Ceres Heavy Mining Ship - [DLC]

Description
-----BASIC INTRODUCTION-----

This is Ceres class heavy mining ship designed for outer space asteroid mining. It is fully ion thrust enabled making it extremely efficient and compact. Equipped with 2 medium and 1 modular cargo containers, the Ceres Class mining ship can hold a lot of ore before having to head back to a mobile mining platform or facility to offload its contents. The unique aspect of the Ceres Class is its robotic mining arms that allow the ship to mine an asteroid safely without having to fly too close to the asteroid's surface which may cause damage.

-----NOTES ON HOW TO OPERATE-----
  • 1. This mining ship is easy to control from the toolbar menu. One button press to extend and contract the arms in any configuration. No need to worry if the arms are in the correct orientation before folding the arms back into the fuselage.

  • 2. Once you are ready to mine an asteroid you can extend the arms further forward and/or outward to mine a larger and deeper area without having to re-orientate the ship. The speed in which the arms extend is slow enough to not push the ship out before the rock-face has been mined.

  • 3. The mining ship has the rear connector turned on to eject any stone automatically. If you would like to keep all the stone you do mine, simply turn off the "throw out" option for that connector from the toolbar menu.

If only most servers could actually handle ships with pistons...

Extremely well made ship. Plus, enjoying that the landing gear doesn't explode when you try to use it to land on!
