Atlas Vertical Miner Kit

I'll try to upload a video later...

The vertical miner is a very odd looking ship that has one function.

It is parked over an ore deposit and has the mechanic where it can be tipped over very easily (on purpose) so that it is face down on TOP of the ore deposit.

Simply press fire and within 10 seconds there is a hole 30x50x50 and you have the ore in your container.

For any mines which are not insanely deep, this is the fastest way to mine.

Once done collecting ore, simply hit the 'Auto Rotate'' button normally an 'O' and it stands back up ready to be driven.

This is the Kit meaning it has everything you need except mining lasters. The reason for that is that you can reuse the lasers if you like, and leave the relatively cheap kit on each planet or moon. When you come back, simply re-add the mining lasters to the points marked, and mine again. The size of the miner precludes it being placed on anything but the largest CVs.

The ship has a additional drive positions on the side, which converts it from a very wide ship to a very long and skinny ship for actually navigating terrain to and from mining sites.

There are no defences and everything is exposed. This is meant to be spawned in at location and then driven to areas that have been cleared of enemies already.

Fastest way to mine in the game!

NOTE: Latest version has fewer lasers but does larger area.
