AT-HT Zebra Pleco I

IMPORTANT: This vehicle now uses a wheel suspension system instead of thrusters for a much more efficient and stable hovering movement. Otherwise, this tank behaves similarly to the videos and photos above.

The Zebra Pleco I is an Autonomous Hover Tank (AT-HT) which mixes automation blocks and custom scripts to autonomously move, attack, and launch payloads at targets. This tank can also be remote controlled and operated by a player.

I made these mainly as something to fight against in a singleplayer world, they will circle around enemies, fire at them, and launch their two docked missiles at them.

The Zebra Pleco is armored with a mix of heavy armor and blast door blocks for survivability, and armed with a large artillery turret consisting of two auto-cannons and two assault cannons. There is additionally a small autocannon turret on top of the tank which serves as an anti-air gun. The Zebra Pleco comes with a large inventory and power storage capacity, and uses a wheel suspension + thruster system to hover on the ground and move. This tank is survival ready, with ammunition already loaded into the inventory storage.

Some Notes:

Make sure you turn on the Offensive AI Block (Called TANK RADAR) to engage the autonomous combat functions.

The hover tank comes with a Basic Task AI and a Defensive AI Block, which aren't set up for anything specific. If you would like, you can configure these to suit your needs.

The missiles aren't that accurate, I guess because Automations AI is really clumsy. These missiles are accurate enough to hit large and/or static targets, but not small and mobile targets.

This hover tank has some issues using the Basic Task AI block to follow waypoints. I'm not sure why this is, I may address it at some point. This also means that this hover tank works weirdly with the RTS mod.
