Pistons and sticky pistons, slay? That would require a very picky Redstone bug. And it would still need frames. Frames are the only reliable way. Actually, the only way.
Frames need blutricity, which can only be produced by Red Power's thermopiles, solar panels and kinetic generators.
The industry standard way of providing power to frameships is to have an enderchest full of BT batteries that are automatically charged at mission control and automatically discharged into the battery boxes on the frameship.
You can also put solar panels on top of a frameship, but it won't generate much power. It is better to have the Red Power solar field on the ground.
How do you power your quarry when your ship reaches the target area? The most portable and efficient way is a liquid tesseract and powerconverters. Feed your most abundant energy source (probably EU) into a HV consumer > energy bridge > steam producer > liquid tesseract. On the other end, tesseract > steam consumer > energy bridge > MJ producer. Complicated, but lossless.

Ok, my reccomendation for mobile mining ship:
Power. As has been stated, you could use a centralised power system, transmitting the charged cells/batteries across. Or anything that runs on a frame ship (nukes, geos, fuel systems, anything of that kind).
Navigation. Really, you're not going to do this precisely without computers, and CC has the GPS system inbuilt (you can set up an auto-deployer to set up the GPS when it needs to).
Collisions. With something that unwieldy, you really need to move through, rather than over. You could set up a turtle to clear the way, or block breakers. I do remember a previous version of MFFS had an attachment to clear blocks that would be taken by fields. This, toggled every cycle would do the job.
