Polaris Deluxe Miner - RE 1.4

Update: I've replaced the heavy landing gears to reduce the unlock level. I also took the chance to add 250L extra harvest storage. I also covered two thrusters on the bottom to improve the visuals.

There's a T2 version of this ship with warp and shield already installed here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2516000830

A smallish and cheap starter miner SV for Reforged Eden 1.4. Very slightly over CPU.
Lvl 7 unlock. Requires only carbon, iron, silicon and copper. Capable of planetary mining, but consider removing the decorative wings for that, will work smoother without them. Not a problem for asteroid mining, though.

Warning. This ship has no armor. It's all cargo. Don't get shot at without a shield installed and active.

Looks heavily inspired by the default blueprint called Polaris Scout, hence the name.

Equipment:
4 drills
ammo 1059 volume
harvest 8051 volume
2 small cargo drums on the sides of 219 volume each.
fridge
1 Fuel Tank
Armor Locker
Oxygen Station
O2 tank
Gatling Cannon
1 RCS

Thrusters can all be upgraded for significant extra thrust once you have the cobalt.
There's also room for 2 extra thrusters at the back if needed. 2 front and all rear thrusters can be replaced with large thrusters at the cost of some cargo space.

Place reserved for:
Jump Drive
Shield
Pentaxid Tank
Generator upgrade.
Extra O2 Tank
Extra Fuel tank
T2 and T3 CPU Extenders
1 Extra RCS
Constructor

If you don't need some of that, feel free to add container extensions in their place. For example, if warp drive isn't needed, this ship can have over 10k harvest cargo capacity.

It's also simple to add 2 extra drills on both sides of the cockpit for extra mining power at the cost of visibility. While at that, also add some container extensions to keep the looks right. One of the snapshots above shows an example with extra drills added.

Further upgrades might need more power than one advanced small generator can provide. The container extension blocks below both fuel tanks as well as one block in front of them can be replaced with extra generators if desired. Alternatively, they could be installed at the back instead of an extra pair of thrusters,
