FRHV19 HoverBurrower

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The nineteenth in my First Run Hover Vehicles series, the HoverBurrower is a T1 CPU "low level", single person enclosed (air tight) Mining ground vehicle.
Equipped with four Mechanical Drills for diggy-diggy-hole'ing and a Gatling Turret to defend against hostile drones.
The HoverBurrower is equipped with: a 4k SU Ore & Wood container; a 125 SU Ammo container; two small cargo boxes; a Mini-Fridge; an O² Station with two O² Tanks; a Wi-Fi; and a detector.
The HoverBurrower is lifted by four small hover engines (one on each corner) that are on by default plus two more smalls set to "Max Lift", and another two near the centre of the vehicle at the rear turned on by the "MiningMode" custom signal that also turn the normal ones at the rear off in an effort to prevent the rocking back and forth usually experienced on uneven ground when the hover engines are too far apart.
For propulsion it has three medium thrusters for forward thrust and two mediums for all other directions, plus three small thrusters pointing downward at the rear to help pitch the Burrower forward when digging into the ground. It also has a hover booster, and an RCS. It's power generation consists of one large generators with three small fuel tanks.
- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default.





Body = Steel
Deck Plating/Floor = Carbon Composite
Armour = None
Turning the 'Power Save' custom signal on turns the following devices off:
Wi-Fi; Cab display holoprojectors.
The hazard beacons on the HoverBurrower come on automatically when using the "MiningMode" Custom Signal.
