thanks

I don't agree with the negative comments, surely the whole idea of Empyrion is to customise ships to your liking! No drill? Add one and don't be a dick!

This does not move (have negative lift), so had to replace some thrusters to M. Nice design though. You could add more pictures including the statistics. Thanks.

Wonder if with a few mods this can be a Auto Miner protection type base.

Protect the auto miner and you can pack it up when you dont need it anymore.

I wonder if a heavy lifter i've got will be able to attach and lift this vessel

At first i too thought this thing would mine for me and i could just go along for the ride. Then i read some posts and figured out what it was. It is pure genius! I threw 2 slightly larger thrusters on 2 opposing corners to give it more lift in higher gravity. As well i swapped out the stock directional thrusters and added RCS to give it a bit more speed and control, otherwise this is great. I use it on Large ore deposits and just walk in mine the small stuff. Id like to try adding drills to the corners so if i spin it maybe it will cut out a circle around the rig then i can just dig out from under it to avoid catching corners on the way back up.

I like this design, but it won't show up in my blueprints list?

Love this rig I made a few adjustments but it is an awsome build to gather resources

@xXXxx_tunadrinker691337420_xxXXx Some may prefer to not use a drone. It is very much personal preference. Additionally, some resources, on other planets, can easily be beyond the reach of the drone, preventing the player from getting to without getting into the mine shaft.

drone has a flashlight and can fly everywhere and you can mine from it just press f5
