Komy's Star Divers

Star Tug, Sun Diver, Sun Miner, whathever these kinds of ship's name should be, here is my take on it! A tested ship capable of moving inside of a star's danger zone and pull asteroids for safe harvesting.

The convex shield layout makes sure the damage is evenly distributed, and power is not wasted. The even distribution also allowed for a wider ship size which gave the whole craft a tappered shape towards the rear, this is intended, it means that the ship should not get damaged by making it fly at a wrong angle, a defect of more basic, plain square/rectangular Star Divers. (You still should try to keep it facing towards the star though.)

------------------
---HOW TO USE---
Use the commands Rotate(default "R") and Strafe(default "Z") respectively to angle the shields towards the star, then use Strafe to move the ship, rotate to adjust the angle of approach as needed. Get in range of an asteroid and use the Tractor Beams in "Pull" configuration. Navigate out of the heat zone carefully. Do not allow the asteroids to clip through the shields otherwise they'll be breached and take damage from the star's heat! Keep a reasonable distance! I have added frontal bumpers to these ships to prevent accidental shield breaching.
------------------

This pack includes two ships of similar design, the refined, bigger Star Hauler, and a cheaper, smaller ship called the Star Grazer


-Star Hauler: Fully capable of getting right in close to the star and pull even the deepests of asteroids with little difficulty.
---Speed 54.5m/s
---Crew 86
---Cost 1,164,350 credits
------11266 Steel
------402 Coils
------1278 Hyper-Coils
------58 Tri-Steel
------34 Diamonds
------9 Processors
------120 Enriched Uranium
---Cargo: 348 spaces. Capable of carrying the equivalent to 6960 Steel Plates, or alternatively, 1740 unrefined ore
---Weaponry: Mining Laser x3
---Hyperdrives: Yes (6)


-Star Grazer: The smaller version of the Star Hauler, is capable of venturing within the star's heat zone, but be warned, it CANNOT resist the deeper regions for too long, this ship is meant to be a budget version to get started, I strongly suggest to upgrading to the Star Hauler as soon as possible.
---Speed 39.5m/s
