Introducing, The Ultimate HV I originally designed, or started to design, this for the Red vs Blue server. That is still the intention, but as I kept going, I decided it also stands pretty well on its own. This is a massive, massive HV. 600+ tons. Turns sluggishly even with several hundred RCS units, and it is not going to win any super massive HV races, but it has tons of armor, and lots of guns(plus more room for engines if you really want to try and win that race. ) To some degree it is still a work in progress - the interior could use some work... actually, probably a lot of work... and each "side car" is empty because I want to leave room for any additional features that the Dev's dream up. The two front pylons have a 3 space tall opening in the very front - this is for direct troop assault(even has shutters to act as boarding ramps.) Comes equipped with 12 passenger seats. Is very much for PVP - each side has at least 3 layers of armor, several have 4 or 5+, and there is room for more if that is your thing. @Slam Jones this is for the "blue team" as it seems like they are a little under-represented. Also; "gauntlet thrown" sir. For some reason steam is not giving me a link, so here is the link via the steam website. Hope that is enough: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=797958373&searchtext=Ultimate HV Edit: I am aware that this goes waaaaaay over the weapons limit... but I could not bring myself to put only 1 artillery turret or just 4 plasma on this behemoth. Feel free to remove them if that is important to you. Enjoy!
Yesterday I built the workshps largest HV, so I thought today I would balance and go a little smaller.... Introducing Micro. A fun, well-armed, zippy little starter HV! Granted level 7 is a tad more than a pure starter HV, but I have never had trouble reaching level 7 even on the harder difficulty settings, so I am going out on a limb with this description. This ship can actually glide long distances if you start off a ridge or mountain top. It is great fun. Steam website link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=798752807&searchtext=Micro
Yep; Lots of the Cloning tool. Now I have a layered file I just change the values & add an image Thanks!
With the success of Micro, I realized I might have a talent for awesome smaller HV's so I thought I would spend the evening building a few, here is the first: Introducing Zone, Micro's slightly bigger, slightly more expensive, but lower level brother. Fast, agile, and well suited to later modification. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=802799212 Enjoy!
The second: Introducing, Filament. A slightly larger, more for mid-game, HV. Despite its slightly larger size(as opposed to teeny tiny) it handles really well. Painted with a cool glowing orange. Comes with 4 rocket launchers, but could be replaced with other stuff as well; expanded to include more turrets. Edit: Oops, forgot the steam link - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=802900834 Enjoy!
Third: Introducing, Serpent River. A smaller, a-symmetrical HV that is well armed, incredibly nimble, and very fast. Designed with this forum thread in mind: http://empyriononline.com/threads/share-your-a-symmetrical-vessel-designs.7587/ Covers terrain with remarkable agility. Will also glide. Steam Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=802930329 Enjoy!
Introducing, Fantasy. A powerful, mid-to-late survival game Assault Hovercraft. Excellent acceleration, Hardened steel, 4 plasma turrets, and an artillary turret make this a terrifying package for your alien foes and peace of mind for your loot gathering and mining operations. Possesses lots of storage, a constructor, and everything your Empyrion fantasy requires... Will glide off of mountain tops, and land as gently as a leaf. Is kind to the mid-to-late game wallet. Steam Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=803682158 Enjoy!
Introducing, Mistral. A cheap, fast, lower level HV that is perfect for your survival starter needs. Armed with two miniguns and plenty of storage this should help measurably towards getting you to that first POI or shield you until you fetch enough resources for a spiffy new SV. This is my attempt at an open-cockpit design and also let me experiment with glass. Will glide when launching off of mountain tops, and the view from inside the cockpit as you zoom through forests is awesome. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=804175540 Enjoy!
Introducing, Progenitor. Designed to be a step up from my other HV, Fantasy. So; heavier, even more aggressive armament, VERY fast for it's weight, agile, and not too expensive for it's potency. It does not have an artillary turret, but both shoulders have positions for them - I had a difficulty here as I built the ship for symmetry and there is a current limit of 1 for the Arty turrets. If they change this I will update the design. Will glide and manuver in the air. Reaches into the game code and changes the game type from "survival" to "sit back and eat space fries while obliterating alien, critter, and trees alike" Progenitor best viewed while listening to: Steam link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805199566 Enjoy!
For the HV thread, I am going to try and combine the posts of the two new HV's I built. Introducing, Dust Cloud Assault http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805759833 and Spiral Island Assault http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805759675 The better descriptions are on the respective workshop pages... I am getting tired of copying and pasting things at the moment. Enjoy!
Introducing, Arcus. Something of a mix between my other hovercrafts Progenitor and Fantasy. Designed with the revenge scenario in mind - specifically that scenario where you are on Masperon and equipped with that shiny new SV and CV. You then arrogantly think, "P1 Super Fortress?! Pfff! I can take you!" And then it turns out you cannot. This ship is a monster - with lots of everything; storage, power, fuel, etc. For its weight, a mighty 87+ tons, it also handles very well. It will swerve through a forest and even glides medium distances. If you want more speed, just replace some of the blocks on its base with more thrusters. Not designed for PVP... but, it is all hardened steel, and with a touch more armor at certain points it would have three layers - and that is not too shabby. Maybe ideal for the Blue team on the Red vs Blue server - or that kind of thing.

Back to small! Introducing, Dream. A cheap, level 5, starter HV. Is super fast and highly maneuverable - will glide off of mountain tops. Not very heavily armed, but there are 3 more gun positions available, plus two more ready for expansion, when you have the resources. Should still excel at mining and anti-drone duties. Not for PVP Steam Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=806427760 Enjoy!
As per friendly request by Kieve, I will limit my postings to just 2 or so images. I do not want to blow up these forums. Sorry if I was frustrating anyone.
Introducing, Omega. A big fun ship that is sure to wow. With the hover engines located in neat recesses, a decent speed, low key but predatory color job, and decent armament; this hover craft is stompingly powerful - has plenty of room for more guns if that is your thing. Definitely not for PVP - but it could arranged to be with some additions. Steam Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=807169944 Enjoy!
Introducing, Light cycle. I wanted to make the Workshop's cheapest HV(in addition to a super chea HV for my own collection,) but I also wanted it to be something that thrilled! Enter Light-cycle. Painfully cheap and with a spawn time less than most starter BA's. Use this HV to get you to that Akua titan wreck section you had always dreamed of possessing in the early game! Definitly not for Combart PVP - but is very useful for multiplayer - gives a nice quick start vehicle in case you need one. About half way through building this I realized that the thought that had been bouncing aroudn in my head - "Light cycle sounds familiar somehow.... wait, wait... where do I know that from?" Tron! So that was not my intention, but it works well enough for that role. Steam Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=807243730 Anywho, I hope you enjoy it!
