EMGC K-7 Advanced Mining Hauler

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!

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.

NB: Because the K-7 has so many features, I've not bothered to prefix everything with the ships name in control panel , nor have I pre-configured any of the control station hotbars - I may do this stuff later when I have a lot of spare time but for now the control panel is at least nice & tidy.

The K-7 Advanced Mining Hauler
==========================
A very special treat for you today. My finest redesign of a KSH ship to date, the K-7 Advanced Mining Hauler. The 7th in my EMGC Cargo Ships range.

The original KSH Mining Hauler, like all the Cargo Ships, suffered from the problem of trying to be too many things at once. For the most part it was a cargo freighter... but cargo freighters don't carry refineries... and surely only military craft have missile launchers, right?!
That and the interior was so busy as to give you a real headache trying to find your way around - and again, it didn't have any windows!

With the new advanced version I've rectified all these things.

The K-7 rebrands the Mining Hauler as a "Heavy Extraction Site Support Vessel".
In other words, it's a mobile refining station and no longer intended to actually transport any cargo.

While it *can* be used as a transport vessel, it's main & most valuable function is to fly to a mining site and sit there being serviced by other ships.

The K-7 crews 6 or more with cryo for up to 6 and "day bunks" for up to 4. It has so many features I can't fit them all into this description, so will post them separately in the discussions pages.

Coming soon / To-do: Add a micro shuttle to the blueprint. Yes, in addition to its main large hangar, the K-7 also has a tiny secondary hangar for a tiny shuttlecraft. You'll love it! I have a shuttle in mind for the job - just have to alter it a bit first.

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.
