Description
A small ship with 4 drills, a lot of storage and a proper walk in cockpit. Usable as a pilotable (or drone) controllable drilling rig. Ideal for when you need a bigger mining machine, but don't have the materials yet.
Solar and battery powered, and yes the panels do survive.
Simply drill stright through the asteroid and out the other side, turn around and make another pass.

Has 3 Large Cargo Containers, so you can store most of an asteroid inside, 3 connectors so you can unload it all easier (or dispose of the stone).

This is a converted Mini Freighter Drone.

@Airwolf This ship was only intended for mining Asteroids, as if predates planets/moons.
Would need a redesign to have hydrogen thrusters, and swap one of the cargo containers for a hydrogen tank.

I was a bit disappointed with this build. The vehicle struggled with it's own weight on the moon, and was unable to function with any degree of ore mined in the cargo containers.

I took this and upgraded it quite a bit. Would you mind if I posted it?

Is the third cargo the cargo container on the back connected to the other cargo containers?

@starfury Sorry the picture is out of date, the blueprint matched the description. I've uploaded a new version so it replaces the image.
