New Improved "Retreiver," Resusable industrial mining rocket!

Now that I recovered my vessel and it is back to it's most recent incarnation and I have dropbox up in place of media fire, I thought I would reshare this sepetate from the Orion. Particularly since I am no longer using it with the orion vessel since it is not accurate to the actual Orion mining vessel.

In case nobody is familiar with this(Most likely the case). This is a giant oversized piece of mining equipment meant to hold large amounts of fuel. It was an extra fuel compartment for another ship. This is why it has engines for 8x gravity(outside of the SF rockets I added since) as it was meant to be carried empty into orbit then used on planets to bring up extra fuel and potentially drag very large asteroids around for it's mothership(Up to hypothetical F asteroids if they are ever put in game). But it is basically capable of getting anywhere in the SS. Or at least I think it is. I'm still testing this and haven't gotten past Dres yet because of constant testing and modifications I kept making to it. Without the SF rockets it's mean to be carriable in MK3 cargo bays and can be split in two to stow away more easily.

Instructions and keybindings are in the ships description panel. **This ship consists of a main rocket body and a probe on top that can be used for various tasks.

Edit: out of curiosity, if people don't like this, what don't they like about it?

Edit2: Ok, still needs lots of work in important areas like rcs on the bottom of the vehicle to reconnect with the probe. I also want to add a science bay to run science if it's not too big and work on a few more aspects of the ship. Needs more RCS though to connect to large asteroids.
