The Keelback has one role it shines in; as a [[Miner]]. With its two medium hardpoints, large cargo space, fighter bay for protection and smaller size the Keelback is one of the best ships available for the job and is by far the cheapest ship that is extremely effective in the role. Due to its small size, many rich pilots can still make good use of the ship for its impressive mining potential.

Overall the Keelback is a multi-purpose ship, capable of exploration, combat and trading while excelling at mining. Compared to the [[Asp Explorer]] it has ~~much~~ worse capabilities in ~~most~~ departments~~, however~~, its ~~better cargo capacity and Mining ability~~ can make it a more desirable ship

Overall the Keelback is a multi-purpose ship, capable of exploration, combat and trading while excelling at mining. Compared to the [[Asp Explorer]] it has worse capabilities in all departments: ~40LY vs ~55LY jump range (engineered); similar hardpoints but can have a fighter bay; max 88T vs 120T cargo (shielded); 6 slots vs 7 optional slots + larger power distributor make the Asp the better miner. However, its abilities at significantly lower cost once equipped can make it a more desirable or accessible ship.

Two medium hardpoints are located on top of the ship, very close to the cockpit, and two small hardpoints are located on the bottom of the ship a bit further back than the medium hardpoints. One of three utility mounts is located on the nose of the ship directly above the frontal landing gear piece, and two more on top and at the back. The interior is identical to that of the Type-6, however, it has a second seat situated behind the pilot and is capable of [[Multicrew]]. The ship also has unique rotating engine pods on each side that fill in the black gaps that were present on the T6. These are purely cosmetic, however.
