Description
100% credit goes to lENDERl for this design. Original: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1443976688

The modifications made here are not in anyway intended as 'corrections' or even 'improvements'. These modifications were made exclusively to satisfy my personal preferences.

Changes:

Medic & O2 Station moved directly next to Cockpit under Shutter Doors for quick lazy access (<-- lazy)
Sealed up rear end and removed the ramp/shutter doors (I access Armor Locker via the control panel)

Replaced 7 Thruster S and 43 Thruster Jet S with 78 Thruster M and adjusted thrust vectors to personal preferences. NOTE: This was a heavy HV already to begin with but my additions made it even heavier. However the thrust more than compensates for the added weight (+23t) resulting in increased accelerations: B (+7 m/s²), and R & L (+2 m/s2 each). I prefer to sail through the air after jumps so I didn't replace U and D Thruster S.

I like that 'bounce' feeling in an HV so I added some more Hover Engines:
-- added 4 Hover Engine (2x2) for a new total of 6
-- added 6 Hover Engine (1x1) for a new total of 16

Replaced 2 single block Cargo Boxes with 6 double block Cargo Boxes
Removed 1 fridge for a new total of 1
Added 9 RCS for a new total of 37
Removed 7 O2 tanks for a new total of 5
Removed 2 ammo boxes for a new total of 1
Removed 1 generator for a new total of 4 (I still never exceed 39% power usage)
Added 3 Harvester Modules to the front to help navigating those nightmare forests
Added 2 Drill Module T2 to clear irritating rocks (note: this is NOT a mining vessel)
Added 1 Cargo Box (Harvest) cuz I don't wanna waste
Removed 1 detector for a new total of 1 and moved the remaining one into a covered side area
Added 2 miniguns for a new total of 4
Added 4 minigun turrets cuz I'm lazy
Removed Flares and Light to save on energy (I use NVG most of the time)
Upgraded a bunch of Hardened Steel Blocks to Combat Steel Blocks

Again, this modded version exists only to satisfy my personal preferences - THIS IS NOT A SUPERIOR BUILD.

Thanks,
Cecell

I like some of the modifications you have made. I left a lot of flat open spots just for turret placement like this.
