Drill Ship Atmosphere mk.1

While not having the most creative name, this ship does sport all the necessary equipment for mining. You find this ship in Original Content games based on EasyStation. It exists in variants equipped for planetary mining and space mining.

Description

A minimalist outlook was behind this vessel, because as a miner gains ore it also gains mass. It saves on weight by using Light Armor blocks as struts. The ship is equipped with a safety sensor that switches the drills off when players approach.

On EarthLike Planet, planetary gravity threatens to keep this vessel buried in the hole it dug. Do not load this craft heavier than 100,400 kg as this is a safe flying weight for this VTOL. Even the EasyStation's LCD warns the pilot "Be careful to not exceed the total mass of 175,000 kg, flight performance not guaranteed past that weight." Even though it can hold more mass, the Force supplied by the Atmospheric_Thrusters is not strong enough to lift the vessel out of a hole in a 1x Inventory setting. Flipping the vehicle upside down is also dangerous because it lacks upward facing thrusters for it to turn itself back upright.

The vessel's ship name is Drill Ship Atmosphere mk.1 when the Antenna is switched on to show its name, but the Beacon is labeled Atmospheric_Miner_mk.2. As it is the first and probable altered variant of the atmospheric Miner, the name of it in this wiki shall be Drill Ship Atmosphere mk.1 because that is how game names it. On the moon, the ion variant of ship is called Drill Ship Moon mk.1.
