    Today a made a supplementry hover, as a touristic 'explorer' kind of thing in mind.

    Still looks a bit blocky though, doesnt it?

    Jmtc, I love the Sentinel and I love the Albatross. Any chance you might be up for making a level 10 CV that is riiiiight in between the two? :D

    I was just noting some incongruities of some perfectly marvelous looking equipment.

    1. CV rocket launchers look like artillery barrels.
    2. CV plasma turret barrels look like pulse lasers while the pulse laser turrets look altogether different.
    3. Gatling guns appear to have larger caliber barrels yet use the same ammo as the minigun turrets, while hand-held miniguns use a separate ammo.
    4. Rocket turrets and SV rocket launchers appear to have 8 to 10 launch tubes which would suggest the ability to fire rapidly, or all at once, the 8 to 10 rockets in the launch tubes.

    None of this makes any real difference. Just with so much attention to detail, I thought I'd mention it. ;)

    I remembered that once a while ago I reconstructed a BP which I found on the Workshop. I believe it was by McFly and it showed a wheeled CV.
    So I took the effort to search it on my external Hard Drive and finally found it...again. Took a fast few changes... from A8 - A10 ... design wise.
    For now I need it only for size comparing with the future Mech Hangar and his supply chain Vehicles.

    Tonight I worked some more on the pentaxid rich Crystalline moon. Think this weekend I'll work on adding a small custom POI set to it. :D

    It's a bad idea to go and find the three parts of the Titan in the Zirax zone center ... in the middle of the radiated biome ... and do it on foot. Reality I had an HV ... and it exploded. I had a motorcycle stored for emergencies ... and it exploded ... Running was the only exit !!! But to be mounted on the motorcycle and see the explosion and to clear the smoke to see the character go out on foot was what we say here "priceless"! An epic start game !!!

    A quote of a famous TK-Model springs to my mind: "Just lay Down! You are already Dead!":D;)

    Hahaha I was dead 5 times !! until I ran in circles to return to the remains of the HV! Rescue material and survival builder. Hide under the back of the Titan and make another motorcycle and run away without my backpack. It was the best for a long time !! The revenge will be terrible !!!

    Had a bad day in RL so I started later as usual to continue with the Mech-Hangar...got also a bit distracted by the re-designing of the Ore Collector CV

    Fiddled a bit on scripts….
    At least I know now wether I'm on PvP playfield or not ;)
    20190711043601_1.jpg
    Yes.
    These LCD's ARE dynamic! (Using: https://github.com/GitHub-TC/EmpyrionScripting)

    @ASTIC
    It would be really cool if you could implement PentaxidTank just like Fuel- and OxygenTank's! ;)
    (and while we're at it, Shield charge!!)

    (or would that be needed to be adressed at the @EleonGameStudios ?)

    Just bugging since neither your original (but changed device)
    Code:
    {{#use E.S.PentaxidTank}}
    {{bar Content 0 Capacity 20 }}
    {{~math Content '/' Capacity}}
    {{~format . '{0,8:P2}'}}
    {{~/math}} =
    {{~format Content '{0,7:0.0}'}} / {{format Capacity '{0,7:0.0}'}} Pentaxid
    {{/use}}

    Nor my modified:
    Code:
    {{#itemlist E.S.Items '2294'}}
    There are {{Count}} light years as reseves.
    {{bar Count 0 1000 10 }}
    {{~math Count '/' 1000 }}
    {{~format . '{0,8:P2}'}}
    {{~/math}} Warp Fuel
    {{/itemlist}}
    
    worked. (my modified Code is mostly to get the bar shown.. until it should work)
    I did have 1 stack in the tank and 2 stacks in Cargo boxes on the vessel. (SP, Creative)

    I thought I had finally found a way to mount laser drills vertically on a HV.
    I was going to mount detectors upside down then use the replace blocks command to swap them out.

    I got the mining HV ready....
    (The whole idea is that you drive the HV over a deposit, drill straight down into it then fly away.)
    20190710213848_1.jpg

    .... Looked up the block ID's, typed in the command with baited breath.

    20190710213758_1.jpg

    No....... Experiment FAILED!
    Spent some time going over every HV block and deco blocks looking for anything I could mount upside down that was 1,6,1...
    .. Failed.

    <sniff> Oh well, there went that idea. (for now)

    Use the copy and paste tool in creative mode.

    Note that the drills probably won't work though. :(

    Try it out. :D

    Well that worked...
    20190710231801_1.jpg

    .. and it did not, you cannot select them to fire them.
    They do not even appear in the menu.
    20190710231816_1.jpg

    Experiment failed, and this is one I wish could have worked.

    I also decided to upload the updated blueprint.
    The drills may not work, but I still like it from a cosmetic standpoint.

    HV-Tortoise-Excavator-V2

    Who knows? Maybe some day the devs will upload a patch that makes them work.
