Nice little ship but it can be hard to get in/out of the cockpit so i had to remove the oxygen tank and the cargo behind the cockpit. I still found it hard on occasion so I replaced the cockpit so I can get in from the front too

Best miner I have ever used in this game no cap, it's compact, has a ton of storage, fast and agile, can do a 360 inside the mining hole 10/10

Quick addendum... you don't need an advanced constructor. My bad.

Just a quick note. It says it comes standard with the three drills. It does not. It comes without any drills, and drills require an advanced constructor to make. Just fyi, if you bring this in as a starter, you will have a good little transport ship, but no mining capability until you can make a base with an advanced constructor, or find one in a public or NPC base you can use.

Thank you okaio and willderyes! @okaio, I agree with your findings too. And thanks again all!

Thanks a lot jrandall. I appreciate the though you put into your designs and especially the commentary you provide. I hate when someone just plops down something and doesn't give any explanation. You, on the other hand always tell us what you expect your vehicle to do and provide how we can modify it. That is FANTASTIC!

Tested it in a RE2 survival and it is a great starter SV! As always jrandal!

Minor remarks:
It just snug fits into the holes it digs, be aware of your steering inputs under ground or use it as a dip miner.

When landng make sure you land on flat ground or the O2 station and cargo box make it hard to leave the cockpit when the ship is tilted. I moved the O2 and Box to the designated shield slot temporarily to make getting out easier.

Thank you JafMix, Hugh de Salle, and filbertfarmer! :)

Awesome build J, well done!

I have been waiting for this i have used you Scarab vessels since i first played the game some 6 years ago , Without a doubt thee most talented designer for this game thank you so much for updating to RE.

Nice looking build ! Tested it in RE2, works great. Love the fact that we can spawn it early, then upgrade it.

Thank you very much SGT Roc/K/, dollarzer0, Typhir, and Kafoops! It was definitely a strange build with 3 drills. I was back and forth doing whatever I could do to make it fly with a load and not run over the tier 1 CPU. And thank you all again!

I wanted to let you know that I started an RE 2 game on Akua and built the Scarab and took it to the moon. I ate a medium titanium ore deposit and an aluminium ore deposit, and they fit in the cargo boxes no problem. Digging the initial hole to the ore was fine, getting down to the ore and eating it took a bit of maneuvering and getting stuck every so often, but once you make the hole bigger, I had no issues. The full load was a little sluggish, but nothing detrimental - I was able to easily take out Zirax drones guarding ores while fully loaded. I was able to carry all the ore back to Akua with barely a quarter of my fuel used up. I also used the Scarab to take out a couple of POIs and was able to load it up with mats no problem. This is a great little miner, sir, a great little carrier and the tri-drills make short work of ores.

I love the utilitarian design elements that makes your ships look so awesome. The number of sloped blocks that all fit together that you always use in your designs is a skill that I have yet to master. Whenever I try to make something that looks decent, I always get so frustrated with the fact that my ships usually turn into flying giant bricks.

Thank you for being the continued inspiration for me to build better!

Sweet though, I was gonna do a three driller too.

Let the mining begin! ;)

Great videa about this build, really looking forward to more. I can't get an sv design with full 32k ore container, top speed in space, with decent laser drills at any cpu level. Thanks for more great work!

Thank you Nord Stein and lyken4! :)

love the shape!!
