** original design concept inspired by liftallthepizzas's Drill Sergeant http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822525565 , and Havoc's Badger version (now unavailable, but revamped into the Tassie Devil, found here - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=827700987 ) as a foundation / platform to build upon and made some some crazy improvements here and there until it morphed into what we have here. Huge thanks, kudos, and credits to Lift Pizzas and Havoc for their work on the Drill Sergeant, I'm recycling my design back into the community for members to use as I have used theirs in turn, so everyone customize the vehicle to your liking and enjoy! o/

*** Mining tips :

If the vehicle rolls excessively or is top-heavy from adding a turret or a drill turret, perhaps try using the vehicle without a turret, as it is really meant to be a utility vehicle with decent handling, it is not meant for combat.

If the ship rolls badly for you, try to stay on level ground, and "dish mine", carving out a bowl in the terrain, or tunnel through and mine a flat area to fly on top of, as the ship responds better that way, and stay at full hover height for best results.

Use the O key at full hover height (no not the zero key) , or hold the O key to upright and level out the ship if it flips or rolls badly. You can remap the O key to Z or X in the controls settings, or perhaps a mouse button. This helps a great deal with the fixed mining mode. Do the shift + button combo to switch between fixed and free mining modes.

Repair the ship's parts often, (see damage readings in the control panel) it seems that some game mechanics involving damage alter how the ship handles a great deal, so keep it repaired if possible as you go.

This vehicle is not meant for combat and it is not meant to have heavy defense capability, it is a utility vehicle desgined to serve a single purpose - mining.
