Hoverhog

Description
The Hoverhog!

This is a VERY FAST, completely hydrogen-powered hover-bike.

Features:
  • Parking pod included with blueprint!! For easy docking/undocking.
  • 4 nose-mounted gatling guns
  • 4 small hover engines (Mod)
  • 1 medium cargo for loot-holding
  • 1 small hydrogen gen - to generate some emergency hydrogen in case you forgot to refuel.
  • 1 hydrogen tank! - Keep an eye on your fuel.
  • some sound blocks for tunes.

This bad boy can go 0-100 in 4.5 seconds! Light and agile, and with a bit of bite.
Wing-fins allow for steering at high speeds without wasting precious hydrogen.
Can cruise around for quite a while, depending on how much you use the thrusters. You can go pretty far if you're careful and conscious of your thruster use. About 20 minutes of fuel time if you're careful, very much less if you're not. Press 5 to park in the field when not driving, as idling while hovering still spends some gas to keep it afloat.
This build is quite efficient in terms of power and thrust. There is JUST enough power for the hovering and other systems, and the thrusters use next to none while providing a very strong boost.
However, due to only having ONE hydrogen tank, and not using ANY batteries, you will need to refuel somewhat often. Thankfully, refueling from zero to FULL takes just around 10 seconds.
Parking-pod is included for your convenience!

(Hydrogen thrusters will stop working when your fuel gauge is at 23% - it's because hydrogen engines still contain some gas in them. Keen oversight)

Toolbar:
1 - Gatlings
3 - Nose camera
4 - Cruise mode on/off
5 - Thrusters/engines on/off (useful for parking out in the field without turning off power - and generating hydrogen from ice)
9 - Unpark from parking-pod

Survival Setup:
Prepare a parking spot for your new Hoverhog! an advanced rotor in the floor (like in the above pictures) is needed. Make sure it's connected to the conveyor network so it can refuel.
Next, spawn a small rotor head from it. Build a straight conveyor, junction and projector just like in the picture.
Load this blueprint into the projector, turn on "keep projection" to make for easy repairs later. Then the next 3 number settings should be exactly this:
1 = horizontal offset
1 = vertical offset
-2 = forward offset
At this point, it should be lined up PERFECTLY. Start welding up your new hoverbike!

Creative Setup:
Paste it in. Put a battery on the parking-pod part. Hop in cockpit and press 9 to undock from parking-pod. Have fun.
