Description
The Spaði XS Miner series is part of a line of vessels, designed to serve as basic, cheap but efficent tools for new established colonies.

V.M.E BASIC vessels are cheap, performance friendly ships, that were created for multiplayer-games with strict PCU-limits. They are fast and easy to build, full vanilla and don't require any DLCs, mods, scripts or subgrids.


The S.IS-BSC-05 provides a cockpit with an isolated environment and is designed to be operated in open space.


Attention! This vessels main purpose is to extract minerals from places that are easy to reach (like asteroid surfaces) and help you to reshape the terrain around your base. You can dig deep tunnels with it in order to reach deeper ore pocket too, but keep in mind that the SPADI-Series has not been optimized for this task. The single drill does not cover enough ground to make the tunnel wide enough for the whole ship. So be careful when going under ground and create wide pockets around the ore deposit to maneuver and avoid crashes leading to potential damage to the ship!

    A simple rollcage of light armor blocks can prevent damage from the thrusters, should you manage to accidently land the SPADI on the top.

Note also that the drill itself holds a large quantity of ore/ice/stone.
