Also just double checked and CPU is just under the limit so that's not a problem.

I don't know why everyone saying not feasible. Maybe whatever was broken then is fixed now.

Tested in vanilla for planetary mining:
+ Dug deep quickly and easily. Flew back out at 50%+ of capacity in 4G.
+ Compact - easily fits into a small CV
- No spotlights - for me these are essential on a miner. Easily fixed.
- I had some bouncing around out of the hole. Not sure why.

hence the legacy tag. 10 min in creative and it works though.

Unfortunately not really a feasible build anymore. I don't know what the game was like 2 years ago(the usual problem with early release/indie developed games) but using 5 small generators and an excess of large thrusters is pretty inefficient, and it no longer has the CPU or generator power to run the lasers(at least in RE). Tried using it in a MP server yesterday and it might as well be rigged to self destruct on use.

i will be sure to pass on your request to my mother @canveriven . in the mean time i suggest you look at the date this build was submitted to the workshop and imagine all the changes that can happen to a game in over a year. if the generators are insufficient then it will be a nice little project for you to add some more.

You cannot put a salvage turret on an sv in vanilla empyrion.
I am assuming that's what you mean by scrapper

This is a super great design, works like a champ. I think it it best for space. I added lights, but a lot of times lights can make it harder to see what you are mining

The other sister item you need to add to this is a sv scrapper. Then when you are searching space and find something, you can pick which unit to take out. I'm not sure if you could have both on the same unit?

lol i have 7 of these docked in my battlestar galactica for large scale mining op's while under the defensive dome of my battlestar's auto defence's settings

Nice work Neuro!

The lack of spotlights was an annoying oversight. glad it's working out through

Little earth eater love it, i did add 6 spotlights.
Nice work Neuro :)

Very sweet - slick and functional design! I will give this a shot in our multiplayer game as soon as I have the levels.

thats great pojo56 , im glad you where able to make it your own. thats what this game is all about.

i love it. i did add 4 fuel tanks after running out of fuel after digging out 3 medium deposits, plus 4 spotlights and 2 minigun turrets. after trying it on a couple of asteroids ill stick to the cv miner, but for the planet deposits this IS. THE. BEST. EVER!

keelback is a species of snake.

@greg007 thanks for the feedback, i will update when i can.

why is everyone naming their ♥♥♥♥ after eliete dangerous ships and they dont even look like the ships

You forgot to add lights.

oh thank you, i have been looking for a small ladybug-ish sv with which to just widen my launch tube to my underground underwater base!

Thank you. Hopefully it continues to work for the foreseeable future

Looks great

This is a cool little miner. I definitely need to build my own eventually. Awesome work Neuro. :)

Sweet miner! Awesome work!

thanks people. very kind

WOW Neurocite look at you with the Fx :D It is an awesome miner! Well done!!!!

Looks SUPER!!!! You know I gotta Subscribe this one!! Great work!
