In this video, Even Lee provides a thorough and positive review of the Greycat ROC mining vehicle in Star Citizen, highlighting its enjoyable gameplay, strong profit potential, and practical design features like good storage capacity and upgrade options.

In this video, Even Lee presents a detailed review of the Greycat ROC, a ground mining vehicle in Star Citizen designed for mining small hand rocks. The ROC is praised for its enjoyable gameplay experience, allowing players to make substantial in-game currency (UEC) while having fun driving it around. Even advises players to mine away from points of interest by about 30 to 40 km to avoid potential threats like pirates or hostile players, emphasizing the vehicle’s vulnerability during mining operations.
The Greycat ROC is priced at $55 in the pledge store or 103,950 UEC in-game, with a claim time of 3 minutes and 32 seconds, which can be expedited to just over a minute. The vehicle comes equipped with a size zero arbor MHV mining laser that can be upgraded, and it has two size one module points for further enhancements. However, it lacks shields and has 3,400 HP, making it susceptible to damage from combat ships, so players are advised to retreat quickly if threatened.
Even highlights the best mining targets for maximizing profits, mentioning that Geoy rocks yield the highest returns, with a single gem worth 19,000 UEC and a fully loaded ROC potentially earning 22 million UEC. Other valuable rocks include hadenite, phenmolene, aphrite, and janelite. The video explains the mining process, including scanning rocks, managing the laser power to stay within the green zone to avoid overcharging, and collecting the mined materials efficiently.
The video also showcases the ROC’s design and functionality, including its storage capacity of 1,200 micro SU and the ability to swap out mining bags for extended mining sessions. Even notes that despite mining over 40 rocks of expensive materials, the storage was only about three-quarters full, indicating good capacity. The vehicle can be transported using various larger ships like the Freelancer, Nomad, Cutlass, or Shiv, making it versatile and accessible for players with different setups.
Overall, the Greycat ROC receives a highly positive review, with Even giving it a perfect score for fulfilling its purpose effectively. It is described as a great investment for players with around 100,000 UEC, offering a relaxing and profitable mining experience. The vehicle’s performance is solid, with some minor bugs noted in past patches, but currently, it works well. Even concludes by thanking viewers and recommending Longship Industries for PC builds, tying in a personal endorsement.
