I loved this build except... I wasn't a fan of the wheels. And the Drone hatch did not work.
I made several modifications of this build but I finally had to make my own interpretation of it. The biggest thing I loved about it was the whole MRAP vibe. In the end I had to make my own completely new version. With great respect here it is.

sweet

thanks

CAVERÃO!

На вид красив, вполне функционален. Пользовался около недели данной машинкой. Понравился дизайн. Но при попытке транспортировки на большом судне- отказывается стыковаться,перевезти эту машину невозможно. Установил модуль парения,посадочные опоры- всё равно не стыкуется..Ещё после долгих раздумий понял что мешают колёса,тупо не стыкуется из за их высоты,тут вариант либо спиливать их наполовину- либо дизлайк и отписка. Выбрал последнее. Ибо достали нефункциональные горе поделки.

Great little HV - not expensive and really looking good.

I made a slightly modified version with a Drone Hatch for hunting the first ore deposits in spider territory :-P

Впечатляющее парящее судно, если после создания обработать напильником :) Получается хороший начальный транспорт, вот только люк дрона так и не получилось в нём реализовать...

epic! love the look!

dope AF bro Good Job!

Put's the A team truck to shame aye.

Great looking vehicle.

Wow, I love the look of this!

@kevin398_727 The problem is that the drone spawns somewhere behind the player, roughly the lenght of a BA/CV block and somewhat higher than the players head.

I'd also just build a small, dedicated miner with 6 drills. Rarely needed to mine via the drill tool in single player mode, just a bunch of surface ore rocks early game, only some promethium from deposits, the rest so far by looting and salvaging POI's.

using all this info to think about mining machines, so might design my own someday that you just park over a spot and mine it from inside.

not high enough huh? Hmm tried opening up the roof, 6 blocks worth but it wont work that way, opened a hole in the floor for access to the ground but didnt work either, so if its height, then a bus design would be better for that, and maybe a high top with an opening and closing roof..will consider that.even thought about opening up the floor and putting a beam miner in the hole and park over ore hits, but not sure how you'd run it.and found out you cant launch a drone sitting in the command chair..hey I ahd to try..lol

@kevin398_727 Seems like starting a drone directly from the inside would require you to make the vehicle one block higher. I wasn't able to start the drone otherwise. Alternatively you can just stand near one of the doors with your back towards the outside and spawn the drone from there. Then give yourself a little bump with the drone to make your character slide back into the HV. The doors will open and close automatically, since i've connected them to motion sensors. I'd recommend using the backdoor though, since the drone seems to have problems getting through the side entrance.

going to build one for experiment I want to do..how many holes in it does it need to let a drone fly out to mine? lol might open a hole in the floor and drive right up to a marked ore then drill down from inside, or sue a drone, either way never need to eb outside to mine again once I figure it out.

Nice design. We are going to use this as a 4x player early/mid game mobile base. @lonut, I made the front and the rear sections 2x blocks longer, made it 1x block taller, and widened it by 2x blocks. plenty of room for storage now...but I have not enforced the new A9 inventory system yet.

Thanks,i l do it soon as i l play empyrion.

@Ionut I don't see myself doing that upgrade anytime soon, since i'm still playing without weight restrictions. So yeah, all fine by me; go for it. :)

@Loserman,if i use this and try to modify for A9 can i post on workshop after?Of course u will have all the credit and stuff with redirect-link to this mod here

@JarJar Thanks, i hope you'll enjoy it.

Great idea. Will look forward to run this soon

@Ionut Nah dude, sorry. Not updated for A9 (no cargo controllers). I doubt you can add much more cargo, unless maybe you remove the backdoor, this would give some more space in the rear.

Anyway,sub and like,this is awsome vehicle :P

@Loserman Is this updated for A9? I play with volume enable.I have possibility to increase the cargo without major changes?

wheels....... wheels..... wheels

It would be great if we actually have a working wheels or tracks instead of hover craft as an option.

@TDplay Would certainly be a nice addition, especially for early game. But wheels would become obsolete far too quickly for the current pace of the game, which is probably one of the reasons they didn't add them in yet + from what i've heard, getting the physics right in Unity would be a bit of pain. Oh well...

That's a pretty nice truck aesthetic with the wheels.
Yeah, wheels would be a really nice alternative to hover engines. Perhaps they'd be a lower power option with high carry capacity (thinking about cargo vehicles after mass of cargo is added) and built-in propulsion, but slower and can't strafe?

@FrenetiK Many thanks! A merry christmas as well!

Damn this looks amazing ! And it's lowcost too ! Keep going, merry christmas.

@adknudso Don't feel bad: if you're DOS 2.0... I'm an abacus.

thats pretty rad

HA! yes! =D

@Diemax Nah, although i've played through that game way back then. Pretty underrated titel.

Wolf APC ? Is this based on XCOM:Apoc by chance ? regardless... looks pretty sweet I'll sub this.

This thing looks awesome!

@russvan Amen brother!

wheels and tracks would make this game amazing especially when weight is added fully, I just want to make planetary trains dammit

well you fooled me..here i thought they finally added wheels in this game. :(

@adknudso I know that feels

I look at stuff i do and think wow im good, then see stuff that others do and think, wow im like DOS 2.0

@Itharus Yeah man.

I'm rating this up just because we fucking need wheels in this game. Walker legs would be AMAZING, too.

Great work, details and it works!!!!!

WE NEED WHEELS IN THIS GAME!

@Bonedog I wanted to not cry tears of joy in my basement but... you just made me.

Well, enjoy your utility van!

like it :)
