Goliath class asteroid miner

Has anyone found, researched, or heard how much ore can be gathered on one of the mining ships from the dimension books 6 3 galaxies?

The only reference point I've found is the argon gas miner that says 1-4 months to fill up. With the high purchase cost and large crew requirement, either stuff must sell for a tremendous amount per ton or it makes trips rather often. I don't recall seeing any sales prices either.

Secondly, what other mining vessels have you found other than asteroid eaters?

Got two home-made asteroid miners of my own...other than that...don't know of any.
Might be able to construct one using the Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide.

Rifts Manhunter's tantalizing, but scant, spaceship construction tables offers a 'refinery' for 15 construction spaces and 100,000 credits, but offers no other details on capacity/processing rates for various materials.
