Scorpion-AT-vanilla [HV][LVL20][CPU4][V1.3]

Description
This is a port and remix of JRandall's excellent MCRN-Scorpion-AT from Reforged Eden to vanilla Empyrion.

See https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2356097662 for the original.

Vanilla CPU limits allow more fixed weapons to be carried. In this case I added 4x Pulse Lasers for fast POI shield destruction, and 4x Railguns for high pinpoint damage on POI turrets after the shields are down. The greater firepower comes at the price of a higher material cost - especially in rare resources. (See image above for exact costs.) The turret loadout also had to be altered, since vanilla Empy block limits disallow more than 4 of most kinds of turrets.

Vanilla thrusters are much less powerful than Reforged Eden's 2x2x4 Plasma thrusters. So this build has inferior agility to the Reforged Eden version. (Not by too much. But inferior never the less.)

It's still an exceptionally capable hover-tank - better than anything else I've ever tried. I hope you enjoy Jeff's genius at hover tank design as much as I have!

Nice, @RedScourge!

I made a modded version of this myself, where I flipped the artillery turret down underneath so I had room for an optional exterior cockpit, but after seeing your version, I think I'll try to add some extra thrusters the way you did! Mine's here in case you want to see how it looks with the turret on the bottom: and an exterior cockpit in its place: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2410244556

@RoninBull, Sorry, I forgot to do this. It is added now as a modded version on the Scorpion AT post. Thanks again!

Whatever you feel is right, Jeff. I wasn't sure if you'd like this bastardized version of the Scorpion or not. If you like it, feel free to share!
