thanks again for the feedback Gravedancer. I just checked the Blueprint all batteries were set to auto. it could be that the building process in survivall is doing something with the batteries or maybe there is a group that is not set up correctly. i will take a look until then i add a caution card to the discription.

The batteries are grouped, however it appears that some of them were set to "Recharge" and some to "auto" when the blueprint was created. Result is that when built, not all the batteries are operational at once if you are just using the Recharge on/off toggle. Ive built the ship multiple times in different survival worlds, and had the same issue each time. I now know to go in and manually check all the batteries to make sure they are all in the same state after completing the build in survival. Its a great design, but you definitely have to watch out for the minor glitches.

Hello Again. The batteries are all in one group it could be that the have fallen out of the group when welded in survival. i need to test it further. There where however a few Thrusters not in the "Thrusteres all" Group as the should be. I corrected it. thank you verymuch for the detailed feedback. It should all be fine now. Let me know if you need anything else.
PS: quiet remarkable how such a simple mistake sliped by me. sorry for that ;)

Thank you for your detailed Feedback Gravedancer. im just about to check the Blueprint to make sure the error gets resolved if i can verify it.

I had the same issue when it was fully loaded with ice... but I think it was battery related and also related to not all thrusters being included in the "Thruster(all)" group. So when I thought the ship was powered down, it actually still had some thrusters running, consuming battery. This was compounded by not all batteries being grouped together, so they werent all charged equally. End result was I was on my way back to base with a full load of ice, and some batteries ran dead, resulting in less power available to thrusters, which resulted in an uncontrolled descent right into the edge of my base roof (landing pad). Before some of the batteries died, it was able to lift out of the hole it was in even fully loaded with ice, so its not a lack of thrust problem (until something cuts off half the thrust)

hello Galon007 thank you for your comment. the ship should be able to lift the full Load. are all Batteries and Thrusters Build ? at what power % is it when full ?

Hi DerMakrat.
Testing some of yours ships and i love them really alot but i have issue with this miner when i load it fully with ice and ship reach 170 tons. Thrusters cant hold that mass and ship start falling down.

Hello qspin2win, thank you for your comment. im very interested what is "standard scale, proven design" ? :)

My first real ship ever is very similar to your athena 2.1 Still my go to for standard scale, proven design.

https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2110590917 next extra small interplanetary MIner

Excellent - can't wait to see them!

Hello Kam Solastor, thank you for your Comment. glad you like it. there are 5 More Miners about to realeas in the next weeks. Hope you like them to ;)

Really love your ships - building this now for my new survival world, and I can't wait to be out and mining :D

very nice

Hello Toughbeard, Thank you for yourt Comment. Im working on PAM initgration For all of my miners. thanks for the idea :) the refit is comming. until then check out my new Interplanetary Mining ship https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2021542903

Hi DerMakrat,

I am not really sure about the warning if reactors off. I use the efficient Hydrogen thrusters and engines mods so I really stopped looking for Uranium. I have not seen a single Uraniium deposit around earth since I have been playing. None of my build ever use reactors as it is not a thing to worry about in the beginning of the game.

PAM is fun to use and watch your drones fly off and come back while you sit on the couch and sit your tea :)

I always build functional but disgusting looking ships :) good stuff here M8

Hello Toughbeard thank you very much for your feedback :). The carry capacity is a compromise. with the safty and Thrust. There are 1 more Atmospheric Miner comming with more cargo space.
one question. will the no fuel waring triger if the Reactors are off?
The PAM is a Script i dont use but im willing to test it again. the standart Blueprint hase every block needed for it.
Thanks again for your feedback. I got inspired :)

it looks well built for its intended purpose and just out of the assembly line all shiny :) From the pictures just looks alittle expensive to build in survival.

For me having guns on a mining ship makes no sense but thats me. I prefer to carry ores than guns. 25K carry capacity seems a little low for the amount of resources that goes in to the ship.

If you start in earth like where there is no Uranium will constantly trigger no fuel warning with the reactors.

Since it seems to be able to go in to the tunnel it drills PAM would be a great upgrade for this.

For me a beautiful design piece for late game to build and put it on display reminding you the good old days of blood and sweat before Drill and Fill came a long :p

Subbed and up rated ;)

It would be huge If people who dislike would leave a Comment. All feedback is valid and would be very helpfull in improving the Blueprint. Thanks in advance :)

Hello tekktbman thank you for your comment. The Lcd Scrippt is loaded on the Programmable Block name LCD make sure all 2 Programmable blocks are built when building this ship. https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822950976

what is the lcd script, it doesnt seem to be on the ship when i made it

Thank you for your Comment ZEO CMF. The next Drill Ships will all Feature the LCD art

That LCD drill art on the bottom is nice.

Hello Man who can't make a username thank you very much for your Comment. You are right it Projects a aother version of the Athena. It is now corrected and should be the Athena 2.1 version by default. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your Feedback.

i believe the projector is projecting a different ship on it, other than that its a good ship

Hello Spiky-Spooks thank you for your Comment. I Hope you sir have a splendid time with it :)

A sturdy, beautiful mining ship. Well done good sir.
