Description
WHI - M2 Mining Drone

The M2 is a cheaper option to the M3 and a more effective miner than the M1. Its one large cargo container gives it a fair amount of storage for ore and the 2 tightly fitted drills gives good accuracy when mining specific ores. Should any stone be picked up the 6 small ejectors should take care of any unwanted materials. The compact design does leave less room for resisting or absorbing impact damage so any drone operator should keep that in mind while maneuvering through tight spaces as a broken thruster or container could cause a lot of issues.

Note: LCD's require scripts to be enabled in the world setting or they will not work.

For some reason I can't take controls and remote control the drone ship. Any ideas as to why? (Got antennas etc. running)

you said this is a drone? As in it can be controlled remotely?

@FunkyBacon Thanks, i will try that! Great blueprint! :D

Oh, and remember to add any new thrusters or gyros to the "Systems" group.

90% you say? Yeah it is possible there aren't enough oxygen to stay up on a planet like that, or the gravity is too high. It is built to almost max out power on the earth planet when using all 3 directions of travel (up, forward, left/right). If there is still juice left in the batteries on your planet then you could try squeezing in another thruster or two and see if that helps.

@FunkyBacon Yeah, 90%.. I dont know if its to few thursters, but i like the design very much :)

What script do the LCDs use?
You should name & link it

@convenient
That's strange. it have worked fine in all the tests I made. You are spawning it on an oxygen-rich planet right?
