Mining Drone (Fighter Blueprint / Vessel)

Description
Block Count: 200

A small drone for mining and repair work.

Additional Notes: Though it is best utilized as a fighter blueprint, it is suprisingly affective as a cheap, expendable mining/salvaging vessel. At default, it has 160hp and a 4 man crew; but by replacing a few plates, can increase the crew count to 7-9.

Still, Definintely NOT a combat vessel.

NOTE: For those that may have issues with the download, you might need to switch over to the "Beta" test branch in order to do so. Not entirely sure if that is the reason (no word on if it is or is not), but it's the only one that I can think of.

In order to switch over to the test branch, you need to go to game library, right-click on Avorion, properties, and from there it has the "Betas" tab. Opt into the Beta branch to access the newest features (custom turret blocks, etc.). Please note before doing so that this Beta branch of the game does not garrantee any saved games. You are not garranteed to have saved games from Stable Branch work for this one, or any saves from Beta to continue to work afterwards. Beta is for testing and will tell you as much. <Just want to let you know what you might be getting into if you do decide to use it.

"Wanted to say thank you to everyone enjoying this old thing" Old thing my a** :steamhappy: This is what is called a "timeless classic" ! I might try other designs when I start playing Avorion again, but this will be forever my first choice. Well done !

Wanted to say thank you to everyone enjoying this old thing. Blackhorse_Six, I have added the different colors you wanted as well as updated the design ever-so-slightly. Hopefully they'll serve ya'll well.

Almost two years later, still my favorite utility drone ... Wish the author would come back and help me with those role-colors ...

Fantastic! This will be my GO-TO custom mining drones moving forward, thank you!

I love it so much ! On every ship I have at least one of it, since Drones are really useful to open stashes and such, where your own ship is too clunky to fly into the asteroid field.

The design is awesome !
