'Roid Puller

[CrashTestDanny]

I read somewhere that one should try to pull rather than push asteroids in order to minimize the torque they apply to your spacecraft when moving them. Sounds great! But how, I mused, does one pull an asteroid? None of the ships I had built so far really had any such capability. So Bill and I set to work on the problem and here is our solution; The 'Roid Puller!

The launch vehicle shown in some of the shots is not stock. The 'Roid Puller itself is stock.

'The Roid puller is designed for a solo pilot and may also be flown remotely. Her four nuclear rocket engines are fed by 32000 units of liquid fuel stored along her wings. She is 22.9m across either direction and 10.2m in height. She was designed with class E asteroids in mind and should be able to handle smaller objects with ease. 189 parts and 210 tons of pure 'roid pullin' love!

I forgot to mention, she also has a docking port at the top of the Cupola so that she can be parked at the space station when not in use.

What a piece of junk! Don't use this ship. Bill is working on an update that will address the problems we've seen so far... some of them anyhow...
