Description
Rugged Drifter
===========

I was in need of some small armed Hover-Scout, so I took a look into my library and found the 12-Drifter by Kieve: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=816922425
It wasn't armed, it wasn't full of nice survival equipment, but has a really nice shape to begin with.
So I ripped it apart, build it up again with more stuff in, rugged it and gave it some teeth.
All with low ressource cost in mind (starting planets don't have many different ore deposits anymore).

So here it is: cheap, still nimble, lot's of survival equipment (or room for) and armed with twin miniguns and minigun turret.

Additional features:
- 3x Cargo boxes
- 1x Fridge
- 1x Armor Locker
- Space for O2 station (needs Cobalt, that's not available as deposite on starter planets anymore)
- Space for Mobile Constructor (same reason)

Ressources:
- Iron : 200
- Copper : 146
- Silicon : 106

Now, go Hunting!

Very nice ship - even better ship for the cost. Always my First Go-TO on a new 7.0 start.

Small Update: Small Spikes to the sides to go in line with my other Rugged Rusty Vessels

This thing looks pretty great, love the rugged look. Also no cobalt required, cant wait to try it out on my new 7.0 playthrough :)

@Fractalite: haha, yes I'm speed (better said acceleration) addicted.
For SVs these stats would be indeed bad, HVs on the other hand aren't (realistically) made for fast dodging, and values behind 16-18m/s² (rainydays Mining-Hover!!) are nearly impossible to get. So a good 8m/s² (this one has 7m/s²) is all you need for a good HV.
Early Scouts aren't meant for heavy POI attacks either. ;-)

Good Idea about a rugged theme vessel serie! Thanx!

Gorgeous build Rucky. I love your heavy/rugged theme. It would be fun to see you do a line up of these both HV and SV.

BUT

After all the grief you have given people on the forums(but in a helpful construcitve way) I gotta say it; aren't those stats a little on the low side? :))

Still, thumbs up and subbed. :steamhappy:

thanx ;-)
you don't need to defense it or yourself ;-)
it's an absolute fantastic design.. just not armed ;-)

"It wasn't armed, it wasn't full of nice survival equipment," - In my defense, it was also a 5.X build designed for minimum-level. :S

That said, I like what you've done with it! Looks like the kind of thing some crazy Mad Max hermit would cook up after being stranded on a backwater planet for a few years.
