Usage

Flying the Ship

Pilot Console

Interface Function
ForwardThrust Current forward thrust, maximum of 10,000 units
Cruise Activates cruise control, forward thrust will not reset to zero unless turned down.
Turtle, TurtleRate Activates turtle mode which sets forward thrust to a maximum limit of TurtleRate (percent) of full thrust.
Sloth, Sensitivity Activates sloth mode which sets yaw and pitch thrust to a maximum limit of Sensitivity (percent) of full thrust.
Profiles Adjusts preset flight profiles. See Flight Profiles.
Aim Reduces the response time of key presses for pitch and yaw.
Speed Current speed in metres per second.
StrengthFactor Current strength of ship. May fluctuate as ore crates are filled. Anything below 1.0 means ship is damaged.
Transponder Toggle & Ping Transponder controls, Toggle turns on and off ship transponder while Ping will activate transponder for three seconds
Distance & Range Distance for rangefinder. Range toggles the rangefinders.
Scan, Material, & Credits Material scanning controls. See Scanning Asteroids.
Approach & Load Cargo loading controls. See Loading Asteroids.
Timer See Timer.

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 10,000,000 units.
Battery Shows current battery charge of the batteries, maximum of 10,000 units.
Generator Current generator rate, maximum of 100%.
Min Generator Rate & Min Gen Toggle and sets minimum generator rate. See Managing Power and Fuel.
Fuel Rod 1 to Fuel Rod 10 Total fuel remaining on fuel rods, maximum of 300,000 units each.
Shutdown Will turn off all fuel chambers thus shutting down generators.

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.

Scanning Asteroids

Scanner

Scan turns on the material scanner. The beam has a range of 100m. Point the beam at an asteroid and Material will show the materials in the asteroid along with the volume of each in stacks. Credits will show the estimated amount of credits you will get for the asteroid if you drop it off at Origin stations. The calculation is 158.8% (worked out this with testing) of the cost of ore of the vendor price. This only has data for safe zone materials. The total volume of the asteroid in Mv is also shown.

Loading Asteroids

Pilot Left Console

Interface Function
Cargo Load, Toggle & Distance Individual cargo loading controls.
Cargo Scan & Reset Individual cargo scanning controls.
HoldTop, HoldRight & HoldLeft Individual cargo estimated credits.
Total Credits (k) Total estimated credits currently held in all cargo holds.
Unload Turns off all cargo lock beams.

Approach an asteroid by pointing the one of the cargo rangefinders at an asteroid and activating Load on the specific cargo compartment to approach. This will guide the ship to around 6m of the asteroid. Once the asteroid is in place the cargo lock beam should activate itself.

All these can be done with the automated Load function on the pilot center console. This will load asteroid in the order of top, bottom right and finally bottom left. Point the correct rangefinder at the asteroid you wish to load and activate Load. This is activate the Load of the correct compartment.

Once the asteroid is locked, the asteroid will be scanned and the estimated credits value of the asteroid will be displayed in the relevant HoldTop, HoldRight and HoldLeft. The Total Credits for all hold will also be shown.

Unload will turn of all cargo lock beams and also reset all hold scans.

Known Issues

  • For version 1.0.0: Ship can get stuck in load sequence if Load is deactivated before completing. To reset, activate all lock beams and activate Load for all compartments. Then all lock beams can be deactivated.
  • When asteroids are loaded more on one side, the ship can become unbalanced and appraoch will not work as well. Manual appraoch would probably be better.
  • Currently there are no navigation features but will possibly add ISAN and Compass in the future if this ship becomes useful to Endos

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I make from hauling safe zone asteroids?

Here is an estimated breakdown of 468Mv (T10) asteroids from the safe zone I got during testing.

Material Volume Credits
Ice/Vokarium 486Mv 371k
Ajatite/Charodium 486Mv 631k
Valkite/Bastium 486Mv 272k

Hexxer

v1.1.0 20211130203152_1.jpg Asteroid Capacity 6 x T7 Loading Speed Moderate

The Hexxer is a ship for hauling small asteroids, designed to be used in the safe zone. It uses six tractor beams to pull asteroids into six compartments of cargo lock beams in a hex pattern. It has load automation to approach and load asteroids in the right order to balance the ship as much as possible as well as a material scanner that gives estimated credits for selling the asteroids.
