XM-1060

HV miner for Alpha 10.6 experimental or later.
Level 10
Single Big Drill type.

CPU Tier 1 (just a standard core) - 6,431cpu used / 97.8% efficiency.
[remove constructor if you need to increase the efficiency]
5900 SU harvest storage
Constructor
Detector
Oxygen/closed cockpit.

No RCS - depends on thrusters for rotation (rotation forces fairly weak when heavily loaded with ore).
Worked best when using the 'Pilot mode' for steering/pointing it around.

No weapons.

Nothing particularly special about this miner, it's fairly basic - no convenience features besides the 2 O2 tanks and a wireless thingy. It functioned/mined fine - that big drill is pretty quick. Should support a full hold of ore and stone - I did a test drive with the hold 100% full of promethium (the densest ore I could see) and it was still able to move, although it struggled to climb an incline.
I would recommend having the constructor running to refine ore as you mine it, to reduce the mass and volume of ore as it comes in.

Material list shown in last pic above.
It's pretty cheap, but doesn't have many special features.

Detector can be removed if you don't have need of it, or the constructor can be pulled out and detector slotted in there if you don't want the constructor. (I nearly forgot to add detector, back of the cab was the only place left to put one without major internal changes, it kinda looks weird there).


Kept it fairly small to make it more compatible with different SV HV haulers. It fits on my HVT1060ST fine.
