FRAHV HoverCutter

Description
Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The HoverCutter, one of the "First Run Addendum Hover Vehicles" series, is a variant of the FRHV16 HoverBreaker, replacing the Tool Turret and Mechanical Drill with two Harvester Modules to become a "low level" Tree Cutter.
It is armed with a single fixed Gatling Turret in case any drones need to be removed, and it has a 250 SU Ammo Container for storing the 15mm rounds.
The HoverCutter is equipped with: a 5k SU Ore & Wood container; a 250 SU Ammo container; three small cargo boxes; a Mini-Fridge; an O² Station with two O² Tanks; a Wi-Fi; and a detector.
For propulsion, it has five hover engines on by default plus a sixth set to "Max Lift", a hover booster and an RCS on by default plus another set to "Max Lift" as well. It also has two large and one small thruster for forward thrust and the same again for braking/reverse, plus three small for left and right. It's power generation consists of a large generator with four large fuel tanks.

Please note - since recording the tour video I have learned that you do not need to quadruple the vehicle's mass when calculating the lift capacity in 4G.
I can confirm that, in 4G with Max Lift ON, it will lift ~30.6 (metric) tons, and with a vehicle mass of 11.2t, the hover engines will lift a further ~19.4t.

- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default.
