Spark - Level 3 starter HV

From playing around with starter HV designs in Alpha 9 Creative, I noticed that the biggest impact on resource costs seems to be certain devices. In particular, using the new, green-colored Hover Thrusters instead of separate Hover Engines and Thrusters saves an enormous amount of resource cost. (Though, they are incredibly weak in terms of thrust.)

In contrast, a small (HV) Container Controller Unit costs a mere 2 Steel Plates and 1 Electronics, while each Container Expansion Unit costs a mere 2 Steel Plates. I slapped a whole bunch of them on an HV and the resource cost was barely more than before. That said, the power drain and fuel consumption was much higher than before.

@Thundercraft, Thank you.
I built it with easy upgrades in mind but i'm sure i can release a lvl 5 version of it, the cost would go up significantly however.

This is a very sleek design. And the resource cost is amazingly low.

Any chance you'll release a deluxe version of this with Modular Containers (one Container Controller Unit and one or more Container Expansion Units) instead of Cargo Boxes? Maybe with a built-in Constructor, while we're at it?
