[T.N.N.S.F.]- Gnome

Designed for short range operation
NOT operational on moons
Full Vanilla



Survival Ready.
Use remote control block when in passenger seat to operate.
Storage is minimum, but well suited for its size and role.
Turn off atmospheric/ion thrusters depending on environment for power efficiency.

Mainly designed for planetary usage, but also operational in space (out of gravity well).
Moon environment without atmosphere is NOT recommended due to failure of ion thrusters against gravity.

**Maximum cargo weight is recommended to be around 22,000 kg.**
Be alert to ship total weight when reaching 50,000 kg, limit may vary with planet atmosphere density.

Main thrusters are facing downward and forward.

After the production of Milesians, T.N.N.S.F. (Tir Na Nog Science Foundation) received many feedbacks requesting a suitable mining vessel for its hangar.
At first T.N.N.S.F. tried to seek for such vessel from other various space ship companies, but soon realized most designs can't operate on planet-side while not exceeding the size limitation.
Using the never published Fiddle class old miner model, T.N.N.S.F. soon successfully came up with a new miner design.
For its utility purpose and small size, the brand new short range miner is named ── Gnome.


Specifically designed for The Milesians's small hangar, but I think it might also come in handy for a lot of people.
It still has its flaws, such as small cargo capacity and not being able to operate on moons without atmosphere.
But cargo size is not really the biggest concern when it comes to short range mining and atmospheric mining.(Weight vs Gravity!!)
And for a ship of this size, further making it usable on moon will just turn it into a cluster of thrusters if it is not one already.
Anyway, hope this ship will be of help !
