Onyx (Yellow)

The HV doesnt move at all, and not sure why. CPU, Signal logic, RCS, weight. I am still learning. wish the statistics page showed issues in RED.

I have been playing around with the ONYX as well. It is a great HV and if you shut off the first 2 and last 2 Hover Engine during rear mining mode it works great. I also dropped all front mining except for wood harvesters. Also replaced the turret's with retractable so rear mining was improved. Bobo, I would be interested in working with you if you are also interested.

I will do so and credit you accordingly - thanks!

@bobo8734, Sorry, but I don’t play Empyrion right now and I probably won’t return here anymore. You can try to remake it yourself if you wish.

Hey, Rayner_Lute: any thoughts of updating this design for V11.x? This was my go-to HV in my last game. It's not a great mining vehicle unless you are going straight in and straight out, but it is a real beast in a fight. Thanks!

@Ricebug, Thanks for your feedback.
Inconvenience in forests is the problem of all large HVs, it is better to always bypass them, I have to put up with this using similar HVs. A feed harvest modules are really more effective than the front, at least their coverage over the entire width of the stern, in contrast to the front, but only 2 out of 4 modules affect the tree at a time.

I've been using this HC on a temperate planet. Lot's of mountains, forests, etc. It would work better on a somewhat flat, landscape. It gets hung up too easily in forests especially. Still, it's a beautiful piece of workmanship. I also notice that the four wood harvesters don't seem any more efficient that a single harvester.

This is my favorite color scheme. I am going to build this in my current game to try it out. Great job!

very nice puts my effort to shame bk to the drawing board lol ,nice job :)

@jrandall, Thank you very much! You are always the first =)
