MAR Drill Worm

Description
This ship can drive through asteroids (without turning mid asteroid) and get full of ore fast. I disable the forward facing thrusters (hotkey 4), enable damening and coast forward at 0.50m/s and go outside to look at it while it goes through the asteroid. I also enable stone/iron dumping so the containers fill up with usefull materials.

If the asteroid is too large, the containers gets full before you are through. I do reverse out instead, no problem.

Its 46 blocks long. it has 7x7 (49) drill heads, 6 Large cargo storage.

I dont see much bouncing in 3rd person (with drill vibrations enabled in survival). And with 2.5 meter (1 block) clearance all around the body It does not touch the asteroid. The mass of the ship, and all the thrusters must help. The ship does not get damaged.

I created this ship in 2017, I just stated playing again where I left off, and wanted to share it.

you should add some wheels to it like i did on mine, this prevents the back end from bouncing around inside the Asteroid and taking damage in survival.
