Description
Why transport enemy hulks to your base's grinder pit when you can fly your grinder pit to the hulk? Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions, a division of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, presents the Grind-O-Matic 1100 SE outer space grinding ship with 6 large and 13 medium cargo containers for parts storage. With realistic (i.e., 1-1-1) settings, the cargo capacity of this high-capacity scrapper, including connector and 34 grinders, is nearly 1,700 tons (which corresponds to nearly 85,000 steel plates). Grind-O-Matic 1100 SE is powered by 14 batteries to safely operate and maneuver. This ship will easily pass through a 7-wide opening of airtight hangar doors.

NO MODS, NO DLC, NO ROTORS/PISTONS; SURVIVAL READY AND PROJECTION BUILDABLE!

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR
The ship's grid pivot (i.e., reference point for the projection) is the center of the cockpit's base. As shown in the last picture, three (3) blocks should be added above the projector to ensure adequate clearance when building, and the projector's vertical offset should then be set to -5 and forward offset set to -1 to properly align the projection for the building process.

ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR OPERATION
Ship grinders are not like ship drills; they are somewhat fragile. So take care not to jam the grinding process lest you spend some of your hard-earned parts (and time) to rebuild the destroyed grinders. I've found that periodically moving laterally to let the side grinders do their thing helps maintain adequate clearance for the plunge-grinding process. Finally, convert ships to stations, if possible, to stabilize the deconstruction process. Now go plunder space for the glory of your galactic empire!

Indeed.

I see what you did there. "Arc" nemesis. Very good.
