Description
Made for official servers, using vanilla blocks.

This is not a sluggish mining ship, its made for power and performance. With the power and length, you can dig deep into asteroids, digging well over 50m before you need to widen the hole. It has 3 large cargo containers to store its ore. However as a note, its rotational velocity, and its length, will easily cause damage in close contact with asteroids, or structures. It takes a smooth hand when the ship is empty, you can always dial down the gyros, but you will be happy to have that extra rotation when the ship is fully loaded. This also has 2 ore detectors, because the ship is more than 100m long I figured, one on each end to help scan asteroids. Having the rear one may be less helpful than the front, but its nice to have that feeling that you are less likely to miss a deposit. The one on the tip is very nice cause once your start digging into an asteroid you can sometimes spot a deep deposit that you previously missed.

Each large hydrogen thruster can carry about 600,000 kg. The ship has 4 thrusters on the bottom to enable transit to planets if required. The ship has a max carry limit of about 2.4million kg, you never want to fly at your max carry for safety reasons. The ship's mass is about 600,000kg, this means you can carry about ~1.5million kg of cargo at 1.0G. Just note that the back and side thrust can only carry 600,000 kg of cargo, so keep it level and steady when full.

This is a complete redesign of another miner I made. This design comes equipped with
2 full speed refineries
2 basic refineries
1 full speed assembler,
12 o2/h2 gens
1 o2 tank
4 jump drives
3 large h2 tanks, and 1 small h2 tank
>=2 large hydrogen thrusters in every direction
1 camera
2 lights
2 Ore Detectors

The camera is helpful for seeing whats going on while digging, or zooming in on distant asteroids to do a visual scan of ores. The interior lights help you see in the dark spots, they are limited to 20m range, but I find them helpful for judging distances. Note that both of these tend to break when you smash the drills too hard. remember your basically flying a mobile base, you can easily grab stone and fabricate components to repair any damage out in the field.

Please comment on things you like or dont like. Most people hate how much acceleration my builds have, I will not be changing that, except possible to add more, if its reasonable.

No not yet, I usually only play on official servers, and with them down it will be a hot minute before I really test it. Is there something that you see wrong or annoying about it?

Have you been making any modifications or fine tuning?
