Description
This is cutting-edge stuff for games with mass and volume limits enabled. Currently there are bugs with mass so I'm still working on it. (Right now, the mass it will carry is unlimited.) It is not currently CPU compliant because that's pretty much impossible right now with CPU still being messed up.

This is a hauler with a single maximum-sized container (32,000 SU) set up as a harvest container in case you want to add a multiturret. I tried to keep it low tech and it's not intended to be terribly fast or anything.

There are 20 hover engines which is 20 * 200kN when they're all switched on for a total lifting force of 407.9tf. The mass of the vehicle is 40t so if I understand the units this should carry about 360t in 1G. BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY A BUG where mass does not exist in harvest containers so the current weight limit is unlimited!

There is a FullPower signal switch that turns on all of the hover engines and thrusters. If the vehicle is completely empty then you can turn this off and still move reasonably well though acceleration will be rather slow.

There are two minigun turrets and an ammo box with 1,000 SU of storage which should be more than enough for this purpose.

Yes, the little ears are absolutely necessary!

the ears are the best part
