Are the RCS needed to get the HV in such an inclined angle? If not you can remove them all and place a constructor somewhere.

This showed up in my small vehicle BPs so i built it to go to space. This is a hover vehicle. Dont be stupid like me. Why did it populate in the small vehicles BPs if its designated a hover vehicle. Blew most of the cobalt i had found so far. darn it.

It's a fine construction of course, but I wonder why you did publish this one, it's a total under-power and under-feature compared to your excellent Drill PuP Auger which has so much more inclusive the 2 missing docking pads, 4 turrets instead of 1, almost triple the cargo space . So what? Ah yes, Tier 2 intead of Tier 3...Are you serious? Who really cares about that please?

Yes, the missing docking pad is nasty, I cannot dock to any lifter or CV, I can land but the lifter or CV will not start if not docked.

I think you forget a docking pad

It's amazing what this HV can do !! Thanks XCaliber :-)

Pretty cool little desing, but no docking possible. Needs update

Glad you tore it up and refitted it! It's why I upload to the workshop. Thanks for sharing :)

Noticed some significant balance/flipping problems, especially in drill mode. Tried it out in Reforged Ededn and ended up tearing out the cockpit to rebuild the insides. Removed 5 of 6 RCS, upgrading generators to 2x advanced, one med fuel, armored cockpit without the front pieces (easier access), shield and pentaxid tank. Could use another CPU extender, but that problem existed before the rework. Overall though, i find mining SV's to be easier to operate, especially in large deposits.

ahh thanks The Noob! Ill remove the second 1. It was a symmetry mistake

Thanks JohnNav :)

Nice job, XCaliber.
But...this design is not compatible if the component limitation is active in the server settings. There's a Detector over the limit.

Seems to me it all revolves around your Hover Engine layout and the Drill Switch that signals the fore and aft Hover Engines off. (IMO: Makes rocking and turning the craft underground an ease)

thanks JohnNav!

Still the best defensive UTILITY HV !!!

Ill update it thanks

Just a minor annoyance after the latest patch, but any chance this could be updated to have only one detector, so it could be spawned in default settings servers / scenarios?
Really liking the build, I'd just rather have it as an subscribed blueprint for possible future updates instead of copying it from yours and then modifying it.

I'm really glad to hear that :) Thanks so much

Such a fantastic little mining vehicle. It's able to get out of some pretty ridiculous mining tunnels with ease compared to a lot of other designs I've used. Thank you!

Make sure theres docking pads on the bottom...if not im sorry lol add them for now till I fix

Will not dock to my base, SV, or CV :( docking pads arent going on my CV either. Any workarounds?

Whoa thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found Empyrion.

Sometimes heroes don't have their own movies. I'm new in this game and just like Space Engineers Community, here we have a great Community with a real big masters of design. You are a big one! A Legend! Thanks for all time dispend for us!!

I will be uodating when A12 drops

Will there be an updated version with the docking pads?

lol thanks Guys :)

@XCaliber the Augur is a beast btw :) Thanks for sharing it.

@Slovenec Ok, the docking pads are indeed missing. Works fine now =). Thanks.

@XCaliber; I was just guessing, not sure if it is the actual problem but it sounds like it. Dont worry tho even if you did forget it, it happens.

omg did I forget docking pads lol

@living Target; Check if it has docking pads

Somehow the Augur doesn't dock to anything for me. Am I doing something wrong? I have another smaller Miner which docks to my Base and my SV without a problem.

I hear ya pawn :)

while i do like this HV. Nothing will replace the Auger Mk 2 for me. The amount of work the guns do in the field for me saves my ass every time.

Thanks jtg
I thought I left space for a constructor

love the design. i suggest that you consider removing 3 rcs and replace them with a constructor. I did this and could not find any change in proformance. Additionally when you can refine the ore into ingot, you take up less volume and it is nice to have a constructor to make food and bullets in the field. imo

Thank you Sir!

Awesome miner XCal!

Thanks Dan :)

Good miner XCaliber...and moves great....o and love the yellow back!..just gives it that XCaliber fibe :)

Thanks again J :)

Sweet miner. I used the original version in game before. Awesome work!

Appreciate that Terry

Another great miner for my collection. I like the new version, it is as awesome as the original.
