'Butterball' Atmospheric Miner

Description
This little miner can carry a total load of at least 100,000kg which equates to a little over 50,000kg of ore per run making it a useful mid-sized atmospheric mining ship.

The ship is vanilla and has a single script running on it which is Isy's Battery Helper. This automatically manages the recharge state of the on-board batteries every time you dock/undock to a connector, have a look at it here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=859401813

The ship was designed and built in survival mode for use in my series 'Survival, Maybe...' and due to that scenario having no Uranium this ship does not have any reactors for backup power. If you're playing with Uranium it would be a good idea to sneak a reactor or two in where you can to give that extra little bit of security.

If you would like to see the design work in progress have a look at the videos above.

If you make any modifications to the miner, even just a different colour scheme send me the link as I'd love to see it :)

Cryptfeen, you need a projector block, to which U can load blueprint and start to weld it

Thrusters are all kinds of messed up and don't fire half the time, the batteries won't recharge, and I didn't change any of the settings on it. Was it supposed to be that way?

I can't seem to get it to move. The ship has power and the thrusters are running but no matter what I do it just won't take off. Am I missing something?
