The Rigger is a fast medium sized mining ship. Although it has a limited autopilot and crash avoidance systems, it is mainly designed to be used in the safe zone. The blueprint is provided for free. All in game tips (in-game name Egomaniac) are appreciated. However support will be limited but I will try my best.
Please give the ship a "like" if you use and enjoy the ship. Designed by EGOTech. Join the EGOTech Discord server.

The Rigger (v1.2.0) is also available to buy in game at Hangar Showroom 2 of Rando 7 Ship Shop at stations with Rando ship shops.

Should emphasize the richly instrumented cockpits are state-of-the-art. Now I am modding a Rigger to a gunship with partly concealed weapons.
It is a pain in Starbase to keep the ship fast, as minor durability problems which are hard to fix (bolting the hell out of it does hardly help ever) are hostile to any additional sculpturing plating.

Amazing features! Has almost anything which is existing in the world of endos and Yolol! In the civilian purpose section, that is.

Love the ship! One big note as per most recent update:
Material Scanner will not point toward rangefinder without small tweak.
1. Rename 'sp' to 'spc' on the material scanner turret itself
2. Add 'spc' to one of the four memory chips
3. Update line 4 of the scanner yolo to:
d=:Distance+x if:Distance>0thend=y/d*r end :spc=dThe reason I could find is the speedometer. The speedometer part has a device parameter sp. I don't know if this is stock, or from a recent update to the game or to the ship blueprint. But, this was the issue causing the material scanner to pitch up and down. I left the pre-existing variable 'sp' on the memory card because I wasn't sure if it had other uses in other yolo code.

You are an absolute legend. Ship was easy enough to get the mats for and works amazing.
Very few things I could say are odd, the biggest one being that after turning off the "Avoidance" system all the range finders stay on but for some, that might be wanted. I feel with the avoidance system off though, they are not doing anything at that point so the yolol could just turn them off when the button is not active. Easy enough change to make though.
Power management seems perfectly fine and I don't seem to ever need to throw the ship into overdrive or increase cooling at all.
Everything is pretty well accessible except the propellant tanks but that is okay since you shouldnt need to really access those anyway.
The manual laid out for the ship was very well done and very helpful as well.
Overall amazing work for a free blueprint.

Stick_Bernard, thanks for your feedback!
1. Agree here, changed it to Aegisium cause thought could save on weight but it didn't make much difference then didn't bother changing it back. Which is why the FAQ in the ship manual I addressed this from the beginning. Since there is access to the blueprint, material of the plates can be easily changed.
2 & 3: I got similar reports about this but I didn't experience this myself. But ship was built when they switched from WarpClass to StrengthFactor so there might be some discrepancy there. I will try and increase the StrengthFactor in future versions. As I design more ships I am learning more about this so definitely something that can be improved on.
4: This is due to YOLOL optimisation, it runs through the whole cycle before checking if the button is toggled on instead of each step. I am sure it is possible to squeeze the checks in but I am still learning about advanced YOLOL tricks. But I will keep this in mind.
5. Thanks!

Have been checking this ship out in the ship editor and there's a few things that stand out as odd.
1. Big one: 100% of the plating on the ship is coded Aegesium. For a safe zone miner that makes no sense, and is really expensive in terms of ore.
2. Some of the batteries and crates and propellant tanks have low durability at max mass. Improving the bolting on just 4 batteries, 4 ore crates, and 2 propellant tanks improved the warp / strength rating by 50%.
3. The strength rating for the blueprint was around 1.0, not 1.5. Easily fixed via the improvements in 2 above.
4. The mining lasers continue quite a while after the 'Lasers' button is turned off, both with pulse and without. Feels like this takes longer / uses more energy than it needs to.
5. Automining laser pattern is good and the ship controls are easy to understand and work with.

Absolutely amazing ship. Can't wait to see what you might make next.

Amazing ship... all of his ships. He is obviously a programmer. Great job

This is an amazing ship! Worth every stack to build. I have to say thanks to the creator as well. Kudos to you for making this an enjoyable game by giving away the BP for free. If I see you in game, Im buying you a beer.
