Description
"Damon nodded. To his right, down by the flat area Third Platoon had designated as their drop zone, a working Stinger was towing its lifeless counterpart. "I’m glad the flagship sent you what they could," he said, glancing at the simple, four-wheeled rectangular box, its front covered in reinforced glass. The towing vehicle had its heavy machine gun attached to its roof, while Xander’s strikers had removed the other’s. "I just hoped it would be more reliable."
"It beats walking," Xander said with a shrug."

-From Emergence of Order

For longer reconnaissance missions, or other planetside operations with limited dropship flight time, the Strike Infantry would usually ask for a Stinger light utility vehicle to be dropped to provide mobility and basic survival equipment. With its survival kit its crew has everything they need to make rudimentary constructions, and if extra power is required it has materials for building a solar panel already on board. If it should be overturned, the gyroscope can be overridden to flip it back.



General characteristics:
● Crew: 1x Driver + 4x Passengers
● Length: 6 m
● Width: 3,5 m
● Height: 3,5 m

Armaments:
● 1x 25mm Fixed Gatling Gun

Features:
● Designed to be carried by a Ghost U-type dropship.
● Adjustable undercarriage for driving in terrain.
● Survival Kit for basic mining and equipment production, and for respawning.
● Internal information screens showing the vehicle’s heading, position relative to a horizon, ammunition and fuel storage.
● T.N.F. markings, using the Fleet’s logo converted to monospace by Whiplash141.
● Spare hydrogen and oxygen bottles, tools, weapons and ammo in cockpit and seats.
● Air vent with depressurize on, which renews the cockpits oxygen supply when in atmosphere, or in a hangar.
● Survival ready!

Known issues:
● None at the moment.

Acknowledgements:
● The information screens use MMaster's LCD 2 script.

Very nice modular design, I really liked how the modules get embedded inside the dropship's hull

Gotcha. Thanks a bunch!

The wheel settings can be found for each individual wheel in the control panel, or by pressing the buttons I've placed on the toolbar. To build this in survival, you will have to first build the undercarriage, adjust the wheel height to the lowest possible position, and then build the rest: https://steamproxy.net/profiles/76561198000055750/screenshot/789733700598640381

Is there a wheel settings somewhere? I had to remove the suspension and reinstall it to get the wheels to spawn in so I could fit them in. Unless there's a trick to doing it. Does the adjusting the wheel height let the wheels spawn in, even if they aren't attached?

Why require the drop ship?

Other then that I love it great design ! :steamhappy:

Thank you! Ash, I might have an idea that can realize that, I'll do some experimentation.

Very compact and efficient design, love it!

This is amazing! Great work with the design! Even the components seems easy to manufacture and deploy! Might I suggest creating a deployable turret system for reinforcing front battle lines or quick perimeter defense.

Well done, it is a viable alternative! It is possible to construct the entire blueprint though, wheels and seats included. The trick, it seems, is to adjust the wheel height to its lowest position (press 7 on the toolbar until it stops adjusting). You can then build in the space above the wheel suspesion.

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1766550276 I made a slight adjustment and it works perfectly in survival but you lose two seats.
