This Whole set is incredible. I wish it were updated with the new AI Blocks.

I developed this Drone further to bring a CargoContainer to Space and return on it's own.

Drone crushes if cargo is filled 100% with steel plates. To prevent this add 2 extra engines for uplift or reduce cargo to 1 container. Can also be re-designed as a personal cargo ship. I really liked the Style and I'm designing Cargo Ships alternatives. Will msg you when I will finish so you can test

Yes, and please a seperate blueprint for the cargo pod

I find the cargo container incredibly hard to handle safely. Had to make 3 due to the large cargo containers exploding whenever they touch something.

a link to the cargo pod would be helpful

Do you know any scripting? If you combine this with SAM v2 you could make this far more efficient

@silver.talon - Thanks! I'm hoping to build some additional facilities to go with this, and drones for other environments are on the list. Not sure when they'll be done though.

As a quick fix, I think that the atmos could be swapped for ions, with two of the lifting thrusters flipped in orientation. I've not tested this, but the drone has plenty of power.

Hey 5URG3, really cool drone! I had a player on my server who really liked it combined with you spaceport and HGV. Do you think you could come up with a space version of this drone? I thought of trying myself, but you can maintain your style far better than I. Thanks!

@Jim Pickens - It's included with the Earnest HGV: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1921070226

Where is cargo crate download

Making a little boom to the side should help with the camera. One each to either side will allow the operator to swap back and forth for good views.

great set up

@Echo Mande - Thanks for the feedback. Both good points. I have an idea about the camera, expect an update tomorrow.

I tried this for a quick run.

The main problems I encountered were that the ventral camera is in my mind upside down (forward ought to be top) and that there is no way to see down around tthe container if one is carried. This makes it very hard to position a container without an external point of view (camera or person)
