Cadet Miner

Designed and built by Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, the Cadet Miner is an early survival game mining ship for space that can be built using material processed using a basic refinery and basic assembler. An integrated projector makes drydock repairs easy. Propulsion is provided by hydrogen thrusters that are supplied by two O2/H2 generators that provide significant range and runtime. Designed for evading hostile NPCs, acceleration is reasonably quick, even when fully loaded.

ENTIRELY VANILLA; NO MODS; NO DLC; PROJECTOR BUILDABLE IN SURVIVAL!

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
See the last picture for the projector's configuration.
1. Build a small-grid projector on a rotor frame configured with a small-grid rotor head that's located on a powered grid (you may need to put two or three armor block spacers between the small rotor head and projector to provide vertical clearance).
2. Load the blueprint into the projector; click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
3. Build the blueprint.
4. When completed, grind away the rotor frame and small-grid rotor head, leaving the projector in place so future repairs can be easily made.
