ME-32 Cadet Miner

Designed and built by Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, the ME-32 Cadet Miner is an early survival game mining ship for space and low-gravity moons 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 and 12 small hydrogen tanks that significantly increases range and runtime. Designed for evading hostile NPCs, acceleration is reasonably quick, even when fully loaded. Mining on moons is effortless because the ME-32 can mine in any orientation, even fully loaded! The ME-32 Cadet Miner is an upgrade to the M-32 Cadet Miner that has additional thrusters, small hydrogen tanks, and one meter additional space between the drills to increase ore uptake, i.e., the drills are now optimally spaced.

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
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, armor blocks, and small-grid rotor head, leaving the projector in place so future repairs can be easily made.
