Sorry fellas life has been tough and I don't have time to play or update mods. Anyone is free to update them to 6.0 or future patches; I don't mind, just give me credit for original mod.
Hi buddy, Shuy 900 is the best transporter that exists in the game. Unfortunately does not work with V6.0. Can't you do an update for V6.0. It`s have not shield and drive (to Speed m/s My English is so bad!) Greetings... Xlomp
HiOne quick question Will you keep the mod up to date if the mod no longer works. 5.0 and the new DLC is not far away. And this mod is my lifesaver. Super Mod
Dear rambo99jose, last year, I just wanted to test this ship. So I had 3, and I did question about the speed. Today, the entire distribution chain of my Empire depends on this mod. Tried to manually halt these ships before update 5.0. But I have 118 of them running. please keep this mod working on 5.0
EDIT: no issue on update 5.0 for hauler (universal cargo ship) version
hm..... well... i cant dock on the ship... i bounce off of it, every time i try to land. Landing is like every, but it seems theres an invisible Wall or something like that...
this mod is almost perfect. if you could please reduce the amount of drones or take the drones out all together since there is an issue with drones it would be the only ship mod i needed. could a ship still mine gas without drones? i love this mod but i cant use it because i keep running into drone issues. i just want them to do there job as efficiently as possible. please update this awesome mod! :-)
With the insane amount of drone capacity it has having only 2 docking spots really makes it do some weird things(get 200 active drones and watch them undock and then instantly dock again for 30 min) cargo drones can launch all at once and come back all at once but mining/gas drones just sit there idle as their brothers dock and undock forever and ever
So i was wondering is there a way to add more docking ports to the ship? for faster docking and undocking or would that require major model changes or what?
Mining drones not really meant to work in the hundreds, i just released that ship version because someone requested it. I created mining Raptor900k to test the launch+retrieval and even with its 12 small docks it wasn't working fast. Did couple more tests then gave up on making mining better. OOS mining doesn't even launch drones (fast calculation) so doesn't really affect mining rate.
Hmm thats a bit sad for my hopes of me spending most of my time just mining away by hand if only the drones launched like the cargo drones did as they seem to work fine in big swarms when theres lots of random stuff laying everywhere in space
The biggest thing i think that holds back mining drones being good is their silly docking and undocking requiring small docks(although it makes sense from a lore perspective) given that cargo drones work fine in big quantities(biggest one i got so far was 179 cargo drones picking up random items in space while i had a bunch of other ships mining nearby) but that would require quite a bit of work for those drones to be the same as cargo drones :(
But i guess for now il just stick to a uni miner which just sits idle as i fly around in a m class that i just dock once full
I deleted all my miners and just made a massive warehouse. Cheat filled it and let universal traders distribute to everyone in the galaxy. Game also runs much better :D
In my quest to find something that isnt doing(as tempting as it is) that i came across a mod called XL Mining Ships and the stork ships launch their entire drone fleet in a manner of seconds i havent tested the other ones just yet
My guess is that those ships have launchtube's next to their docks i have asked that mod author what he did for that as if it is something like that then i do think that something like that could make the shu miners be more effective at their mining especially when coupled with another mod that can increase the collectors their flying speed(its a gods blessing)
Speed yes but these ships will launch 10+ at a time from launch tubes vs using docks at 2 at a time on the shu's
As for collecting launched drones there is the mod called "go home drone" which allows one to increase the collection range of drones which solves the forever waiting for drones to come back
But i will have a look if increasing the shu's launch speed of collectors helps with increasing the launch rate if it does that will do wonders
Edit: I did some testing and the speed doesnt seem to matter with the initial undocking below is a short clip of the difference of the 2 just to give a short comparison if even needed

Either way they still make for great miners for if you wanna do something but gotta go afk set the ship speed to 20m/s and just watch the swarm work its way through all the debries
Tried Better Docking to Ships with edit for XS ships, but they still pile up waiting on dock. Go home drone seems to be working great after rooving delay. Downside is the miner has to be in visual range from you else game fast calculates. I guess you could roleplay escort your miners lol.
This awesome. So I have no clue what I am doing lol. Any chance you can add mining lasers to it. I can mine gas with it but cant mine minerals. Then it could be used as a freighter, gas miner, or a mineral miner.

"Tested" on the Miner Version.
well.... help? xD
Set unit to 0 if you don't want drones.

Any chance to add the Terran Faction to it? Because if you play Terran the Argon´s not really friendly^^

@BlackDracis added shuy900km which is a universal miner (but not perfect)
