Level 12 Basic SV
Has 5 constructors for processing ore and can still be flown safely while running all 5 thanks to a triple generator layout.
This is generation 2 of my survival SV which has a unique "indoors" construction with access to the closed cockpit from inside as indicated in the screenies. The original 3 constructor "Miners Helper" did not quite cut it for parallel processing on longer mining hauls, so I beefed up the capacity. I intend creating a mining HV of similar ore-munching beefiness soon. It has an O2 station, and space for a few more cargo boxes and as any hungry miner will tell you has 1 fridge. If you need a extra beer fridge, there is still space.
Part of the refit reduced the huge O2 supply and added LCD signage and fixed the front armour a little. You can see if you watch the clip how I almost lost the ship. It's a little tougher in this update, and can survive a volley of homing missiles. The original had a similar weapon loadout, but I realised that 3 gattlings and 5 launchers was in fact plenty to do the jobs a miner needs doing and still take down a POI in a pinch. Built for savings.

Fixed the paintwork a little as well, since each time I got in a scrap, I was never quite keeping up with the re-spraying.
Also features my unique All-engines control for solid landings in the kinds of places a miner often needs to put down.
