    Thanks for the info. In fact they could have simply done it straight from the very start and avoid a patchwork of band-aids mechanics (like physics). Working on a good foundation spares lots of hassles along the way, and we have seen these all along with patches "adapting" content to make it fit together.

    Using an HV as a mobile base has worked well in the early game. Piloting it became much easier with practice. I've managed to map roughly half of the starter planet and thanks to the extreme range of the mobile scanner I've found plenty of wreckage, minerals and POIs. Today I reached the point where I needed things that the HV's constructor can't make. Luckily, I found my way to a crashed capital ship that has enough goodies for several games. I only needed to core it and install a small generator.
    Here's the ship with my trusty van conversion HV:

    I'm looking forward to this. I've had an eye on that ship design for awhile and it looks like y'all did a bang up job. :)

    The Gun Turret is actual a low Level def Base. made of Concrete. Level 3 gives you all for it

    ANT RC2_2018-06-11_05-38-53.png

    The other one is also a small base. I call it a Defense Grid, made of concrete too. Unlocks at Level 10. Can be submerged under the surface until only the guns point out.
    1 Gun Turret in the center as support for the 28 Sentry Guns.
    Intended for Critter infested areas or part of a defense network around rural places where cannons would destroy the peaceful character of the settlement.

    Cool use of the build system's geometry on both. That second one looks like an ammo eater though! :D

    I started a new game today and hit FF a bit, but when I got to the Titan wrecks I was swarmed by hordes of spiders.
    The HV exhausted the ammo I had added and I had to back off to craft more.
    My meat stores are full now. Spider burger anyone?
    That was the spawn rate on Medium?

    My second project today, updating the HPOD HV's into mobile bases for 8.x.
    I had to sacrifice a few cargo boxes, but the clone chamber and medic station fit.
    Also, considering the scarcity of Sathium in the starter system, I stripped anything requiring it out.

    I will update the existing blueprints when 8.x goes live.

    I had a pleasant surprise when I tried to transfer fuel cells from a water generator back to my inventory. Shift F works! No more clicking and dragging. Awesome!!! :)

    Three days ago I started a game to see whether an HV would work as an early game base. Here's where I started:

    And here's where I am now:
    NewGame-180610-1447_2018-06-11_01-57-13.png

    I still haven't had to build a base. I found a wrecked CV with an Advanced Constructor that only needed a core and a small generator to be in business. I used that to make better gear for myself and the HV. Next up is POI assaults.
