Xtra Large Universal Miner (Non-VRO)

Description
Adds a XL miner called the "Arrastra" based off the Nomad for late game powerhouse industry, mainly to reduce lag from mining ships.

It is classified as a deep space miner, meaning the AI will use it to do long range mining.

It is universal in that it can mine Ore and Gas.

Feel free to suggest bugfixes or features in the comments.

Future Plans: Attach a refinery to the Arrastra so it can refine and sell the ore directly (Mostly working but disabled due to a bug on orders)

License: Do whatever you want with this, you don't need my permissions, credit is nice though :)

This is an updated concept based on another mod by Acidrain9100: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2017532496&searchtext=xl+miner

Great mod, would love it more if ship L turrets wasn't mining only. I'm using it as a hub to store mined ore before transporting it elsewhere, so for me mining turrets are unneeded, some extra protection tho, would be much appreciated

is it viable for terran economy?

Bug report
Have it doing Advance auto mine and it complains about not having mining drones even though it has 60x or mining drones. Its set only for Ore and Silicon.

Same happens when just set with gas drones and only set to mine all 3 gases

I love it! Any chance you could also make a slightly improved version with more turrets/engine power?

@Biggus Dickus It should be, I didn't see anything in the beta that messed with ships per say.

it is compatible with beta patch 7.5?

@elrodmarlon thank you :) I just make stuff I think myself and others would find fun,

I wish Egosoft would add XL miners to the game.

You have done it a great mod and combined with the Ancients mod that has the matching transport ships it is perfect, thank you :)

yeah that's what I mean. From other ships mods it should be fine, especially if existing ships are removed beforehand

@AngelofDeath69 what do you mean by "not mandatory"? If you mean marking it as required for a save I can do that but I don't know what effect removing it from en existing save will have. :)
