whats a shame about the ship is the encounter verison strips its down to just a hydrogen engines and removes a few things

Kewl

Yes i know ;)

Your ship became an encounter, it was renamed Encounter Mining Vessel

Haha neat! Thanks for showing me :D

Created thanks to you :)

IDK whats wrong with the ship, but every time when i sit in the pilot seat with open helmet i get damage untill i close it. O2 is availabe in the ship.

@Zankar Haha yes the M does stand for medium and it is exclusivly for surface mining like you stated. There larger mining vessel that will be able to go deeper but i haven't started construction on that one. However i do like you idea with the piston so i might incorporate something like that.

I know its hard to keep with a design theme and build the most effeceint miner. You did lable this as a surface miner so its technically not meant to even go inside a cavernous roid. Anyways cool design, if this is the medium sized miner for the AOE then I can't wait to see the large sized miner. Can't really see you making your standard wall of drills miner looking cool like the rest fo your ships, best I could think of for better mining is a bunch of pistons with a drill head that extends from a ship, that way you could still keep to the AOE design theme and maybe have a more typical wall of drills most people use.

@FischFace You dont see it in the F10 menu?

@k_medlock jes but i cant see the mod (blue print) in the game overlay

@FischFace Press the Subscribe buttom. And then it's downloaded.

@k_medlock how i can download the ship ?

how i can donload the ship `

@k_medlock only 4 drills! For proper efficiency mining ship IMHO must have at least 12 drills, better 16

@HerrZoldat Why do you say that?

Nice looks but inefficiency and almost useless in survival mode

Thxs @Lt.Starbound!

This ain't a tunnel bore.

@Zinux With this ship you are not supposed to mine straight forward. You should make somewhat of a circle motion when mining which means that you wouldn't have a spike heading right for you.

Zinux - Yup, looks that way to me to.

looks great, not so practical. any mining forward going to big spike of voxel heading from the middle of the front of ship....

налпд аропв

It reminds me of a SCV from Starcraft 2 with the two arms sticking out with drills on them.

Yes

vanilla?

@masterlands Only in development atm.

that was quick response
do u have any mining ship for planets ????

@Masterland No its only for space.

does it work in planets?

Looks like my Scorpion AI Drone Cruiser, but for mining, people sure have original works these days. /sarcasm

@Boldro The Ardent is most effectivly used as a surface miner on asteroids. The drills should roughly be positioned at a 90 degree angle towards the asteroids and then you slowly pivot up, down, left and right.

this ship looks nice, but the namber and disposition of the drills is weird. i'm having trouble mining at a reasoanble speed, but maybe i'm doing something wrong. I'm basically scratching back and forth the surface of the asteroid with the drills, is ther esome other way?

@DiamondDelver No i can assure you that this one was built from scratch. I do not even know what the ship from the mars campaign looks like...

is it just me, or is this a refit of the missile miner from the mars campaign mission

YOUR NAME IS LITERALY GRAMMARCOMMANDER NO ONE WILL JUDGE YOU

LOL

Is... is that name a Halo reference? I might be going crazy, not being able to correct grammar and all in these posts. It'd be 'in bad taste' for me to do so.
My grammar senses are tingling

Reminds me of Aragrath's Campaign reporposed miner. (Not the Gerbil)

Has the same kind of shape: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1204910390

Hmm true... Let me see what i can do...

Oh, you NEED a picture of this mining an asteroid near Ironheart!

Was just about to say xD

Haha get it? Dig it!

A wonderful ship. Looks like a modern day tugboat, I dig it!

i'll take 3 in yellow please ;D

@Quart Glad you do like it. More similar stuff like this to come haha

This is a really nice miner! Looks utilitarian and I'm a bit of a bitch for catwalks on the hull :D
Melike.

Yeah, there is no possible way you've seen my ship. :)

@Titan Thanks mate i will do better with my painting next time ;)

@Lt.Starbound You'll only get it for christmas if you have not been naughty haha

Oh really? Well i can assure you that i have never seen your ship... But hey now there is a workshop version :D

Thinking about it, this is practically a large grid version of a ship I recently built in an EEM survival world... 4 drills extending out the front, relatively similar pilot position, hydrogen & ion propulsion
