Prospector

Prospector is the title given to those that brave going down to the planet's surface. Initially a legal requirement for anyone putting their life at risk to mine for valuable minerals, it's now a common moniker for the "heroes" that keep the station alive.

Prospector also serves as the title given to all players in The Cycle: Frontier. On this wiki, it refers either to the player reading the wiki (singular), or to players in the game (plural).

Lore

While the first Prospectors had a life expectancy of fewer than a dozen jumps, technological advancements, courtesy of Osiris, have allowed for most Prospectors to survive lethal encounters thanks to the installation of emergency safety foam as a standard in all prospectors' suits.

Stats

This table lists stats the prospector has in the game. This is used to determine how the character acts in certain situations. If the stat can be altered by some mechanic in the game, it is listed as well.

Statistic	Value	Altered by
Maximum health	100	Altered Gear
Maximum stamina	100	Tactical Armor, Altered Gear
Base armor	0	Armor, Altered Gear
Armor scaling value	0.03
Walking Speed	357	Altered Gear
Sprint speed multiplier	1.91
Health regeneration	0	Restoration Armor, Altered Gear

Stamina Regenration is 10 per second during the first 0.9 seconds afterwards it goes up to 40 Stamina the second. Spriniting using consumables or anything similar will stop Stamina regenration.

Hitbox

The prospector has a hitbox, which determines if a shot or creature attack hits. All prospectors have the same hitbox, regardless of Archetype. Some archetypes might have parts of it visually sticking out of this hitbox, but they do not count as part of the hitbox.
