    Progress is slow since I only have an hour or two of gaming on work nights. Made a conveyor in the foundry, so it looks like it creates metal plates for the Zirax empire. The whole POI still needs major work, texturing, etc.

    I'm plan on there being at least 2 possible locations for the core, so players won't be able to just make a beeline for the core every time.

    The idea with the Steel Plates looks great!

    The Heavy Tower can be built without the Laser Turret with Level 3, therefore I BP'ed 2 Versions, a "WW"- Without Weapon and an "L"-Laser
    (BA) Heavy Tower WW.jpg
    Both Versions are free, but only here - not on STEAM

    I think you came up with a unique concept, I wish I had thought of it.

    ... now I'm thinking about how this could be applied to a HV.
    I do not think you could keep the same body shape.

    Currently I am thinking about something similar to the "water skeeter" I did, but with a much higher elevation so that you can drive it over the miner.

    Hmmm...
    I defiantly need to scale it up, move the cockpit so you can drive over the miner.
    Decisions, decisions.

    Take a look at this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1382202856 - this is a CV, and just for inspiration. The 3/4 round center section would be a good place to start with an HV design. You could just pull up along the side of an auto-miner and slip it into the center section. No need to go over the top of the auto-miner.

    Scrapped the skeeter idea, converted a cricket to a HV for idea number 2.
    Still debating.

    That is a novel and very cool HV. The pic is also well done.

    Started a new HV miner today. A heavy industrial vehicle currently designated FA-026 Lockdown. That name is temporary, but will probably stay.
    It's not finished, i've only done a quick once-over for texture and painting. I'll finish it tomorrow.

    If you're wondering where the drills are at, it uses a retractable drill turret in the underside that points straight down. This new one is geared for after mass and volume are added to cargo. Will make mining much harder if you're trying to stuff 50t of iron ore into a single harvest box and expect to lift it with hover engines rated to 20t.
    Giant load-bearing HVs will be the way of the future.

    @Na_Palm You remember your "request" about a certain CV? Well, I parked it in front of my Base. I went mining and dismantling the Titan-Parts. When I came back all seemed normal...I emptied my Water Generators drove back to the Main Gate and...o_O

    Your CV seems to be not very fond of the Arid environment;).
    The All Black color appeared after I spawned it in.... very different to what it looked on the BP picture:confused:

    If you check your paint tool against the ship, the color pallette should be blank. I've never seen it happen with CVs, only with BAs and only when you spawn them in after changing their settings.
    You should be able to fix it by opening the paint tool and reseting the colors to the default ones. It'll overwrite any custom colors, but you can fix them manually yourself afterwards.

    Finished the Lockdown today. It's not the fastest HV around but it makes nice holes and carries a lot.

    I might take out some of the industrial yellow out of the cockpit area...
