SB-14x DB - Mining Torpedo

Description
The SB-14x DB is a short range, automatic mining torpedo that can carry up to 14,700.00L of mined materials each. Although it's a short range torpedo, it can still be launched from long distances as it will automatically control it's speed to avoid any collision damage, but will take a fairly long travel time. Reaching the desired spot, it will progressively mine ahead until remotely controlled and halted. It can be switched to its reverse mode to get out by itself by spinning out and backing down automatically, or it can be manually operated for retrieval. It comes with a sorter and an ejector for getting rid of unwanted ores as it keeps the desired ones inside it's cargo containers.
Once the drilling process is complete, each individual torpedo can be remotely controlled and carried back to the Atterax for either unloading their cargo inside the Atterax's internal cargo holders, or for being attached back onto the launching pylons.

It is meant to be used with an Atterax drillbore torpedo launcher craft

MUST READ!
*Each torpedo needs to be fueled with uranium ingots before launch or they will be inoperant as they would have no power source, the reactors access is on top of the torpedo and are very easy to spot.
**Although the torpedoes control their speed to avoid collision damage, firing them too close to an asteroid may result in damage or destruction.

How to use:
Upon launch, it will automatically be named after "Small Grid xxxx". To control it, select it in the terminal menu and use its remote control block, and then chose the options on the action bar that contains controls for stopping, drilling, or reversing. The REAR camera is the main viewpoint so it is easier to get out of holes. Refer to the screenshots for more info.

Update Notes:
v1.1
-Added an extra reactor, more power is required after the 1.180.0 update

Let me know of any issues!

Amazing, it would be nice if they could return to Atterax surroundings on their own when the cargo space is full. So you don't need to monitor them. But, i'm probably asking for too much. Anyway, good job again.
