Gyllir APC

In 1 collection by Lord Commissar
Phoenix Vintage Craft
62 items
Description
Gyllir Armored Personnel Carrier

Mass: 129,189 kg
Length: 17.5 m
Acceleration: 2.44 m/s^2
Weapons: 2 Autocannons
Storage: 30 Small Containers
Crew: 1 Pilot, 7 Passengers

Based on the Sleipnir Tank Chassis, the Gyllir was created to get troops into the battlefield quickly and safely. Although it has little weaponry of its own, it makes up for this by having heavy armor all around the crew compartment, as well as additional thrust which propels it faster than the Sleipnir tank.

Hovering -------------------------------------------------------------

The Hovering process is all automated through sensors, so there is nothing you need to do control wise to maintain it. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

The hovering works by using gravity to pull the tank downwards when it is too high, and engines to push it back up when it gets too low.

Gravity activates above 2m
Engines Activate below 1.5m

In the Pilot's seat, you can find several flight controls (view the screenshot above) to help you in specific situations. Most of the time, you should not need to use these controls.

- The tank has 2 gravity generators inside of it, pulling down on 5 artificial mass blocks. For best results, try to keep the pull on the tank at 2 Gs. If you are in an environment that already has Gravity, you can turn one of the generators off. However, for Zero-G it is recommended that you use both internal Gravity Generators.

- You can turn off the artifical mass blocks if you wish to fly away from a Gravitational environment.

- Similarly, you can deactivate either/both sensors which control the hover (the one that activates/disables gravity and the one that activates/disables the engines) for more precision control. However, this is not recommended.

**Keep in mind that there are no downward thrusters. All downward movement is made through gravity.**

**It is recommended that you do not try highly aggressive maneuvers with the tank, as it may overcompensate and fly away from the terrain. For best results, do your best to keep the tank level as you fly, and slow down when negotiating obstacles.**

it's likely broken. many mods have grown outdated (that's why i stopped using mods at all), and it was created pre - dx11.

Pay attention to the collections i put these things in. if it's in Vintage, i'm not guaranteeing it works, and sadly i don't have the time to go back and maintain all of these things

Its not working. I cant get to move it. I can only get to rotate it.

Reminds me a lot of the Magriders in Planetside / Planetside2.

Hmm... Have you considered a mobile base using this tech?

no fleets, the lag would be too great. if you're looking for military mothership look for the Kestrel or Phoenix. industry mothership would be less likely for me to build

just asking, could you make a fleet with all of the pheniox industry ships, and a new huge "mothership"
