Midsize Lunar/Asteroid Drilling Ship - Bloodworm

Though this is an older design, and is considered to be somewhat clunky by today's standards, the Bloodworm is a reliable old rig. It's designed to latch onto asteroids, but a skilled-enough pilot can easily bore through moons with the same amount of relative ease.
--Three reactors power the entire craft. No need to worry about the position of the sun or recharging, but you will need a steady supply of uranium.
--Four-headed drill, capable of extending 40m from the belly of the Bloodworm.
--Pressurized cabin can seat up to ten; a mining crew of eight, plus a pilot and operator for the drilling rig.
--Twin airlocks capable with interfacing and locking with any four-block dock lock system. Mr. Tyler has asked us to ensure you that he did not mean to rhyme so many words in one sentence.
--Two large cargo containers ensure that you've got plenty of room to store raw materials.
--Four hydrogen tanks and a thruster attached to each one to give that extra push when your ores are preventing you from leaving the lunar surface.
--Two connectors attached to the cargo system; can be used to unload the Bloodworm or refuel its reactors.
--Third connector installed at hydrogen tanks to refill them.
--One more connector in the belly to mount a support craft.
--Jump drive to shorten trips between mining sites.
--Three gatling guns (piped to cargo containers) for point defense against falling meteors.

NOTE: Due to the age of this design, some instability is expected. If the ship begins to tilt in a gravity well, simply unlock and relock the drill shafts.
