HAGP Mk.3

I am very proud to announce that the now-popular HAGP has evolved to it's third form. I have spent about five hours into the redesigning of the HAGP Mk. 2 ARMOR, and after many trials and tests I believe I have managed to get this monstrosity into working condition.

The HAGP is the Heavily Armored Gun Platform, capable of destruction, damage absorbtion, mining, transportation and even traversing harsh terrain. The massive hulk is well armored, shock absorbers in every possible location, armor plates along every free spot and even large covers to protect the wheels. The battery life is well above average, as the shielding and healing is very intense. This tank is not only armored, as the name suggests it also has a large payload for whomever dares to behold it. This is no mere behemoth, it is a nightmare.

The HAGP is not just for offensive duties, it also excels at safely mining large ore deposits. The front of the tech has been mounted with a drill and an angled plasma cutter, perfect for mining. The large internal storage of ten medium GSO silos is enough to carry over 320 raw and refined ores, each safely separated into two sections. If you don't have a means to craft the items you need at one base, simply load up your trusty HAGP and ship your materials off to the next base.

One feature has been present throughout all versions of the HAGP; the emergency escape plane. The plane could be used for several purposes, one to remotely gather reinforcements if ever needed, and also to just escape the HAGP say it's massive arrays of shields and armor were ever compromised. While previous versions used a large rocket-propelled VLS system that would allow for higher altitude plane deployment (that tended to be a large waste of space), this version comes equipped with a much smaller plane that pops straight out of the back of the bridge. Handy and more space effecient.

As with most of my techs, the HAGP comes equipped with several mobile generators that will automatically take any gathered fuel chunks and turn them into power. But when I say several, I mean as in a miniature power plant within the guts of the HAGP. It will automatically filter out any fuels and turn them into food for your power-hungry beast. This can easily be toggled by disabling the item sorters coming out of the back of the entrance silo.

The HAGP even comes fully equipped with a jet system that lasts about eight seconds. The recharge is just a little bit more. These jets can make the difference between getting halfway up a shallow climb then falling back down to the ground to climbing over extreme mountain tops. Don't worry about the explosive sideaffect of a jet taking too much damage; all jets and fuel are stored in hard-to-reach nooks and crannies or within the armor.

I made this HAGP almost entirely out of Venture, GSO, and GeoCorp, so there's not much need for expensive Hawkeye attire or hard-to-get XP levels!


Enjoy my HAGP Mk. 3, and good luck to any who dare oppose you!

OPERATION MANUAL:

Dropping Ores:
*To drop ores, simply locate the two exit hatches on the sides of the HAGP. They are towards the middle/rear.
*Right click the conveyors and they will drop that entire half of the HAGP's storage. The raw ores are held on the right side by default, refined ores and components to the left. This can easily be changed by setting the filters coming out of the Venture silo to whatever you please.

Escape Plane:
1. Press X.
2. Locate the plane inside the bridge and take control of it.
3. Press both SHIFT and W.
4. Gain altitude by constantly pressing W. If you crash, it is very hard to get back off the ground.
*WARNING* If you press A or D for too long, you may lose massive amounts of altitude. Lightly tap them to turn.
*WARNING* As of 0.8, the escape plane gets stuck within the bridge of the HAGP.
