LA Floaterbike mkIII

got it out of the mine and did some work on it, now runs pretty well, two engines in the back, side thrusters too, sos itll a work in progress..not insulting your work, just comenting on what I as doing.

Hi kevin398_727, the Floaterbike mkIII is a cheap starter HV,

- Hitting water with any design using Hover Thrusters is a bad idea, they are cheap!
- Rolling side to side must mean you are flying over mountains, again Hover Thrusters.
- You will get a better one soon? Thanks.
- It is not very stable compared to other starter HVs? :(
- One Hover in each corner would mean it couldn't look up/down.
- You already have access to a base constructor, why need an additional HV constructor?
- It is not designed to be a miner, its like judging a fish by its ability to walk.

I have some older designs that are maybe more of what you are looking for,

Floaterbike mkII (Starter HV):

(way more expensive but was cheap at the time, balances better, can only fire at monsters)

Pickaxe mkII (Mining HV):

(I'm going to update this soon with plastic blocks and re-colour)

OK, been playing with it a bit, got 2 drills for hv during amission so added those and went to try that, needless to say it sat in my old mine overnight after some serious trying to figure it out, the fact I never mined underground helps too. this morning I added another rear thruster and one on each side for those pesky flips onto the roof, and after some pracrise, its out and sitting by my base. added another drill to the top to mke a bigger hole as I go and will play with it until I figure out how to make it bettr, but mined over 2 thousand rocks and 340 iron ore getting it out of there.

lol

nice design, but if you dont take your time it hits any water at a slight angle it becomes a submarine instantly. it has a habit of rolling side to side a lot and I have had it upside down many times in 2 days.it certainly a decent starter hv, but i'll get a better one soon, if you're trying to explore the planet its not very stable, balanced on 2 thursters like it is, one on each corner would have allowed for adding a hv constructor without adding a lot of materials.and making it more stable,my opinion of course.

Thank you! :D

nice work it very fast and lot of mobility
