Platypus Mining Transport

A repaint and upgrade to this design, allowing it to fly down to earthlike planets. WARNING: you cannot hover when loaded to this extent and will need a bit of forward space to actually get airborne. However, you will be able to return to space and get to around 80km out, with 1 container filled with ore and an empty miner attached (M5 or M6).

WHI - "Platypus"

Platypus is a medium sized cargo transporter for mid sized, solo mining ops. It carries two large containers for ore and got a docking port on it's back for varying sizes of small-grid mining ships. 8 small tanks of Hydrogen fuel keps it and your mining ship fuelled up for a limited amount of time. The main docking port for mining ships is located on it's back and for the ship itself there is another port on the rear of the ship for docking with stations. As usual with WHI ships it makes use of scripts and a timer block for docking / undocking.

Note for manual build: The hinge at the bottom is used to house a small grid antenna and/or beacon. Add them to the "PLP - Systems" group to turn on an off when docked.
