Catch of the century Class E asteroid with ~ 90% Ore

[JZ6]

Well now i can safely say i dont need to setup ore stations when i can just build a space station out of this asteroid XD

Also i have two more asteroids on a kerbin encounter course in 60-90 days, so maybe i ll build my own ring !

That's almost as good a mass ratio as a fuel tank, you should put a big ISRU propulsion unit on it and Go Places.

just so the game doesnt delete some of your fuel mate

I second this notion, if you wanted fuel stations you can always bring in those lame class A's and then hop from one to another.

Time to get that thing into a stable orbit! That's 34 14400 tanks right there.

Back in my day we didn't have none of this new-fangled drilling. If we wanted to move an asteroid we had to move the whole thing with the fuel we brought along. Grumble grumble get off my lawn.

We never usta needa drill nothin and I ain't drillin nothin now! Darn youngsters and their new 'ideas', thinking they know it better... just give me a regular ol '67 and I'll run rings around these doohickeys of theirs!

Just a question, does having Engineers on board scale both the ISRU and the Drill in the same ratio?

And do multiple engineers stack or is the Drill/ISRU as fast as the highest leveled engineer onboard?

Wow. Never thought it was possible to find such good percentages on asteroids. I'm used to 2-5% on moons...

Yep i already have 5 more Klaw +isru + Ore tanks+ Fuel tank+Mammoth engine asteroid landers launched, and they are all due to land on E87 in a couple of days.

My end game is to use it as a interplanetary space station!

why hop when u got one E class asteriod thats equal to a lot of A?

yep at the kerbin encounter in 63 days i will fire retro grade with 6 mammoth engines to create the third moon of kerbin!

Because you have the freedom, unlike many of us, to go where you damn please. Go out there, follow your dreams! Install all the planet packs out there and then visit every single one of them!

I recommend more Rhinos instead of Mammoths as Rhinos actually have remarkable vacuum ISP though.
