VME Broddr - Armed Space-Tug

The Broddr[en.wiktionary.org] Armed Utility Pod is a Tug, made for space and is intended to be operated in hazardous environments. A selection of offensive weaponry and a basic layer of armor plating enables the Broddr to venture into and salvage equipment from Pirate- and Factorum facilities.

Full Battery-powered, the Broddr has an average operational range of 30 minutes, depending on flight behavior. Mission-Equipment consists of multiple spotlights to support navigation in dark, narrow areas as well as Magnetic plates for parking or flexible towing of salvage.

Electronic systems include an Event-Controller, which will automatically ready the Broddr for operation, upon detaching the connector. Vice versa, docking the connector will secure the Tug for the mothership's departure, turning off the thrusters, lights and switching the batteries to recharge.
Two action relays allow the pilot to link the tug up with it’s mothership to remotely execute various commands like opening hangar doors or manage defense systems, if hostile reinforcements enter the AO.

To face various threats during deployment, the Broddr sports a Gatling-Gun to counter hostile small defense installations. In addition, a manual-loaded Rocket-Launcher allows the pilot to quickly respond to more potent threats, like drones, or blast through barriers.
However, this is not a combat-vessel. It is advised to properly clear and secure the AO before deploying the tug.


* If you don’t own the Wasteland-DLC, the ship will spawn without the Hazard-stripe paint.

I was originally running the ship with pistons to reach easier into the cookie-jar. However, they have been to much of an annoyance in survival, being either unstable or messing with the control of the ship. Therefore I decided to remove them before upload.
Been to lazy to redo the screenshots. Sorry about that.
