'Tick' Ore Scow & 'Mite' Mining Dr.(E.F)

This exploration find comes under the name: " 'Tick' Ore Scow & 'Mite' Mining Drone ". It is the first time that I have seen a derelict spawn as a large-ship&small-ship "pair". The rear has a hopper for mining, but features 4 gravity generators in a pattern that I have not experimented with before in my own designs. It appears that it will push all floating ore into a column directly above the collector funnel. I imagine that it also has an add'l gravity generator inside the ship that pulls the ore towards it.

Ship Review:
I've spent a bit of time with this ship trying to dock it into my "Derelict Ship Museum" and have noticed some things that might be aggravating, though easily fixed. Firstoff, my hats off for the concept of "ore stabilzation" although I have yet to use it in action (I plan on using it soon, though, for some excavation for my "space hotel"). One of the first things that I noticed is that the 'Mite' Mining Drone has no antenna (easy fix as you can place one right behind the remote control block). The 'Tick' could also do with a Remote Control and an Antenna as well (easily fixed) as you might want to position the rig remotely so that it is aligned with the excavation that you will be drilling. This last item is more of a tip since this is one of the few derelicts that comes as a Large-Ship/Small-Ship pair. When you are in the Flight Seat of the 'Tick' for the first time, it is advisable to turn on the 'Mites' battery to regular mode (no boxes checked) BEFORE you take ownership of the everything. If not, the 'Mite' WILL detach from the 'Tick' and get left behind. Alternatively, you can fly to the 'Mite' before entering the 'Tick' and manually swithc the battery over to regular mode.

Cheers to the Contributor!
