sorry for the late reply im happy others injoy the lady beetle and glad it lives on in other designs :)

Hi, I loved this ship so much that I took your design and modernized it. Added CPU, and O2 station. Also changed the cargo to controller cargo for both ore and storage. I removed the constructor to make room, and had to redesign the nose because the cockpit no longer allowed the use of the overhead door. Now there is a double retractable door that works great. I have tested it, and it works every bit as good as I remember. I had stepped away from the game awhile, and the new versions of mining ships feel clunky to me. With your permission I'd like to publish my rework of your ship. I will ensure to give you credit for the original design.

aye your right , actually good idea to make a dedicated mining CV keeping it cheap as possable might take a bit to perfect also trying to figure out if i should put in a warp drive or be purely used to mine in space in local system.

Technetium it's fine. Estrium and Zarcosium may be a little hard to come by but on multiplayer there's usually1 or 2 generous people that drop a few ingots. I like the way it is. One thing I would be interested in seeing you make in a mini CV with Mining capabilities. I see laser drills for CV but had no luck making it function. Small low cost CVs are all the rage on multiplayer. Thanx again, I love your lady beetle hv

actually been thinking about going over it again and refine it even more!! more along balancing i use her all the time she mines stuff pretty FAST !! she is based of the lady bug Frame!. as for estrium and zarcosium ive been worryed about tht my self with all the recent updates ect but it seems estrium and zarcosium is a lot lot easyer to find now from POI, deposits, and GOLEMS!! yes ! golems now have 20-30% chance to drop estrium and zarcosium !

This is a very good HV, good manerverability and fast. Thanx Tech, you made mining fun. Only downside is it requires estrium and zarcosium which are a little hard to come by
