Mobile Mining Guide for answer.
This also may be useful to you (exact names of mining ships).
By Bunny:
"The word miner simply indicates that the ship has an ore collector, special commands software and mineral scanner pre-installed. "
So, you can buy any TS ship with neccesary software and equipment to mine rocks.
"The Vulture will install the mining laser. Also I believe the Caiman-if you're lucky, the Caiman may even be able to mount it as a frontal weapon, making the process of mining less agonisingly slow and frustrating.

"family pride shipyard sells caiman miner"
" The Paranid also sell minner's. P.Prime. "
The following ships can use this laser (Argonopedia):
"Mammoth (TL)
Orca (TL)
Hercules (TL)
Demeter (TS)
Elephant (TL)
Caiman (TS)
Albatross (TL)
Vulture (TS)"
The 1.4.02 update for X³:
"M6 class ships can install the Mobile Drilling System (suitable for mobile mining!)."
Note that the mining laser is only required if you're breaking up the giant asteroids that show up on the sector map. All other rocks can be broken up by normal lasers, all the way from Alpha IRE's to Gamma PPC's. The smaller the laser the better, since you get less waste that way. My favorite is the Alpha Kyon Emitter, but you need a special ship for that. My second fav is the Concussion Impulse Generator, due to its long range. But it's all personal preference.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
