Armada-class APC

Description
Six Wheels of Steel
Manly Tree Dynamics is proud to present the Armada 604 Armored Personnel Carrier! Powered by 6 5x5 off-road wheels and a small thruster bank, there's no bump in the road (or lack of) that Armada can't handle!

Carry the Whole Colony
Is the site of your future base on the opposite side of the planet? No worries! Pack up to 13 people (including yourself) and plenty of supplies into your Armada APC, using the dual connectors and retractable ramp, and hit the road!

Keep Raiders at Bay
Should any greedy bast ards try to raid your convoy, fend them off with the Armada 604's two manually controlled gatling turrets! If that doesn't work, do it the old fashioned way and run 'em over!

ALL the Cargo Space
The Armada is loaded with containers, the main one tucked safely behind the cockpit along with the production systems (yes, you have a refinery, 2 assemblers and an arc furnace!). A hotkeyed Spaceball at the rear acts as an adaptable counterweight.

Things to Keep in Mind
1. Turning can be a little finnicky in the Armada. I find that it works best to get yourself moving forward first, then turn by feathering the key.
2. If multiple people try to board the APC at once, they will probably break something (knowing Space Engies and its multiplayer shenanigans).
3. The personnel cabin is airtight, but it has no airlock. If you are operating in a unoxygenated environment, be sure to depressurize the cabin before opening the door.
4. When you are in an area with air in it, open the natural air vent to let some oxygen in. There's a button for it (and depressurization) on the driver's hotbar and at the front of the cabin.
5. Before operation your new APC, take a minute to review all of the hotkeys in the driver's seat - there are a lot of them.
6. For those of your who are used to the driver's side being the right: It's the left.

Enjoy!
