THE CENTIPEDE, a ground modular transport system that works! NO MODS.

A good friend once said to me: "What good man has never dreamed of driving a full loaded train armed to the teeth?" If that's your style too, then at Hydra Industries we are sure that you will enjoy a ride in our new creation. Whether you need to move large quantities of raw materials from point A to point B, or if you just like to be noticed when rolling, the ground transportation system "CENTIPEDE" will be your best ally in alien territory. Built for the serious explorer, this beauty features our most advanced offroad suspension system and has the capacity to carry 250KL of payload in its standard configuration, and the potential to carry much more if more load modules are attached thanks to its modular design approach. With three different modules in its initial configuration, one for cargo, one for hydrogen, and a trailer with the capacity to transport other vehicles and small ships, it will not fall short in the expectations of the land exploration market. Still we do not rule out future plans to introduce new modules such as a medical module, an ore refinement module, and an extra power module for an even more practical configuration. Do you already feel like an explorer? What are you waiting for? Grab your CENTIPEDE and go explore!

Instructions are listed on the display of the truck's control seats. Note that this blueprint needs 1 script to move due to the experimental suspension on rotors and hinges, as well as the Advanced LCD 2 and one for the aircraft. So please make sure to enable in game scripts. On the other hand it does not use any MODs.

UPDATES:
- Implemented sensors for the main sliding doors
- Changed the layout script for the Floor Plan Script v9.1
- Custom suspension adjusted for better performance
- The barred windows surrounding the atmospheric Thrusters have been changed by glass Windows and transparent LCD to provide sealing and internal pressure, as well as some thrusters info
- The transport trailer got some rework at the back, now has an expandable ramp and also gained the capability to attach more trailers
- New information in the LCD panels on the right control seat
- Programmable blocks are now better labeled

What`s up fellow engineers? The other day watching Chapter 7 of the second season of the Mandalorian I was blown away by the train alike vehicle that came out in the episode and inspired me to do this. It is an inspiration, not an imitation as such. That's why I tried to build a vehicle with the characteristics of a train on wheels, but 100% adapted to the universe of S.E. that it was useful in the first place but that at the same time it looked good and logical. I hope I have achieved it, please leave me your comments about it and if you like it, do not forget to leave me a like,

Remember that being stingy is not cool :P

Anyways, hope you enjoy it. kanpai!
