Red Delta Mining HV

Description
This is intended as an upgrade/replacement/improvement over the old Drill Sergeant. It is more expensive than Drill Sergeant but still not extravagant as the Katydid. The wider hover base and larger overall size gives it much more stability.

Features:
- O2 tank and a dispenser accessible from underneath
- Minigun mount and turret to protect you from pesky drones
- Spotlights and lights help you see better at night
- Docking Pads on top allow you to dock underneath your CV
- Lots of RCS to help you maintain solid control while digging
- Lots of retro thrust to help you back out of the hole you just dug
- Spread out drills help you cut a clean tunnel or bowl to get quickly to ores

I highly recommend upgrading to the laser drills as soon as you're able to, they make a huge difference. I do not include them in this blueprint because those are level 20 and I wanted this HV to be available much earlier in the game.

Yikes, should have known since this was built quite a while ago, but not A12 compliant. Almost 2x max CPU.

@LadySession, you may have already figure it out (probably considering this is an older thread), but there's no need to add wood or stone dust for this particular blueprint. I'm guessing you had some leftover of those 2 items from a previous build. That's gotten me before :)

Sorry, maybe im doing something wrong. It wont let me put in the wood and stone dust to complete the BP. Anyone know why?

Ziron, go to the modding page of Kirble Space Program to learn about intelectual/creative rights associated with creating something within a game. You won't be so condescending once you educate yourself. Those guys are very serious about protecting thier creations.

ok thank you :)

Yep, the acceleration and turning rates are a function of mass, so adding mass will reduce those numbers.

I am so loving this Miner. One question if I upgrade the hull to combat steel for HV does that affect the thrust and manuvrability ?

Loved the drill sergeant, giving this a shot.

I've been messing around with this vessel in Creative, and it is a joy to mine and maneuver. I cannot design mining HVs to save my life, so I love learning how to do it better, hah! The resource cost and unlock level is insanely low as well. Very nice work and thanks for sharing this, Lift
