You can use gyroscopes to solve this problem. I use override on my actual mining ship to prevent any accidental rotation, but I guess turning is still a problem.

The irony here is immediately I see plenty of room for at least 6 or 8 refineries behind the ship, which can process the stone as fast as it is being mined at a moderate pace. Attach some ejectors just in case as well, and maybe a pair of jump drives behind the batteries so the amount of batteries can be more justified, and suddenly the ship isn't so bad I think...
@FurryEskimo
9 ай бұрын
I actually tried that, and did it. The refineries require more nuance than you’d expect, as they can easel get gummed up with junk, but the real issue is the power draw. I ended up having a few low-power refineries, a few faster ones when there’s excess power to burn, general purpose ore storage, and dedicated storage for stone and ice. Once the stone or ice became full I’d decouple the storage unit and leave it behind.
