ISL - Hercules-RT 1280

The Hercules is designed to operate as a lightly armed mobile mining facility on planetary and Lunar sufaces, set up as both a PAM Controller to manage its two mining ships and a SAM Station for two autopiloted cargo shuttles and a personal shuttle. It has 8 wheels (5x5) and some hydrogen thrusters (forward and braking only, for more control up and down steep slopes)

Recommended Miners:

• All MK1 Tunnel Miners
  
• All MK2 Tunnel Miners

Ships recommended for use with the Hercules can be found in the ISL Small Grid Miners collection and the Callisto Cargo drones collection.

To avoid collisions between the hangar and miners when using the PAM script's path recording, first park your mining ship orientated as shown in the screenshot, then start path recording, undock and, lifting up only enough to avoid thruster damage, move out of the hangar sideways until fully clear, then turn towards your job site and fly normally.

Staying low is important, as the PAM script flies to a waypoint a certain height above the connector (If docking vertically) before docking, and if the path recorded is too high, PAM will save that waypoint inside the hangar roof.

Full cargo (as indicated on the LCD in the cabin) is:
• All docks Occupied
• Large cargo container full of Ore
• Small Cargo container full of Components
• O2/H2 Generators full of Ice
• Ammunition in the 8 turrets

The RT 1280's miner hangar is designed for carrying Tunnel Miners, for the version that fits Quarry miners, try the Hercules-RQ 1280.

Here is the ion version.

Here is the atmospheric version.

Whip's Compass Bearing script is installed on a cabin LCD.

There is a basic refinery and assembler on board, for any emergency repairs only.

IMPORTANT: this ship is designed for carrying Ore only in its main cargo container (although the small container can carry components). Components and ingots are much heavier per volume than ore. It is not recommended to go beyond this weight limit (but if you do, let me know how getting up that hill goes).

2 Miner Docks - with Sorter for unloading
2 Cargo Drone/Shuttle Docks - with Sorter for loading
1 Light Dock for a personal shuttle - conveyored to cargo system
Stone Ejection system (1 Connector and 1 Sorter)
Combined interior cabin and living space (beds for 2)

Scripts & Weapons:
PAM script (Controller)
SAMv2 script (Station)
Whip's Compass Bearing script
MMaster's Automatic LCD's

7 Interior Turrets - 1 hangar, 3 each port and starboard
Emergency production - 1 assembler & 1 basic refinery

Power:
15 Batteries
2 Hydrogen engines
3 Hydrogen generators
1 Large Hydrogen tank
1 Small Hydrogen tank

Movement & Control:
1 Remote Control
1 Flight seat
4 Gyroscopes - anti flip system & steering assist
8 Wheels (5x5)
9 Small Hydrogen Thrusters
1 Small Reactor

Cargo Space
1 Large Cargo Container
1 Small cargo container

Miscellaneous:
1 Gravity Generator - range extends only enough to cover the ship
4 Artificial Mass blocks - together with the gravity generator, makes driving in lunar gravity easier.
9 Connectors - 1 underside, 1 port, 1 starboard (for docking to station)
2 Cargo drone docks, 1 personal shuttle dock, 2 miner docks, 1 stone ejector.
1 Oxygen tank
1 Ore Detector
Multiple LCD readouts with information about the state of the ship.
1 Landing Gear (rear, underside) - For locking in place during mining operations, place one or two blocks (no need to weld them) from the ground up to the Landing gear.

Landing pads have approach lighting systems (aesthetic only)

All Programmable blocks are turned off in this blueprint, to get them going again, just turn them back on. Each ship also has text panels on the sides to display a registration number.
