Version 1.1 Update - See update changes below.

The Basilisk-HWP is a heavy weapons platform designed for combat and a coop crew. It features room for 5 players including the driver. It is loaded with the maximum amount of weapons allowed in game. The design is that of a defensive nature keeping most parts (Thrusters, Cockpit, etc) in places that are hard to hit. Room was left in to change cockpits as well as allowing for addition glass protection. Despite its size, it moves decently quick packing a lot of thrusters and RCS. There are locations set to add up to 5 additional turrets under the canopie in marked areas, however the current game does not allow for more. The vehicle has a lot of redundancy with critical parts being dispersed though out. More information about this in the note below.

It also features plenty of storage, o2, 4 constructors, 4 player seats, 4 oxygen dispensers, and 4 armor racks.

Features summary:

1. Unlocks at player level 20 2. Has the maximum amount of weapons allowed in game 3. All survival comforts 4. Oxygen and o2 dispensors 5. Hard to hit chassis with critical components both redundant and under a shell. 6. Left and right side entry 7. Built entirely with hardened steel. 8. Decent speed vs size

I hope you enjoy!

Update 1.1 Changes: _________________________________________________________________________

1. Added a bit more block protection around rear thrusters 2. 3 more RCS. 3. Automatic door sensors now turn on light, open door, and lower ramp. Closes automatically once in vehicle. 4. Interior light sensor 5. Added/changed exterior lights and added control switch for it. 6. Experimental thruster covers adding some protection to most ship thrusters. A switch was added to turn on/off 7. Spent more time with textures and cleaned up some minor issues.

The last two screen shots show the new switches and thruster covers. _________________________________________________________________________

Note: I spoke of redundancy with critcal parts. To add to that, some of the redundancy (but not all) is in the "feet". Each foot is like a small HV in itself containing a generator, some RCS, fuel tanks, and two large hover thrusters. The idea behind that besides just using available space was in theory have it perform as expected if a foot is blown off or damaged. Later however I did add more hover thrusters to the main body as well. The main body also has more fuel, RCS, generators, etc, and not all in one place. I tried to make this hard to stop even if it took extensive damage providing the cockpit and core were intact. I am curious how it performs if heavily damaged thou. One last thing, I planned this out to use 2 artillery turrets originally not realizing that only one can be placed. Where the radar is currently was designed to hold another artillery turret. (5x5)
