The Mining Elevator V2.0 allows for the vertical digging of mine shafts. This aids in the mining and access to ores and getting back out of the ground.
The ship will tell you your current planet and a Hud indicator for the depths of the ores that you can find on z planet.

P.S. Can use as a hover platform to rescue ships.

The dispenser at the IC spaceport was empty, stopped buy to purchase a couple units yesterday. I go there today and the dispensers are gone...

TJFury, it would require lvl5 skills with the scanning dig tool, you need the general dig tool.

Yes I will Stryker79

Will you take trade in? V1 for discount on V2?

As I mine down, the elevator keeps getting stuck and I then have to dig it out I am using the #3 tool and I am at full talent for Mining range and advanced mining and at level 4 for the rest giving me 88% total for mining. Let me know if you have an idea on how to fix this oh yeah the #3 tool is at its widest range which is almost big enough for me to slip down between the mine shaft and the elevator. Hmmm maybe make it smaller for a better fit :-))

I'd like to pike up a token, please

I think I have V1...never been able to figure it out. Definitely want V2

You might not finish the mega node or the area of ore at 1000m and to get back down you would have to otherwise remember how to navigate the web of mine you got down there with. So you save time.
Force resporn will not always be a thing, container link range might get nerfered.

I love the concept, but I wonder how using this ship could be more eficcient than just respawning back in my ship at the surface?
Freemans
Thank you, it works perfectly :)
Hanarie
The ship is on a XS-core, so you can attach it to an S-core or higher using the manoeuvre tool. Also DrHowie I am glad this are looking up for you ;)

Great innovation. After purchasing the mining elevator I discovered I was able to maintain a long, wide shaft. My married life has never been better.
