Silver Hawk - lvl1 micro HV - 8.5

Description
This is a build for a quick easy hovercraft as a replacement for the bike using the new all in one hover pod blocks. The entire ship takes under 40 copper / iron / silicon materials to build and 4mins - fuel use is extremely low at this time with a single fuel tank (85% full) having over 22 days worth of flight time.

It has a top speed of 40/km-h - a hover height of 1.5m and is pretty difficult to flip with 4 hover pods in the corners.

Had some friends testing this and found something really amusing - apparently its so light it can fly up a almost vertical cliff side. It basically just rolls right over any mountian on the arid starter world.

1 Cargo box
1 Genny / Fuel Tank
1 o2 tank
4 Hover Thrusters (Shift+space if you get stuck in water for emergency surface)

My favorite starter HV! It's a hoot to drive!

remind me when the SV to HV docking comes out and I'll make a new version of the vehicle

I actually have several ideas when it comes out that are to help with early game development

You have no idea how sad I am that this is broken in the latest version. Ive always used it up to start with, or as just a quick vehicle that reliably worked.

I'm hoping to rebuild it for 9.0 as well with a bit of a upgraded design and a bit more storage and stuff - I'm thinking of removeable panels where fridges and constructors can go that way at lvl 1 you can build it and keep upgrading it as you play

yeah I've probably used it over 15-20 hours now and find it pretty hillarious how easily it gets over things I mean I've just flew up the side of a cliff sideways once stopped spun flipped around my friends hv as it was chugging around then flew off just to anoy him to the point he just snagged one of his own

This is my all-time favorite starter vehicle so far. For how cheap it is, It handles the best out of every lvl1 hv I've used and it looks great too.
