AFHV05 Fox Light HoverTank

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The fifth in my series of Armoured Fighting Hover Vehicles is the Fox LightHoverTank.
The Fox is a (relatively) fast, manoeuvrable and agile Ground Combat vehicle intended to engage threat vehicles and bases with the ability to escape and evade with it's speed and mobility.
Due to the intended role of the Fox, its equipment list is extremely limited.

Detector; Wireless Connection; Exterior Lights & Ramps controlled by Motion Sensors.
Outer Doors - Automatic (motion sensor controlled).

- NOTE - the devices have been sorted into custom device groups, upon which some of the custom Device Group Shortcuts depend, so it is strongly recommended to not use the "Auto Group" feature.
1. PropulsionEtc - Turns on & off ALL Thrusters and the "main" Hover Engines.
NB - using the Thrusters "General" shortcut will leave the hover engines off.
2. MaxLift - Turns on & off additional Hover Engines for high-G environments.
3. Headlights - Turns on & off both "Spotlight Mode" Lights.
4. Ventilator - Turns on & off the Ventilator block (so you can save power in a breathable environment).
1. PowerSave - Turning the 'Power Save' custom signal on turns the following devices off:
WiFi; Holo (LCD) Projector; Light Control Levers & Motion Sensors; Passenger Seat.
2. Weapons - Turns on & off the fixed Gatling Gun(/s) and the Artillery Turret.
3. Taillights - Turns on & off ALL red flares on rear.
4. CloseDoor - Closes the outer doors and access shutters if open - so you can close any left open from in the seat.

Behind the access shutters on the underside can be found an empty space for: T3 CPU Extenders; 2 Large Generators; a Pentaxid Tank; a Shield Generator; and an additional Large Fuel Tank.
There is also a designated slot on the left-side of the vehicle for a second Gatling Gun..
Approximate CPU cost of the above upgrades total 29,000 of the T3's 30,000.

As shown in the above screenshots, the colour palette includes 4 primary colours to choose from: Desert Sand (vehicle comes in this colour); Military Green; Arctic White; Dark Grey. To swap the colour, simply click on the "Replace Mode" check box on the Colour And Texture Tool's UI, then (ensuring that no texture is selected) click on the coloured square that you want to change to, then "fire" the Colour & Texture Tool at any part of the vehicle that is painted the colour you want to replace.


- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default to save power until food is inside needing to be kept cold, and can only be turned off manually (or by turning off all power to the vehicle) from the fridge's own UI to limit instances of food being accidentally spoiled.
