thought about putting 2 more welders on that ship at all? i know you not keeping it like that, but it is a big help on the trips back and forth. thats mad to see you putting your tanks out like that, everyone always cares about covering them up to much. looks good mate.
i need to get a computer for this game as xbox you only have 10000 pcu. this one base and your drilling platforms would be almost half of what we can build on it.
have crashed my ship several times due to thrusters turned off also... since that every ship I build have event controller which switch thrusters/batts/tanks/lights/ore/etc... off/on when (un)docked....
yeah iv done that as well iv ended up just putting everything on a timer block and switch everything off recharge and stockpile in 1 button. I'll still have the light turn off and on when enter and exit the cockpit as it is so nice having something happen when you get in and out. bit of an after thought you could add the event controller to turn everything off and on when you connect and disconnect from the lock so it's just one button to lock in and do all your shutdown system..
I have also now been using the event controller to turn on thrusters on my miner when it gets too heavy so iv figured out how many I can fly on. then just have the other turn on when in a good cargo full. then turns them off when I connect to the base. been saving on power and hydro
