Description
The Eager is a short range Cargo Drone designed to carry the SIM Standard cargo pod short distances, typically between a Earnest HGV and a industrial facility or spaceport, such as Echelon.

The Eager's high thrust to mass ratio gives the Drone exceptional lifting capability and speed, but pilots are advised to consider load mass when assessing stopping distances.

This Whole set is incredible. I wish it were updated with the new AI Blocks.

I developed this Drone further to bring a CargoContainer to Space and return on it's own.

Drone crushes if cargo is filled 100% with steel plates. To prevent this add 2 extra engines for uplift or reduce cargo to 1 container. Can also be re-designed as a personal cargo ship. I really liked the Style and I'm designing Cargo Ships alternatives. Will msg you when I will finish so you can test

Yes, and please a seperate blueprint for the cargo pod

I find the cargo container incredibly hard to handle safely. Had to make 3 due to the large cargo containers exploding whenever they touch something.

a link to the cargo pod would be helpful

Do you know any scripting? If you combine this with SAM v2 you could make this far more efficient

@silver.talon - Thanks! I'm hoping to build some additional facilities to go with this, and drones for other environments are on the list. Not sure when they'll be done though.

As a quick fix, I think that the atmos could be swapped for ions, with two of the lifting thrusters flipped in orientation. I've not tested this, but the drone has plenty of power.

Hey 5URG3, really cool drone! I had a player on my server who really liked it combined with you spaceport and HGV. Do you think you could come up with a space version of this drone? I thought of trying myself, but you can maintain your style far better than I. Thanks!
