[EU] VU-4 Habrok Dropship

Description
VTOL, Utility-4 "Habrok"

Habrok's fill a crucial role in the Eridani Union's logistic train. As a small transport capable of both space flight and terrestial landing, they provide a strong link between the fleet and planetside assets. These craft are designed strictly to taxi personnel and equipment, they are not built to engage directly in combat. Still, they are built durable enough to fill both civilian and military roles.

The decision to make the craft VTOL capable has proved a good choice for increasing the versatility of the Habrok, particularly when exploring new terrain. This, of course, has led to poor fuel efficiency when achieving escape velocity meaning large bulk cargo must be transported to orbit in larger dedicated transports. Furthermore, the small size of the Habrok means these craft must be supported by either a larger ship, station or settlement to operate.

Habrok's are the small transport of choice for most Union operations.

Additional Notes: Been gone for two weeks since the planet release, but finally got on to update this ship.The Habrok has now been updated to be compatible with the official planets release. After much testing, the only way I could achieve orbit properly was to replace so much internal space with hydrogen tanks or generators (depending on the method of achieving orbit) that the Habrok's passenger capacity was severely limited.

As such the Habrok has been temporarily refited for atmospheric use only until a major refit can be completed to allow the ship to not only transit from surface to orbit easily, but with enough capacity to make it worthwhile.

What is the width in small ship blocks?

can you give it some space functionality? i cant take it into space without it breaking down on me

its going to be great to see a update on the ellis sation, other drone ideas.. long range probes (communications) would be really cool. Also check the camera perspective sometimes it can make the feeling you have inverted controls. if you wanted insparation for functionality of things check 'Vulcan Industries' or 'Void Corp' but keep your art and naming style as it is very unique. keep up the fantastic work and thanks.

Glad they updated the tanks for more capacity, it was very underpowered for what I wanted to use them for. It probably helps out alot for you

@Mr Roger's Thank you for the feed back! I am currently going through my ships and updating them with the latest add-ons such as hydrogen and the new doors. When I've completed that yes I do have some new drones in the works as well as a complete overhaul of an old station I made last year: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=360803471

If you have any specific station types or drones you'd like to see let me know!

some of the first ships i downloaded as a blue print a while ago and thought i would would revisit. wondering if your thinking of adding stations and a few more drones, that would be amazing. great work btw plz keep it up

@NightHawk114 Yes, as I put in the notes I have already converted the ship to use hydrogen thrusters. I am waiting for the actual planet release to publish the update so I can make sure to have the thrusters balanced correctly.
NightHawk114 25 Oct, 2015 @ 6:20pm 
Could try to convert or make a variant that uses full or part hydrogen thrusters? Since it seems they're going to be the atmospheric thrusters.

I've found troop transports to be tricky to get right but you've nailed it Hank! Smart seating layout. The station looks good too.
