MA-4 Atmospheric Miner

NO MODS REQUIRED! This ship does not use any subgrids (hinges/rotors/pistons) and runs only one completely optional script. It uses only the industrial cockpit DLC, as you can probably tell.


The MA-4 has been upgraded again with various new blocks from 1.199, as well as proper tagging of all ship systems. A docking remote system (requested by smac), stone ejectors, magnetic plates, and PAM script to automate this ship have also been added, and the displays have been changed to use FFI like most of my other ships.

This is an updated version of the “bath waterl” mining ship released about a year ago, with more storage space, thrust, and an overall cleaner look. It’s great for gathering resources on any planet with an atmosphere, regardless of inventory settings. In Coyote Orbital service, the MA-4 was most recently used to build up our start on the great Guardians (GV) server.

-Mass: 44,145 kg empty
-PCU: 3,265
-Blocks: 343 total
-Acceleration: Decent…it’s a mining ship.
-Scripts: PAM Auto Mining by Keks (needed for automated mining, otherwise optional) and Fancy Flight Info by Blargmode. This last script is optional; due to its constant, large updates (or something, I'm not a geek) it is not recommended for multiplayer servers. It does however look VERY cool.

Tab 1:
1-Use drills
4-Top camera
5-Rear remote control for docking (with camera)
7-Auto/Recharge toggle for ship batteries
8- On/Off toggle for reverse thrusters (let ship coast forwards while in gravity)
9-On/Off toggle for downwards thrusters (leave off when flying horizontally, but turn on for greater stability when mining straight down.)

Tab 2:
1- "up" argument for PAM
2-"down" argument for PAM
3-"apply" argument for PAM
4-"homepos" argument for PAM (returns miner home)
5-"align" argument for PAM (levels the ship relative to gravity
6-Increase gyroscope power
7-Decrease gyroscope power
8-On/Off toggle for projector
9-On/Off toggle for merge block (can be used to attach ship projection to a sprue when printing the ship)

Tab 3:
1-On/Off toggle for ship stone ejectors
2-On/Off toggle for ship stone sorters (other component of ejection system)
3-On/Off toggle for projector
4-Lock/Unlock toggle for ship landing plates

Tab 8 has projector translation controls and Tab 9 has projector rotation controls as usual.


The MA-4 isn't exactly complicated...not much to say here, hope y'all get the same great mileage out of it as I have! I decided to upgrade this ship with PAM and other features as part of my recent and ongoing hardcore survival game, and figured I'd push this update to the workshop as well.
