Fang The Rover

Description
FANG [6000HP Beast Rover]
This mod adds a small grid rover blueprint to your f10 menu. Its fast, its stable and can climb 90° walls.

Introduction
You can count on Fang to explore, search for ore deposits, or travel long distances. Fang has 3 Modes that can be activated, Racing, Off-road and Emergency mode for safer driving experience. Stable driving even at +140m/s +500km/h in racing mode. And it has Defensive Autoturrets for hostile environments.


Race Mode:

Its lowers the suspension height and activates the forward and downward thrusters.
It can reach high speeds in a short time with forward thrusts. With downward thrusts, it has more grip for turning at high speeds and climbing more than 90° walls without tipping over.
Also cool underglow effect.
Off-road Mode:

Increases suspension height for driving on rough and uneven terrain. Enables rear wheels steering for sharper turns. Since the center of gravity is higher, do not accelerate the vehicle too much in this mode, the vehicle may somersault.
Emergency Mode:

Not for driving, just for emergencies. Activates all gyroscopes and upwards thrusters. This is the first option on the first hotbar as you will be constantly turning it on and off. As you know the terrain is not always flat so this is your life saver. If you're falling from higher than you expected, you'd better open the parachutes as well. It happens to even the best driver. ;)


Pros:
  • Its Fast
  • Responsive car dashboard thanks to Automatic LCD2 script.[Example= (Gyroscopes:ON, Reactors:OFF)]
  • Fluently working drawbar script.
  • Projector for easy repair and crafting.
  • Solar panel on the top for the most unexpected situations.
  • Clear terminal list and "g" menu.
Cons:
  • Its really Fast
  • Survival Kit is in a somewhat difficult place to reach. I tried.
  • Rear Connector does not align with large grid connector even if you lower the suspension.(docking from the back can be a bit of a hassle)
  • Cockpit is not airtight.
  • Very low cargo capacity (1xMedium cargo container and 2xconnectors)

Drawbar System

Caravan Trailer

Press 2. Hotbar 5th option for automatic drawbar system. Its pretty simple, press the button and approach to a vertical hinge part. Use the rear camera for a better view. Blinking yellow light means its ready to attach. Piston will automaticly extend when its close to a target. Script repeatedly sends "attach" command until you able to attach. When its attached, script sets all hinge and rotor torques to zero for free swinging. Blinking yellow light turns green when its attached.
If you press the button again while it is attached, hinge will detach and piston will retract. Rotor will rotate until the hinge is horizontal and ready to be attachable again.

Docking on uneven terrain may cause somersaults. Save before attaching the hinge. The script recognizes blocks by names so don't change any drawbar related names.
The Drawbar and Windshield are sub-grids. You need the "Multigrid Projector" mod to build by manually projecting.
Make sure in-game scripts are turned on in world settings.

I like how you added cons to the description. Honesty deserves respect.
