Almost finished my re-working of the Hector-Class miner. A few questions
remain:
1) Can anyone provide stats for the jump nets? (I think someone said they
were from MT?)
2) My original design used the stats for a fuel bladder to represent the
space needed to store a jump net large enough for my needs, but the fuel
bladder stats don't include mass. Does anyone know what mass fuel
bladders should have? (I assume not much, but 300m3 has got to weigh
something.)
3) Does anyone have an idea how large/heavy/pricey three winches, capable
of towing 18,000 kg, would be?
