HERCULES Miner Collector (RE)

The Hercules T4 SV was designed to heavy cargo lifting and auto miner harvesting. It has Warp capabilities and is useful to harvest several auto miners in the same trip. (watch more pictures in vanilla version of the ship)

The ship itself has only two small cargo boxes, but it has a big butt hangar created to perfectly fit the Heavy Cargo Brick, that is other SV with 60K of cargo capacity, that was also uploaded to the workshop. You need both ships to use the Hercules properly. The rear hangar shutters should be opened to accommodate the auxiliar heavy cargo brick SV. The docking pads of the heavy cargo brick are placed on the left side of the SV, and it docks in the Hercules internal lateral wall.

The frontal "C" shape of the ship allows the pilot to accommodate the vessel all around the miner, and a lateral door at the left of the cockpit can be used to harvest and refuel the auto miner without leaving the ship, avoiding any dangers of the surroundings.

Several powerful thrusters are placed un the bottom and back of the ship allowing it to handle a lot of weight. The powerful thrusters can be too much if the ship has no cargo on board, so you can switch on and off the "Hi Performance" state in the control panel to keep control in both situations.

A constructor, detector, a fridge and oxygen console are also provided. The ship has a shield for defense, and a few minigun turrets to take down any predators near the landing area, but is all made of carbon composite and you should avoid enemy fire always that you can.

Several spotlights are placed, allowing the night shift of cargo lifting too.
