Why I made this?

When I first time meet bases of NPC from Economy Deluxe DLC. I had got an idea to make a mobile outpost.

The vanilla version of this base is very cool. It looks like a ship on launching frame. Although it's merge block and main thruster are working. It can not make a easy fly, without gyroscope and thruster on others direction.

Another reason is that I don't have gift on art like other people here. But I know a little bit survival skills. So I decided to modify base and ships from vanilla.

All scripts are from Steam Workshop. You can search them and give their author likes.

Sorry for my Chinglish. Please feel free to share your idea below.

Just successfully launched this from the Alien Planet. I had to add two large atmo thrusters and use a speed mod, and with Blarg's Ascent Cruise Control, only used 6% hydrogen to do it :D
