AFHV11 Goliath Mobile Post

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The eleventh in my series of Armoured Fighting Hover Vehicles is the Goliath Mobile Post.
The Goliath is a ground "mobile temporary static post" that has plenty of turrets as well as plenty of firing positions, including an in-built Lookout Tower, for assigned troops to stand watch and engage any attacking enemies from.

- 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. Floodlights - Turns on & off "area illumination" spotlight blocks.
4. Headlights - Turns on & off the 4 forward spotlight blocks.
5. Taillights - Turns on & off ALL red flares on rear.
6. Ventilators - Turns on & off ALL Ventilator blocks (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) Projectors & Screens; Light/Ramp Control Levers & Motion Sensors; Passenger Seats.
2. AntiPersonnelTurrets - Turns on & off the Gatling Turrets.
3. AntiAirTurrets - Turns on & off the Rocket Turrets.
4. AntiVehicleTurrets - Turns on & off the Plasma Turrets.
5. Production - Turns on & off ALL Constructors.
6. CloseDoors - Closes the outer (non-glass) doors - so you can close any left open from in the seats.

None - there is no in-built upgrade path.

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.
