Scarab-HLAX

This simple hover vessel is made for Ascension Unchained, it has 4 distinct cargo containers and a large ammo container, also space for a shield generator (to add one simply open the shutter door on top of the vessel).
All the containers can be accessed via shutter doors along the sides of the vessel along with onboard O2 station and armor locker. The forward thrusters can also be upgraded to turbo thrusters if preferred. Agility mode is not meant to be activated under any circumstances, however if the vessel is extremely sluggish turning it can be activated (engineers notes: Agility mode being active without the vessel being heavily laden will cause structural stresses far beyond design specifications) please be mindful of when this switch is active and cycle it as part of any pre-flight check to avoid mishaps.
Two of the containers are harvester controllers allowing for drills (drills can be installed by removing the blocks with D marking them) or a harvester (the front visibility light can be removed to place the harvester module on the front) to be added to the front for fast extraction of necessary resources for further expansion.
There is space for 2 Improved CPUs on either side of the where the shield can be placed, the slots are vertical denoted by the C and going down a block towards the bottom of the craft.
This hover vessel is meant to roam a planet picking apart points of interest and harvesting ore deposits on long stretches without need for returning to a home base (whatever that may be), this does not however mean that it is meant to take on defended points of interest. This vessel can defend itself from small arms fire, drone attacks, and wild life, but its main advantage is being able to haul its maximum rated cargo weight capacity at speed and with agility to avoid detection and return to base for reclamation of its cargo.

Thank jrandall for the original design concept and I'm just reworking it for the amazing ascension unchained scenario.
