EMGC K-5 Advanced Mining Carriage

The Capn's back!
==============
Apologies to all my subscribers & followers for the deletion of my entire SE workshop a while ago.
You'll be glad to know I'm back in the saddle though, with a whole heap of quality new content for you.
I hope you enjoy it - and please be patient while I get it all published, as it's likely going to take a while.

Welcome to EMGC
===============
EMGC is the Enthusiastic Malleable Goods Condominium, a newly formed subsidiary of SAVTec Industries.
Named in honour of a certain Earth-based Software House, EMGC has but a single goal; to rebuild, rebalance & improve upon the ships of the KSH fleet, making them more practical, useful and fun in-game, while still retaining the original KSH style.

EMGC will eventually comprise 3 ranges of ships; the Respawn & Cargo ships, the Easy Start ships and the Campaign ships.

EMGC / SAVTec Build Mantra
=======================
100% vanilla
Survival, Exploration, Projector and 1st person friendly
Thruster Damage safe
No Scripts, Pistons or Rotors unless otherwise stated
Total ship-wide conveyor integration - always!

NB:
The K-5 Advanced Mining Carriage has 1 piston which is not essential to the build & can be removed if need be.

Where possible, all EMGC & SAVTec ships feature...
-Standardised air-tight docking rings with cargo transfer
-Pre-configured Button Panels & command station / cockpit hotbars
-Clean control panel with all items named, grouped & hidden where appropriate.
-All control panel items prefixed with the name of the ship for easy identification.
-Cameras forward & aft, docking cameras port & starboard, additional cameras as required.
-Standardised running / nav light patterns based on real-world maritime convention.

The K-5 Advanced Mining Carriage
===========================
The 5th ship in my EMGC range is one of my favourites, the Mining Carriage.

While you may remember some of my previous takes on the Mining Carriage (which will be making a come-back soon), with this one I've tried to stay true to the original purpose as a simple cargo barge.

The new Advanced Mining Carriage however is designed to feel more like a space truck and although getting Truckers Elbow would be the least of your worries if you leant out the window... it at least now has one!

I've rebalanced the thrust-to-cargo ratio, reducing overall carrying capacity to something more reasonable for the size; and increasing thrust dramatically on all axes.

The new ship now has small forward thrusters for manouvering, with the large ones being reserved as boosters.

The small reactors have been exchanged for a single large one and augmented with 2 batteries for emergency backup.

The biggest change is to the forward section, which is now a spacious, pressurised walk-through cockpit & cryo / cargo cabin that doubles as an airlock.

She features...
-Cryo & command seating for 2
-Direct internal access to cargo & reactor
-Handy button panels for quick access to important functions

The 2 Large Cargo Containers can also now be removed without breaking the ship apart. This is handy if say, you want to transport something other than cargo - a refinery or assembly plant for example.

Feedback
========
Comments / questions / suggestions / constructive criticism all very welcome.
I've even been known to do the odd request-build from time to time, so if you have an idea, drop me a line. If I like it I may build it.
