Nice Design!
My atmospheric cargo ships also get the job done, but they look ugly!

I've found one small problem: The thruster on the top damages the camera on full thrust.

Are there any other ships draining power? you could disconnect them (or wait for them to charge). Or you could set some of the Hercules batteries to Discharge

wierd now its saying there charging will take 8 hours.. anyway to speed that up?

I thought the Hercules had 2 engines?

Are the hydrogen engines on an running?

You may need to put some of the Hercules batteries to discharge if you don't have enough hydrogen. Or wait until the Hercules is not using its power to charge miners as well.

so i checked the batterys there on auto and not getting power altho the herc has 1 hydro engine on and 35MW of power so um?

Ok, then I have no idea, since I'm actually sitting in a dedicated server watching the Ore carrying version of this ship go back and forth. Do the batteries have the [SAM] tag on them? (the script should automatically add i to all batteries and tanks on the ship)

load charge

Did you tell it to charge? or just load/unload?

ok all that worked it did a few runs then ran outa energy and is now sitting piowerless on my dock

You can tell it to wait until the cargo containers are full at a certain dock by choosing the "Load" or "Charge&Load" options with SAM, and you also tell it to wait until all containers are empty at a specific dock by choosing either "Unload" or "Charge&Unload".

You choose these options by taking control of the ship (while looking at the LCD), making sure PB [SAM] is turned on, going to toolbar 4 and pressing button 4 to change screens (which should show you a list of available docks), choosing the docks you want using button 3 (select).

Once you are done choosing all the stops you want your drone to take, press button 4 again and you should see a list of only the docks you have selected, if you press button 3 it will cycle through docking options for the selected dock; "Charge", "Load", "Unload", "Charge&Load'and "Charge&Unload".

Keep in mind the SAM script doesn't actually move the cargo, so you may still need sorters.

ok so it moves between point a and b but it does not wait to drain cargo?

ok

That is because this is the version that is armed?

If you are looking at the part where I wrote "can either be armed (two front gatling turrets) or unarmed" that is where I was saying that the Callisto Cargo Drone Collection encompasses both armed and unarmed versions of each ship.

The designations of the ships will tell you what you're looking for; the first letter is the thruster type, the second is the (recommended) cargo type and the third indicates whether it is the armed version or not.

So for example, this one; Callisto-ACa Has atmospheric thusters, is designed for carrying components and is armed. For the unarmed version, you want the Callisto-ACb.

This does not look unarmed
