Pathfinder Utility Vehicle

Pathfinder Utility Vehicle is a small-grid, heavy-lift, all-purpose crafty designed for high-gravity planets such as Omicron with its 1.9g gravitational acceleration. This design is mod-less and uses no rotors or pistons, so building from a blueprint in survival mode is straightforward. Pathfinder Utility Vehicle has one large cargo container, and is capable of both planetary flight using its atmospheric thrusters and space flight using its ion thrusters without the use of its hydrogen thrusters, so its versatility and flight time is greatly enhanced. Two gatling guns provide a modicum of offensive protection.

Pathfinder Utility Vehicle serves well for early survival play when wanting to establish an offworld mining and refining station; its heavy-lift capability will allow the player to carry a significant quantity of starter materials to space to set up the processing station.

NOTE: Although ion thrusters and small reactors are used in this design, it can be built without the thruster components and/or reactors (finishing the thrusters and/or reactors later) and still be flown successfully to space for setting up an off-world mining and refining facility or, optionally, grabbing an enemy ship and stripping its thruster components and reactors for your own use.

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL MODE
The projector's default settings align with a bottom conveyor block near the ship's front; set the vertical alignment to -1 to properly align the projector below the block's surface (see the last picture).
