Usage

To enter the ship, there is a button on bottom of the ship that will open Hatch. Once inside you can also open and close the cockpit glass Canopy. Buttons for these are available in the pilot left side consoles.

Flying the Ship

Pilot Center Console

Interface Function
Speed Current speed in metres per second.
ForwardThrust Current forward thrust, maximum of 10,000 units
Throttle Current throttle level, maximum of 100 percent
Cruise Activates cruise control, forward thrust will not reset to zero unless turned down.
Turtle Activates turtle mode which sets forward thrust to a maximum limit of TurtleRate of full thrust.
Sloth Activates the low sensitvity mode of pitch and yaw by limiting thrust. Use the Sensitivity switch to set the maximum thrust rate of sloth mode.
Profiles Adjusts preset flight profiles. See Flight Profiles.
Aim Reduces the response time of key presses for pitch and yaw.
Guide, FrontRight, FrontLeft, BackRight & BackLeft Guide activates rangefinders at each corner of the base of the ship. Each repsective corner shows distance to the ground. Red warning lights flash when ground is less that 5 metres.
Range & Distance Activates forward rangefinders, with Distance showing distance to object detected by center rangefinder.
Mine, Advance Mode, Advance Thrust, Advance Time & Min Advance Distance Mining controls. See Mining.
Warnings, SafeZone & StrengthFactor Warnings for being outside safe zone, ship damage as well as low fuel or propellant. See Warnings Panel.
Transponder Toggle & Ping Transponder controls, Toggle turns on and off ship transponder while Ping will activate transponder for three seconds
Timer See Timer.
Odometer See Odometer.

See Flight Systems on how to fly the ship and use its flight systems.

Managing Power, Fuel and Propellant

Pilot Right Console

Interface Function
Propellant Total propellant remaining in propellant tanks, maximum of 96,000,000 units.
PropTime Time and distance remaining of propellant based on current usage. Distance is calculated from speed.
FuelTime Time and distance remaining of fuel based on current usage. Distance is calculated from speed.
WithBackup Same as FuelTime but takes into account backup rods available. Use the switch for Backup Rods to set the number of backup rods available. As standard there are 24 extra rods.
Fuel Rod 1 to Fuel Rod 12 Fuel remaining on fuel rods in individual fuel chambers, maximum of 300,000 units for each.
Generator Current generator rate.
Min Gen & Min Generator Rate Toggle and sets minimum generator rate. See Managing Power and Fuel.
Shutdown Will turn off all fuel chambers thus shutting down generators.
Battery Shows current battery charge of the batteries, maximum of 10,000 units.
HeatTransferRate Current heat transfer rate of the heat sinks, maximum of 100%.
Flow In & Flow Out Toggle flow modes of resource bridges. See Refilling Propellant.
Lights Turns on and off internal lights.
Canopy Opens or closes glass canopy.
Hatch Opens or closes ship entry hatch.

Managing Power and Fuel

See Power and Fuel Systems on how to manage ship power and refuel.

Refilling Propellant

See Propellant Systems on how to refill propellant.

Mining

Mining Console

Activate Lasers to turn on the mining lasers which will automatically sweep from side to side. Switching Advance Mode to Manual or Auto will slowly move the ship forward to dredge the surface.

Advance has the following options which can be adjusted:

  • Advance Time will adjust the period to wait before each advance in seconds
  • Advance Thrust will adjust the amount of forward thrust when advancing
  • Min Advance Distance will adjust the minimum distance in metres when advancing. If not met and Advance Mode is in Auto mode, the Advance Thrust will be increased.

Collect turns on the four ore collectors.

Mine will activate automated mining, which will activate Lasers and Collect plus set Advance Mode to Auto.

TIP: Turn on Min Gen and allow the generators to ramp up before starting to mine. Continous use of the lasers and collectors at the same time requires a Min Generator Rate of around 85%.

NOTE: For safety, lasers will turn off if the total fuel is less that 2,000 units.
