StarCitizen:ROC-DS

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">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Controversial=

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>Star Citizen | Talkin' Shop: IAE 2955 - Roberts Space Industries, Star Citizen, Youtube, 20 november 2025</ref>
