HST-01C1, Tripod

Description
Introducing the Orion Industries HST-01C1 Tripod. This hover vessel was created as a starting vessel (level 1) for PvE on a temperate planet. The use of three composite hover engines provide improvements over traditional two engine designs while being more affordable than four engine ones. Don't be the only explorer on the planet without your own Tripod, order yours today!*

Have you ever...
- found a wreckage while exploring and had to leave behind valuable steel plates?
- lost your motorbike in water or from atop a mountain?
- needed to cross a body of water to get to that next POI?
- wanted to strafe, or at least turn inside 10 meters, while riding your motorbike?
- fallen over in a two engine hover vessel and had spiders ravage your body?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then the Tripod is your solution.

Features:
- Perfect balance without the use of artificial mass for improved performance.
- Three composite hover engines for increased speed, stability, and handling.
- Low resource requirements and a factory build time of less than 3 minutes.
- Fully EPA compliant; over 35 hours of operation on a single tank of fuel.
- Easily accessible glove box.

Required Resources:
- 40x Iron
- 36x Copper
- 31x Silicon

Roles:
- PvE early game transport vessel.

Thank you. I am working on an armed version with a center mounted minigun. getting the balance right is...frustrating.

This little thing is a gem. It looks simple but has a nice look to it and handles so very very well -especially considering how little it costs!

For how to improve it I'm not sure as any additions might take away it's character, mess up the balance or raise the cost. Really good ship you've made. ^^

Any feedback, as why you do/do not like this design or how to improve it, would be appreciated.
