Description
----------CREATED IN ALPHA 8E----------

And another UPDATE:
I realised the landing gears were not low enough to touch the ground, so i fixed that.
I also lowered the third person camera for a better view.

UPDATE: Added 2 CV laser drills and 2 harvest cargo boxes to the design

So i was thinking that with any useful design, the military would eventually get a hold of it, and change it to something they could use.
That is the idea behind the Gobbler MK II, it has been streamlined for a more sleek look, and constructed using combat steel, and outfitted with advanced weapons.

FEATURES:

- Sentinel Mode (Updated Hover Mode) - Turns on/off all but a few downward thrusters for a low power hover mode.
it also closes shutter doors on those thrusters for added non use protection, as well as activates
the sentry guns inside the ship
(and opens the shutter doors that hide these sentry guns when not in use).

- Core Shutdown - A switch that will turn On/Off the Core, as well as close shutter doors on the
thrusters not affected by Sentinel Mode.

- Spotlights can be turned On/Off via a switch in the Hangar Bay.

- Hangar Bay - The Gobbler has finally gotten one, although it can only hold small SV's and HV's.

- 18 Grow Plot Hydroponics bay, complete with a food processor and two fridges.

- 2 Advanced constructors.

- The MK II can actually land on the ground without the support of specialized structures, although in
the early stages of development, it still needs fairly level ground.

- 4 Pulse lasers
- 4 Plasma Turrets
- 4 Rocket Turrets
- 6 Minigun Turrets
- 2 Flak Turrets
- 3 Sentry Guns (Interior)
- 2 CV Laser Drills

- 16 Cargo Boxes (2 of which are Harvest cargo boxes)
- 4 Large Ammo Boxes
- Fully equipped medbay (with scanners, the Medic Station and Clone Chamber is located in the main hall)

The Ship is an unlock level 25, with a size class of 4

I have been wanting the Asteroid Gobbler to be more relevant than the original, so i made this version, more variations will come in the future.

Need a specialized base for landing the Gobbler MK II (as well as the Gobbler Starfighter), Then go see Tom21's work here:

Nice job on this, it seems like the new things 8.0 gave us were designed with the Asteroid Gobbler in mind!
