Lithoredo X17 -Baseline-

The Lithoredo X17 "Baseline" is the standard model of the mining line I'm doing for 1.0. It is a fully featured T1 mining HV. It is an excellent starter miner with a small form facotr, and low build cost. The LX17 "Baseline" is the more utility focused model of the T1 lineup (will be releasing the rest over the next month or so), being the only T1 model to include a constructor. It also functions quite well in space and is easy to stick onto most SVs to grab your first couple of asteroids. It has been tested with weight and volume enabled and is fairly well balanced even when loaded, although the pitch will shift slightly when heavily loaded. All devices, including O2 and feul tank, are conveniently accesible when standing in the clone chamber, and anyplace you'll commonly stand on the HV are heat and radiation safe.

Features
- Full HV devices compliment (armor locker, medic station, clone chamber, O2 station, constructor)
- Harvester
- Wifi
- Detector
- Storage: Fridge, 250 SU box x1, 235 SU box x1, 5k SU harvest
- Large Fuel tank
- Commonly used/accessed devices kept at top of devices list
- Custom light groups and constructor toggleable from main tab.
- Parking mode for power saving (turns most devices and lights offf, see notes)
- Nose down switch to help start your hole (small footprint HVs can sometimes struggle with this depending on hover placement)

Notes
- Parking mode will shut down most nonessential systems but not the constructor or fridge, when turning parking off it only reenables the propulsion systems but the other switches on the main page can be used to turn anything else back on as needed. I have it set this way to conserve power since you dont need drills out when driving to your next deposit, but the constructor is excluded from this since i frequently allow the constructor to run overnight when I use a tent or bed. Just my play style and these settings are easy to change to suit yours in the signal logic tab should you so desire.
- If trying to dig a mostly level even tunnel best hover height is around .5m but you will need to adjust a bit for sag as you load up the harvest box.
- This HV is great for relatively normal gravity environments (and asteroids), but it might struggle in higher gravity. Devoting 2/5 of your CPU to a constructor forces some compromises in thrust and hover strength if you are trying to stay within the T1 limit. I have other designs more suited to different environments coming shortly though.

Thanks for taking a look and if you like or use the build considering tossing me a rating to help let others see the build. Feel free to comment any constructive criticism you might have, and if you want to post a variation of my builds go right ahead, all I ask is you post a link to my build in your description, and post a link to your build in the comments so I can add it to my description. Also take a look at my workshop for a variety of other builds.
