Miner Rig - Helios -V

Description
First of all - Thanks to JRandall and all for the creation of the Helios and the module CV system.
Apologies for the roughness of this upload, it's my first workshop item in ages. I can't seem to get the thumbnail to update to a better image.

Made this dual Drill Turret sled module in response to some notes I saw on the existing laser drill module that some prefer the turrets (as do I). Park this puppy under an asteroid with a friend or two, blast away, and it'll be gone in seconds.

This is a minimalist CV, meant for a quick gathering not for fighting. It has a couple turrets in the rear as well as shield and core buried 3 blocks deep, so if you do get targeted, turn tail and park it ASAP! IF you do get jumped, there's backup fuel and generator in the forward section, let them shoot the back. Rear cargo is ammo, and Ore/General cargo are well over the blocks necessary to hit 320k, so if they get rocked a bit you're not going to start dropping goods right away.

Turn down your pitch/roll/yaw to dock or it spins like a top. I have it at .5, .1, .8 when empty.

My paint job is incredibly basic, surely there are more creative folks out there - if you do some detailing please share and just mention me please and thanks.

Fits into CPU T2 so it's pretty low cost, no bridge or matrix components and 1h25m build time.

With the rail on the Helios smaller ports being a liiiiitle bit in the way, the boarding ramp is 1 block diagonally away from the Helios interior deck when docked - my solution for now is a 1x1 stair supported by an angled block haha if you have suggestions I'd like to hear them.

I will revise and update if/as needed.
