Description
The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus), colloquially tatou, ocarro, tatu-canastra or tatú carreta, is the largest living species of armadillo. It lives in South America, ranging throughout as far south as northern Argentina. The giant armadillo prefers termites and some ants as prey, and often consumes the entire population of a termite mound.

Power. You want it. Now you can have it. All of it. SSW introduces the Tatou, a designed-for-Reforged, level 20 SV Miner that comes standard with:

Ten (10) Laser Drills
32k Harvest storage
Four (4) Minigun turrets
Two (2) Gatling guns
3k Ammo storage (30k 15mm rounds should be enough to chew through all the drones)
Three 250 SU cargo boxes, labeled and color-coded for Fuel, Pentaxid, and Misc Supplies
Jump drive
Standard SV Shield
Long Range Radar
Over 1 kt of cargo lift at 1g
Easily 5g capable
Standard survival gear (Trauma and Oxygen Stations, Fridge, Mobile Constructor)

It's hard to state how awesome this miner is at hoovering up entire ore deposits in harsh environments, you simply have to try it yourself. Massive down and front thrust allows for mining at all angles and load conditions. There are two spots for Aux cores or Quantum CPUs if you pull the cockpit - upgrade to Heavy Shield (accessible by pulling the block behind the Fridge) or add some Industrial Multitools above and flanking the Gatling guns for massive salvage opportunities. Or build two and replace all the drills for salvage Multitools on your second.

While the frontal area is steel construction, the body is mostly carbon covering a cargo extender interior so wild combat is discouraged but it will easily defend itself from all sorts of drones. Plenty of spotlights included to keep that new v1.6 darkness at bay. P menu switch to control thrust included for efficiency.

For a test drive of the Tatou or any other SSW creation, stop by your local dealer or contact us at 866.456.SLUUUURP today!

*Huge thanks to larkvi for additional testing and feedback*

Any chance of re-fit / re-balance for an RE2 version please ?

Most beautiful ship for me! Reminds me a bit of "The Last Starfighter". Great movie when I was a child.

@StopDontComeBack Is it possible you're using an older RE savegame? Works ok in my test games and haven't heard any complaints on the Anvil this or previous seasons.

Ahoy - would love to use this ship but I have a "forbidden block" message. I looked at previous messages here but couldn't find a solution.

Single player with Reforged installed.

@Derek54u Nope, this is the top tier SV miner in my lineup. I find the Mhanga more useful as a "daily driver", but the Tatou is my go-to for dedicated high-g mining.

Was this build superseded by one of your newer high-G miners?

Superb craft - made a salvager version as well - added 4 lateral thrust and 4 rcs to both (for stationary turning) still both within cpu. Amazing job, and like others found my mid game craft that I really needed.

I think I've just found my high g mining combo. This paired with the Cassias (with 6 extra medium thrusters) will do just the trick. I believe they're shown together in one of the pics here. Love your stuff, keep it coming.

And as always, thanks for sharing.

forbidden blocks are normaly because of more drills then server allows.. or game does.. just creative take some off before you spawn in your game.. my worrie is with the 16ms side thrust.. rememmber prefabinfo or pi blueprintName

Single player, v1.7
Makes sense on the max laser drills.
