Thanks, I knew I had to be missing something :steamfacepalm:

It has bi-directional piloting in other words

There are two cockpits on the Autominer module. One is for docking it to autominers and the other is for docking it to the carrier. Try using the cockpit that has a window in front of it ;)

I am enjoying your design very much. I have Astra Mk II and 6 different module ships. I do have a problem with this one though. You have to back it in to dock with the Astra Mk II with no window to look out of to line up the ship. Am I missing something, of is there a trick to it. Thanks

Should that not depend on what the cargo actually is? I can't remember which is the heaviest rock. Also, we have have to assume that at least some of the constructors will be used in pre-processing the ore before heading to base. By the way, if a Furnace were here, that would be very interesting.

This one is a little lighter on thrust than the Base Camp. I haven't tested this on 5G planet while under load, i know it will run empty in high G, just can't remember off hand what the cargo payload is at, for example, 4.5G.

What Gs was this rated for? I'm assuming same or similar to the base camp module since the two can work in conjunction?

You CANNOT put anything on top or in front of ANY module or it will no longer dock..
That it is happen with me. Thank you!

Also you should be able to slap turrets on the belly or rear of any of the modules and they will still dock. You CANNOT put anything on top or in front of ANY module or it will no longer dock..

Umm? The Autominer module isn't really designed to be upgraded? Also i think you might be confused as to what i mean by 'Autominer'. The Autominer module is designed to work with the planet-placeable autominer devices T1-T3 by landing on top of them (there's a big hole in the middle of the Autominer module for this purpose..)so you can fuel them and take their ores.

I am playing with a module that uses the the new automining turrets (the ones that can only be used to harvest the new dense and rich asteroids) but so far in my testing only automining the ice asteroids feels worthwhile for water collection. The mineral turrets (the ones that need fuel made from the ice mining spoils) just don't give enough mats for the effort and time.

Hi! I really liked your project of modular aircraft carriers. Randall's idea is in miniature and more close to the needs of the player. Thanks!
There are some problems with the modules. If you have tried to upgrade autominer with drilling turrets, please show me how you planned to place them?
If you try to stick them in the middle section between the machine gun turrets, the module loses the ability to dock with the uterus.

That's a cool module idea. One for tending auto miners!
