Atmospheric Drill Ship

A small Drill Ship without armor for Planets, meant to be one of the first ships in (realistic) survival.
It comes with an airtight cockpit, a small oxygen generator, oxygen+hydrogen tank and a large cargo container.

Please let me know your thoughts about this ship once you had the chance to test it!
For a simpler, vanilla version, see my other creation: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=599411629


It's capable of lifting 50,000kg load (+72,000kg own mass) at 1.10g (Alien Planet), even nose down.
When fully charged, the batteries last for at least 30 minutes under full load and acceleration.

It's thin design allows for digging tunnels without moving sideways. The drills will create a hole big enough to fit the ship!

It's got small thrusters in all directions to provide great maneuverability while mining.
The four gyroscopes allow for fast rotations, even under load.


Some mods have been used to build this ship:

Also, Automatic LCDs 2 is used in a programmable block for the info displays in the cockpit.

1: Select drills tool
2: Rear Camera (View)
3: Toggle Door (Open/Closed)
4: Toggle Vent (Pressurize/Depressurize)
5: Toggle battery recharge on/off. Caution!: On means that batteries will NOT supply any power. Useful to save power when parked and recharge while docked to another ship/station.
7: Docking Camera (View)
8: Timer Block (ON): This turns on thrusters, displays, and everything else
9: Timer Block (OFF): This turns off thrusters, displays, and other things.

Always stay straight to the planets gravety. Only the big thrusters are capable of lifting the ship. Nose down is safe - sideways is not.
If you fall over, there's no way to get back up (without external help).
You might have some luck to recover if you land on the side - but chances are very low and you most certainly will rip some parts off, if not crash the ship completely.
