Super Drills

Description
Large and small drills with triple the drilling radius. also takes 9 times as many components to build.

To answer some questions from the comments:

* it's a new block - it doesn't replace the current drill
* it looks exactly the same as the normal drill. (Meaning yes, colorizable.) Only difference is construction costs and drilling sphere radius and offset.

The point of it is so that one could have more drilling power without slowing down the game as much - since ships with a lot of drills tend to slow down the game. This fixes that without (hopefully) effecting game balance too much, by keeping the build cost in proportion.

had problems with this drill not working properly. it gtes stuck trying to drill through things. I made a 5x20 drill machine and it made about a drills worth deep in the astroid before it bottomed out and cant dig any further. there is no visible impediment.

Okay the anchor points and build box are completely out of whack, completely impossible to build anything on either side of it.

Good Conceptual design. Needs work regarding anchor point, texture, drilling radius centerpoint. With a bit more time it has excellent potential.

My bad drill radius not drill radios.

I really like this mod but I was wondering if you could move the drill radios forward as you can't attach anything to the sides/side connector. If it could be moved forward to where the drill head starts instead of encompassing the whole drill except for the back that would be awesome.

I Love the Mod does to the Drill.
But Why does it add SmallBlockOreDetector2,SmallBlockGyro2,LargeBlockGyro2 and edit SmallBlockLargeContainer,LargeBlockLargeContainer,LargeShipGrinder,SmallShipGrinder,LargeShipWelder,SmallShipWelder. those is for me not wanted parts ;)
Then it is possible to define how much power things draw i think it will be good to have it draw much more like 10-18 times ;)

i love the drill i just wish you could remold it so it looked nicer. shape it to cover more of the space it cuts out.

okay then gona take it ;3 i alredy see a mod that include this but it wasd lowering cargos container space on small ships sooo dont take it +1 ;3

Thank you sooo much. ive been very sore with the large ships drills radius. its very hard to not damage your ship with the vanella drill radius with large ships. so you have my thanks.
