FRHV04 HoverDigger

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The forth in my "First Run Hover Vehicles" series, the HoverDigger is a Single Seat miner with only 2 drills (to keep cost down).
The FRHV03 HoverDigger is armed with a Gatling Gun for taking down any drone that might be defending a deposit, although it only comes with an Ammo Container Controller with no extensions (125 SU).
This HoverDigger is propelled by 3 Hover Engines & 2 thrusters in all four directions, as well as a lift thruster at the rear to help with pitching forward, plus it has an RCS to improve handling. It also comes with a detector, a 2.2kSU Ore Container, and a Wi-Fi. The power generation is provided by a small generator, and it has one small and two large fuel tanks.





Body = Carbon Substrate.
Deck Plating/Floor = N/A (devices)
Armour = None.
Turning the 'Power Save' custom signal on turns the following devices off:
Wi-Fi; Holoprojection "Device & Signal Toggles" Info Screen.
The hazard beacon atop the HoverDigger comes on automatically when using the "Drills" Custom Shortcut.
