Solar Basic Miner

100% Solar powered miner with all the basics. Perfect for your first mining rig. After you've done some missions and have enough units and/or silicon using my Solar Starter Ship you can hop into this bad boy and really start getting those resources!

Features include a salvager and a disposal unit so you can deploy and pick up defence and repair drones, a molecular reconstructor so you can respawn aboard should you have a mishap, and a computer console right next to the cockpit so you'll never have to run back to the extractor to see what you can mine in the astrofield.

With a top speed of 156m/s you will be able to navigate the astrofields with ease. Unlike the Solar Starter ship it doesn't recharge the batteries while you are at full thrusters, but you can recharge your batteries all the way up to warp 5! Now that's efficiency! Most traveling you do at this stage will be warping anyways. Thrusters are only to position yourself closer to the station or astrofeild when you get there.

This ship is one of a series of ships I plan on building to take you from just starting out all the way to end game mining/fighting operations. If you like the ships I build and you want to see more, please rate up, favorite, and leave a comment below. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my ships feel free to let me know.
