Dart Corp. Mining Drone

Small ship roster

Mining Drone
A small remote controllable drill drone normally based on the Dart Corp. Mining Support. It has a rudimentary AI which makes it semi autonomous. Just point the front to the spot you want to get drilled and hit the start button. It will dig a more or less straight tunnel and will stop automatically when it exits the asteroid on the other side. Due to it's very small size it has no ponderable cargo capacities. Instead the ore should be ejected through it's back ports and to be collected by the Dart Corp. Material Scoop.

P.S.
Dart Corp. wants to provide a carefree and easy operation of its' ships. To do this, we have refrained from using any special or modified equipment. So the ships can be maintained with the vanilla parts universally available.
(in short we use no mods)

Actually I think "Dart" is more a backronym, so the caps won't be needed. But I'm not sure about that, because Volgraza and Saladin came up with that name.

Also, the period is actually necessary, strictly speaking, because it indicates that Corp. is an abbreviation, which it is, for corporation. Now, if it was corps, then it wouldn't need one, because that's the word we pronounce like core, like the Medical Corps or some such. Yes, English is confusing, I know. I'm the child of an English teacher.

P.S. TECHNICALLY, Dart should be in all caps because it's an acronym, but I think that's going a bit far to suggest changing ALL the ships in the series because of that technicality. :P

@Reptavian It was actually titled minig drone at one point, but it seems Ekuah has fixed that. :D

He must mean the period, which strictly speaking isn't needed, but I don't think it really needs to go either.

Which Typo? ;-P

Any plans on fixing the typo in this blueprint's name?

Very nice, I saw something like this before but a bit bigger. His used thrust over ride with the sensors and timer blocks to make it turn around until it was facing at rock again and keep mining, much more semi-autonomous. Just so you know.
