Thanks for the recommendations.

Built this in survival and using it now and really enjoy it. Some tips for piloting:

While it guzzles Hydroden super fast when flying around with dampeners on, all the extra thrust really helps with stopping power and load capacity. You GREATLY reduce hydrogen consumption in this ship doing short bursts with dampeners off in transit and triggering dampeners to stop the ship. Also, when you mine a shaft downwards, just cycle turning dampeners off and back on with the AutoLevel triggered to avoid the unnecessary fuel consumption from down thrust and extra up thrust to brake.

Also, consider creating a drills group and hotkey to hold them on when you've struck ore. I've found it helpful to keep the ship drilling with dampers off and gravity pushing it down so when needed, I can get out of the cockpit to inspect/watch externally while it grinds away.

Yeah, that's the downside.

Great miner for sure!., been using it for about 2 days now., eats ice like it's nothing though.

Thanks.

And I stop the discussion at this stage, you can see who's playing Start Citizen Same colourist ,nice project ,congrats mate ! Positive from me !

The only DLC is the industrial cockpit that's from the first Decorative Pack. It should be a vanilla game block.

What is the DLC that is needed?

Yeah. I have a series of these things that use a 12-drill chassis, but my changeover to using the large forward/backward hydrogen thrusters necessitated adding another in each corner to give me more clearance.

That's a lotta drillpower.
