standard model, enhancing profitability.<ref name="presentation">{{Cite RSI|ref=yes|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18059-Greycat-Industrial-ROC-DS|text=ROC-DS Comm-Link - Mine Smarter!}}</ref><br />

==Features==<br />
<br />
{{List item<br />
|Larger Cargo Bay<br />
|The DS possesses over four times the mineral storage capacity of the conventional [[StarCitizen:ROC]] with a total of 3.4 SCU, coupled with the capability to manually load both compartments or utilize the mining rig for this purpose. This enhanced functionality allows for a substantial decrease in the time and labor required for extensive excavation operations.<br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Manual Mining Arm<br />
|The vehicle is equipped with a manually operated mining arm that enables rapid and efficient completion of various tasks. It boasts a custom, locally-controlled mining laser that offers enhanced range and power. Additionally, the remarkable adaptability of the rig's boom arm allows for excavation in previously inaccessible locations.<br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Integrated Extraction Beam<br />
|Efficiently gather ore from the secure environment of the mining turret and immediately transfer it to the onboard storage using the fully integrated tractor beam, which features a superior collection radius.<br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Enclosed Cabin<br />
|The ROC-DS is well-equipped to handle extensive excavation tasks and challenging environmental conditions. Its design prioritizes optimal visibility and safety, featuring a fully enclosed cab that ensures the operator maintains comprehensive control over all operations.<br />

Controversial=<br />
The ROC-DS is quite a controversial design according to official media (and player reception). People dislike that it requires a second user to operate the mining laser and another one to drive. Thus resulting in half the efficiency of operating 2 individual [[StarCitizen:ROC]]. The second seat also lacks climate control which is cited as an issue by some. [[StarCitizen:Gale Kessler]] in [[StarCitizen:Talkin' Shop]] is quoted saying "The [[StarCitizen:Polaris]] is too pointy! The ROC-DS is ''shi-''". <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmFMuQrp6yQ Star Citizen | Talkin' Shop: IAE 2955 - Roberts Space Industries], Star Citizen, Youtube, 20 november 2025</ref><br />
<blockquote>""Ah, the [[StarCitizen:ROC]] is a solid chassis. So what if the DS is a little, er, challenging?" - [[StarCitizen:Gale Kessler]] in [[StarCitizen:Talkin' Shop]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzbqlCLNJZw Star Citizen | Talkin’ Shop IAE 2955 - Greycat Industrial & Everything In-Between], Star Citizen, Youtube, 26 november 2025</ref></blockquote><br />
