Hyena Rescue Runabout mk1 (starter ship)

This vehicle is designed for Survival mode with Advanced Vehicles enabled. It is also designed to be a starter ship and does not use any blocks that require unlocking.

The Runabout is a sleek rescue boat which seats 6, has cargo netting in the rear and fuel ports (in case Limited Fuel is enabled). Can do around 60 knots on calm ocean, plenty of speed for early game. I've been able to reach all the missions at the beginning of the game without issue.

Features my Simple Engine Controller (SEC) micro mk2, which gives you a hassle-free piloting experience. The craft is powered by two small diesel engines which are both automatically managed by the SEC. Engine RPS and temperature is monitored, and there are indicators for stall conditions (if clutched in at too low a torque) and automatic overheat protection (note: this does not work if the boat's underside coolant ports are exposed to air).

Two gears: 1:1 for high speed and 3:1 for high torque. Also features a reverse gear.

Contains one searchlight which can be aimed and basic running lights.

Holds 1500 liters of fuel.

To use:

- Press Engine Start
- Wait for RPS to reach about 20.
- Engage the clutch.

To kill the engine, just turn off the Engine Run button.

Note: The pilot's chair also contains keymaps to the common button functions, but since I cannot change the defaults for the chair's button state it will take you toggling things on/off before they sync up to the actual physical buttons.

Note2: Currently unstable when above %75 throttle in high gear (even in calm water). If this bothers you, you can turn the power of the engines down.
