    Only problem is that the rotating lasers no longer can be controlled from the ships core. Everything works except engaging the automatic mining

    The fact that salvage computers don't respond to logic signals is probably a temporary issue of the game itself though... Also, even the latest update of this ship is from Sept 2017, and it's pointed out in the "game version" field that it's fitted with classic systems only.

    It was a nice ship at its time, but it's obsolete now, similar to most of my functionality-oriented creations / most stuff in the Community Content section. I don't currently intend to refit it, because I'm not really satisfied with its overall design anymore. I might build a more modern planet miner once the new planets come out, though :)

    Anyways, thanks for reporting the issue.

    This ship looks great. I love a mining ship with a real industrial feel to it. I think the downward facing beams would be a bit of a pain in the butt to aim but I suppose it would be fine if you only mine planets. I'd love to see a variant with one big disc which flips down so that it faces forward instead.

    Thanks for the review, I'm glad you like it! - Yes, this setup can make asteroid mining frustrating, but I had a salvager specialized for planet mining in mind when I started building this (I just wish one day planet mining will be a less resource-intensive thing). But your flipping disk suggestion is a great idea, thanks, I will try to make a version like that eventually :-)
