===============================================



Crew-efficient Sun Diver that can get into sun's damaging area and push out valuable resources. Does not use Tractor beams, instead pushing asteroids out manually.

It has been designed so that thrusters are placed wider than most sun asteroids. Otherwise the ship will turn while pushing and get destroyed if left unattended. Physics, go figure.

The shape has been tuned so that it can rotate about 15~20° without taking damage. Any further than that and your sides will start to burn.

It also features Protective Armor over Large Shield Generators, so even if your shields break you'd have some time until your expensive shields start to take damage.

————— How Deep Can It Go? —————

See the screenshot. They should be able go a little further, but then cannot last indefinitely.


————— How to Use —————

1. Use Shift + Move or R to rotate the ship until the shields are facing the sun.
   
   
   
2. Use Z to strafe into the sun (If you just use move command the ship will turn around). Position your ship behind an asteroid.
   
   
   
3. Use X+Move command to push asteroids until you're safely outside. (by default, your ship will try to avoid asteroids instead of pushing them. pressing X toggles that behavior.)
   
   
   
4. Once outside, mine the valuable asteroid to your heart's content :)

* I recommend putting some steel in the storage so that you can fix any damages you might take by accident.
