About this mod
A Split commander walks into a bar, gets drunk and decides to become a miner. He creates 3 prototype miners with cutting edge space-pokeball storage technology to fit 900k units in each ship.

NOTE: The Raptor was never meant to be used as a mining ship so the NPC behavior with it can be a bit wonky. Works ok with some default behaviors but not others. Save game before using in case they don't work for your needs. Each ship is a separate mod.
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:
[Behavior Notes]
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.

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
[Behavior Notes]
- 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)
