OPC Rokiclaw - Medium Mining Ship

NO MODS | OPTIONAL SCRIPTS | SURVIVAL READY CONTAINS: DLC | PARTIAL SUBGRIDS

Due to growing needs and production capacity, Consolidation is gradually upgrading its ships. Following Turbot, which replaced utilitarian drones, it was time to upgrade the fleet of mining ships. The old Ferret, which had served the outer colonies well before the formation of the OPC, had exhausted their technical capabilities. And while the Consolidation was preparing these ships for sale to buyers interested in a cheap mining fleet, they were replaced by Rokiclaw - a new generation of space mining ships.

Rokiclaw - a ship developed by OPC as part of the expansion of asteroid belt mining within Consolidation systems. being the middle model in the line of the new fleet, Rokiclaw is primarily designed for excavation operations, for which the front mining installation is used, but despite the fact that due to its size, this ship is not able to independently dive deep into asteroids in a direct course (instead, it must gradually move as "ticker"), the mining drone included in its composition can do this instead, and a special place for the drone pilot will allow you to take on board an additional crew member, thanks to this, there is no need to distract the pilot of the ship from his tasks.

An few important point about Survival Ready: I love survival and therefore the ship is primarily designed for use in survival mode, but there are several subgrids on board. They construction in survival is not mandatory (we are talking about landing gear, but since the ship is designed for space travel, it can safely use the connector for the dock and the overall design of the ship provides no chassis), but for those wishing to use the landing below there are simple instructions on how to collect and prepare their own chassis

HOW TO CREATE LANDING GEARS:

FRONT:
[olist]
[*] Place rotor to front hinge
[*] Set it name as "Rotor"
[*] Set it lower limit to 0 and upper limit to 90 (be careful about the location of the block, you may have other values. It is important that the difference between the lower and upper limit is no more than 90 degrees)
[*] Set it torque to 10kNm and braking to 29 kNm, velocity to 5rpm and displacement to 4.5cm
[*] Place Landing Gear to rotor top
[*] Add Rotor and Hinge to "Landing Gear Front" group (or update if group exists)
[*] Add Landing Gear to "Landing Gears" group
[/olist]

REAR:[olist]
[*] Place Pistons on the rear hinges
[*] Set their names as "Piston LG-L" and "Piston LG-R" (where -R and -L is Right or Left)
[*] Set their velocity at 0.5m/s and maximum distance 2m
[*] Place on their top hinges
[*] Set lower limit of hinges to -30 or 0 (depends on which side you install the block on) and upper limit to 0 or 30
[*] Set Torque to 3.1 MNm , Braking to 6MNm and Velocity to 4rpm
[*] Set their names as "Hinge LG-R2" and "Hinge LG-L2" (where R2 and L2 is Right or Left)
[*] Place Landing Gears to top of hinges
[*] Update or create groups "Landing Gear Rear Hinges" and "Landing Gear Rear Pistons"
[*] Add all hinges to "Landing Gear Rear Hinges" and all pistons to "Landing Gear Rear Pistons"
