Description

A rather large Mining rig to efficiently devastate asteroids. Survival ready.

'Armed' with:
- 2 Gatling Turrets
- 53 Rotating small ship drills

Additional Notes:
- Very efficient and fast rotating drill layout, that creates a round hole the ship fits through
- Control via "start" and "stop" timer blocks
- 2 Refineries, 2 Arc Furnaces, Assembler
- 2 Large Storage Containers to store ingots

Explaination:
- Ejectors on drill head needed as the game currently not automatically picks up the items from a small ship grid into the refinery/storage of a large one.

Feel free to ask questions about my design in the comment section.

PS: I know this might not appear in the exploration mode as it uses a rotor.

I love the ship but while I was drilling it appeared the ejectors lost more items then it was shooting into the collectors. So I was only getting about half of what I was mining since all the ore blocks were bumping into each other and flying out into space. Is there anyway to fix this or wire up a grid system for it?

Hey I read your comment about "pasting it in" but I don't really understand.. How would you do that?

@tatanos: Thats because projectors don't work with rotors currently, you will have to place this ship via selecting it in the blueprints menu and then pasting it in.
