Raptor900k Experimental Miners (universal - gas - mineral)

WTF BRO?!? WHY U DO DIS?!? ...

... The raptor has 21 small ship docks (fast drone launch) and a gazillion turrets, and I thought it would make one hell of a mining ship, but kind of disappointed to be honest

These are 3 experimental mining ships based on the Raptor, with 900k m^3 storage:

• []Raptor900k   = Universal miner + container storage (can be a universal transport ship in an emergency)

  []Raptor900ks = Mineral miner with solid storage + mining turrets (need at least 1 mining turret + mining drones to mine)

  []Raptor900kl  = Gas miner with liquid storage

  • []These ships are meant for NPC mining out-of-sector (doesn't work right with manual mining). Seemed to work fine with expert automine.

    []The gas miner should mine 2x-3x more than a Magnetar (didn't test mineral miner)

    []You can have medium and large mining turrets (didn't compare mining speeds). Can have a bunch of defensive turrets and just couple mining (keep NPC safe).

    []Mining drones don't seem to scale out-of-sector,  800 vs 20 is same mining speed (give the ship a bunch of defenders and repair for lolz-level safety)

    []Ship Travel speed affected out-of-sector mining speed. With double the current travel speed I was getting 4x as a Magnetar, but i scaled it down so it's only semi-ludicrously fast, still about 3x throughput of a Magnetar.

    Vanilla NPC factions can use it (you can change which if you want:  <owner faction)

    To install copy to ".\X4 Foundations Cradle of Humanity\extensions" and enable in game.
