Description
I perceived an absence of superheavy techs in GSO's line-up. Now you all have to suffer this stupid bird with me.

Type: Hovercraft
Control: Human + AI
Role: Combat, Artillery, Defense
Top Speed: ~85km/h, ~127km/h with Boosters
Cost: 2,363,691 BB
Weapons:
- 2x Big Bertha
- 4x GSO Missile Battery
- 4x Megaton Cannon
- 25x 3-Pound Cannon

Strengths:
- Made almost entirely of GSO parts, improving price point and availability.
- Heavily armed.
- Weapon set enables it to engage most targets in its frontal arc.
- Secondary weapons able to engage targets at all angles.
- Large quantity of 3-pound cannons enables powerful close-range indirect fire.
- Heavily armored.
- Most vital parts buried under its hull.
- Very dense with an internal skeleton supporting many critical parts.
- Armored control box containing most of its support equipment and cabs buried deep under its hull.
- Mostly covered by shield and repair bubbles.
- Multiple redundant cabs all buried underneath its hull.
- Large quantity of batteries.
- Stabilizing computer, block controller, hover controller, speedometer, altimeter, power and fuel gauges, radar, minimap radar, and surveying radar.
- Multiple redundant radars, power gauges, and fuel gauges.
- Anchor and solar panels provide electrical independence.
- Mobile furnace generators with attached receivers enable automated power generation at night.
- Well-lit and easy to see at night.

Weaknesses:
- Stupid bird face.
- Very expensive despite being made out of GSO blocks.
- Cheats its GSO-only design direction by using Venture and Better Future blocks; block controller, hover controller, speedometer, minimap radar, and surveying radar.
- Uses many rare and high-tier GSO blocks that push availability into the late game.
- Complexity of parts and large quantity of lights may cause framerate issues at night.
- Offensively unpleasant to drive.
- Poor turning, negligible lateral movement.
- Low hover height and poor hover strength make crossing rough terrain difficult, limiting effective top speed.
- Must slow to climb hills or it will risk breaking off pieces on its chin.
- Must carefully descend cliffs due to poor hover strength.
- Subpar balance.
- Minimal fuel reserves due to inefficiency of GSO boosters.
- GSO blocks are generally frail.
- Very long startup time for shield and repair bubbles.
- Limited array of GSO solar panels greatly slows rate of power generation.
- Inefficient power storage for its size.
- Very large quantity of shield and repair bubbles makes passive power consumption very high.
- Resource receivers for furnace generators are very high off the ground and unlikely to collect resources.
- Furnace generators cannot filter out chunk types they cannot burn, and will eventually require manual removal of unusable resources.
- Bird face is frankly intolerable.
- Large and ungainly target.
- Cannot defend itself against attackers underneath it.
- Incomplete shield and repair envelope.
- Altimeter highly vulnerable to incoming fire when shields are down due to positioning inside that horrible bird face.
- Difficult to anchor; must be on mostly flat land.
- Small block magnet is cosmetic and unlikely to serve a purpose.
