I'm not sure exactly about this, I'm leery of produce-everything modifications.
But it looks like a start. I like the prospector, except that the hull for that would become a common pocket carrier/sat tender, because of the very low manitinece cost.
Perhaps just keep the mining components as is, but reduce them in size to 70, would have the biggest effect, because that would allow mining sattelites to be construced, layed, and forgotten.
Also, if depletion is off and you want to do remote mining, don't do ships, do bases which are built in place, the 1/2 maintenence makes them worthwhile.
