The borer mine ship (scBorer) has no drive images. The Borer II (scBorer-II) does have drive images.

It appears that the DriveImages tag is missing from the definition in OutlawMiners.xml

You are correct and it was probably intentional. the amount and details of ships can effect the CPU , it would be logical to pull things off lower class ships to give the higher ones more room in the game.

I often pull trails off rockets and downgrade explosions to give things more "cpu room" for combat or to let me open up the drive on a Ronin ( yes they have actual drives, makes them look very Hippie-ish )

I believe alot of details we find " missing" were edits regarding the playability of the game, especially on beat up units like mine , so we can enjoy the game just as easy as the player with the latest beer cooled injection molded cpu with automated Get My Lunch built into the over head display.

well, i think shanejfilomena answered this pretty well, (kudos to you :D ) and the Borer II is newer than the Borer so that might be intentional being that they could have upgraded the engines etc,

I think this is a bug/oversight on my part. I don't remember doing this intentionally (though it's probably been six or seven years since I touched the Borer class).

Thanks for mentioning it!
