Description
The Mk 3 Retriever is the standard issue, medium capacity miner ship that is extremely versatile and complete, due to the relatively small size for its cargo capacity, it can fit most hangars with ease, and is provided with both connectors and ejectors for transfering ores. It is capable of deep core mining or simply punching through an asteroid end to end due to its drill displacement and design, allowing it to continusly mine ahead in a perfectly uniform way without ever getting stuck.
Vanilla, does not use any mod, buildable with a projector, survival ready.

Note on LCDs
This model uses Automatic LCDs 2 by MMaster to provide speed/cargo/power and other informations on the displays. You do not need to download or do anything, but If you want to customize your displays, follow this link: http://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822950976

Yes. I did a refit to turn it into a H2 miner. I didnt publish it.

Hey there HO? Sorry I'm a bit rusty, does it have anything to do with hydrogen?
Zaryt 21 Jul, 2021 @ 12:05am 
Love these miners. Will there be HO variations?

@kirzy thanks! I'm sorry I haven't built a large grid mining vessel, yet.

Do you have a miner with large drill? your work is amazing

Nice job

@F15RegalEagle There were just some minor improvements to as how it comes right after it is built with the projector. (e.g. a fresh built comes with the connector turned off) And while i intend to upgrade the Mk3 to be in conformity with the Mk4 version, the Mk3 will remain the standard design for the general mining operation for its size and agility in comparison to Mk4 (mostly just LCD displays viewable from inside will be added later on, patch notes will be also provided) . Your current Mk3 is still gold, you don't need to build a new one.

Hey what did you change in the updated blueprint? I've always like your Retriever crafts asthetics and am kinda curious

Very nice. i will add it to my miner's collection. I allways like to have a bunch of different miner types to fit different types of hangar bays. Good job. o/
