Pathfinder Utility Vehicle III

Pathfinder Utility Vehicle III is a second variant of the original Pathfinder Utility Vehicle that is a small-grid, heavy-lift, all-purpose crafty designed for high-gravity planets such as Omicron with its 1.9g gravitational acceleration. This utility ship can be used for heavy-lift transport and/or mining such as travelling to space to acquire uranium and platinum. All three thruster types are used to enhance versatility and reliability. Pathfinder Utility Vehicle III serves well as an early survival game mining ship for the aforementioned purpose, performing well even before ion thrusters and small reactors are fully built and operational.

(See the last picture for the projector's configuration.)
1. Build a rotor frame on a powered grid; remove the large-grid rotor head and replace with a small-grid rotor head and lock rotation.
2. Stack 2 armor blocks, minimum, vertically atop the small-grid rotor head to provide sufficient clearance for building the miner.
3. Build a small-grid projector on top of the topmost armor block; for consistency, rename the projector to be "P3 - Projector".
4. Load the blueprint into the projector; click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
5. Build the blueprint.
6. When completed, grind away the small-grid rotor head, armor blocks, and rotor frame, leaving the projector in place for future repairs.
