ZG Valkyrie AAA c3 (Airborne Avalanche Artillery)

Description
A fun, ultra manoeuvrable, flying Avalanche Missile 'artillery' based on QuackDucks "Racket Artillery": https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1248559442

The whole tech is sloped back slightly so that missiles will fire up and over terrain and obstacles, homing in on targets 200-300m out (beyond direct weapon targeting range). Making it virtually invincible.

My version has the benefit of powerful Zero Propellers and secreted wings to let it flit about wherever it likes. A wide, stable, fast wheel base helps it drive (and fly) at 110mph. (Pro tip: drive backwards to stay glued to the ground, using "invert steering" option.) Great for exploring, commuting between mission locations, most Venture racing and flying missions, etc. This little devil should rip through late game campaign very convincingly!

It can be anchored for use use as a deadly turret and has 3 potential charging sources (the "c3" part): Solar Generators, eating trees or scrapping fuel resource blocks. e.g. one Venture Oliete brick will fill the batteries, with a couple chunks for the road (charges on the move, seeing as Scrappers continue to output after unanchoring).

The Rapid canons are just bonus damage at mid-ranges, not quite reaching 200m when on the flat. It's not a good tech for close range combat because all the main weapons are very slow turning (currently). But it has fast healing and it's manoeuvrability and speed should let it always escape.

@zyezong - it depends what you think of as "spare"; I'm full time chronically ill and part time game enthusiast and YouTuber. Takinng care of myself with ME/CFS takes most of my energy, but I do have a lot for time for TerraTech.

Thanks for following me. :bigups: I'd really like to make individual videos on this creation and a dozen others. Maybe I'll get around to them, as part of my crafting playthrough series. But I have a few things in sequence before that I want to show other players how to do. :sfsmile: We'll see. Hopefully I won't get burned out.

I know, right! I've just driven it about for hours, in Creative and R&D. :steamhappy:
