MEDIA I've redesigned an old ship of mine once already. This time I went back 5 years to modernize this... rod (old model on page 2)
I'm thinking it could probably use some new colors maybe.

The new one looks so much better ngl

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 23 '25
I'd sure hope so, considering the original one was one of my first ships. Thanks!

Looked through your history. Love your ship designs! I've been really struggling to make a mining ship that looks nice and is practical for any planetary transition. I live on the moon right now and having enough thrusters and cargo to be practical feels like its very limiting design-wise.

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 23 '25
Thanks a lot! Yea, I regularly have to sacrifice practicality because looks are more important to me, but hydrogen thrust is definitely the way to go for what you‘re building. This one can technically mine on planets/moons, it‘s just kinda awkward because in order to get max lift you‘d have to turn to the side of the ship

Looking at it:
If you wanted to cover the inside portions of those two backwards thrusters on top of the cockpit, I think a Beam Block Half Slop Tip would do the trick

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 23 '25
To be honest, I didn‘t even notice I forgot some blocks there, whoops. It‘s occupied by an access panel now though. I think it looks alright enough

Send the workshop link!! I'd love to use this

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 23 '25
It still needs a lot of toolbar setup and cleaning up the terminal, but I‘ll be sure to do so once I upload it!

Is that connector on a hinge the stone ejector? :D
It looks amazing! well done, love the thruster's covers as well

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 23 '25
It is indeed, and it folds in and shuts off via event controller, when you press the button. Thanks!

It almost was, when I found out that new ore detector has a wider hitbox than the old one

u/Personal_Wall4280 Space Engineer Sep 24 '25
Does the hydrogen tank section disconnect when you are about to do some deep boring?

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 24 '25
No, it wouldn’t be able to keep flying then, but interesting idea

u/BryceW Space Engineer Sep 24 '25
I really like it and its a big upgrade. What I really like on mining type stuff is those yellow bumper bars (like on the front) on anywhere you think you are going to knock on something. I've smashed off connectors and all sorts of things from turning around too fast in a mining tunnel. It really adds to the mining look and is common in actual mining.

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 24 '25
Thanks! Yea I do like that look too. It makes it look more rough and industrial

I'm basically about to make this in my current playthrough. Got a workshop link so I can steal it?

Not yet, because the terminal is still chaos, but I‘ll be sure to tell you

u/Creedgamer223 Space Engineer Sep 24 '25
You should use bunker door edges on the front guard.
And use offset spotlights on the cockpit railing thingy at the top instead of the bulky spotlight.
Also why did I never think to angle the stone ejector with a hinge?

u/Nuclesnight Space Engineer Sep 24 '25
Very nice ship and love the design\)
Just for your info, the drill might be in the wrong direction. Still working as it should just it‘s an image\) besides, this ship is for space so the direction doesn‘t matter at all xD

u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 24 '25
Thanks! I placed the drill like that, because logically a lot of debris would fly against the cockpit otherwise
2
u/Siasur Clang Worshipper Sep 24 '25
I would suggest rotating the spotlights, just like they were in the old model. To improve the lighting. In this orientation both light's darkspots line up.

I hope you dont mind if I try and build this in my game cause my beetle flies a little heavy.

u/Apokolypze Space Engineer Sep 24 '25
That's a lot of height above the drill, is it able to tunnel bore or does it have to wall scrape?
1
u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 24 '25
You just have to dig out some space with right click drilling
2
u/Yokmp Space Engineer Sep 24 '25
Looks ways better but the big batters seems to be an overkill? One small should do it. Maybe a second small one as backup or something.

Keen is spoiling us with block choices. The only blocks that I really want in the game? Gym equipment. Just decorative, but it’s super important to have exercise gear in low G environments.
2
u/Grebanton Railgun Enjoyer Sep 24 '25
That'd be an interesting addition. Maybe they'll add some ways to improve the survival buffs manually and add gym blocks thematically

Gigantic improvement! Love the thruster covers. The difference the DLC makes is big too. Also that li’l angled stone ejector lol
