Gigantes-MFB

Mobile Fire Base (Class 5 HV, unlock level 20)

Primary roles: POI combat, Mobile Base, salvaging, light mining, storage, coop.

Update 3/21/19 - Removed Mining turrets as it was causing spawning issues and they did not work well.

Update 3/12/19 - Fixed missing 1st person cockpit cockpit that want missing after another patch. Updated screen shot to alpha 9 title graphics.

Update 1/16/19 - Updated secure cockpit to work with alpha 9+ changes. I had to lesson the protections a bit around the area to have space for the player to exit the cockpit. It is still in a safe spot and well protected however.

The Gigantes-MFB is full featured heavy tank/base. It comes with all quality of life features for a HV with the exception of mining drills, but does have 2 mining turrets. It is designed to use little fuel when not moving and function as a single or coop HV base. It also has 2 floors. The bottom more protected area has most all of the important items where upstairs just has a cockpit, passenger seats and an extra area for adding whatever you want. It is also designed to easily fit in a 13x7 hangar door for any base or CV with enough room to support it.

Offense\Defense

The hull is built of combat armor and thick in places also including some lag shot blocks. It has both a 1st cockpit on the front as well as a secure interior cockpit for 3rd person view only. It has the maximum allowed weapons/turrets in standard game rules. It also features part seperation and extra heavy frontal defense. Also all 3 doors have a blast wall behind them to help prevent taking internal damage if the door is destroyed.

Mobile Base

The interior contains plenty of survival needs including 2 large storage arrays, clone chamber, med station, fridges, o2, constructors, harvest and ammo arrays, and armor lockers. It has sensor based door, lights, and ramp + switches for exterior lights and to power down all RCS and thrusters to save on fuel when parked. It also includes 2 multi-turrets (Back) and 2 mining turrets (1 on each side). It also has 3 open areas that you can customize for more storage or anything else. Two are located near the rear door, the other on the second floor in the back.

It has 4 switches on the lower floor. 1. "Mobile base mode" gives you the option to turn off all thursters/RCS's and covers the thrusters. Recommended if parked to save power. 2. "Basic defense mode", this only keeps 6 minigun turrets active for 360 degree basic protection and powers down all of the heavier weapons. This will also save some power when parked. "Crafting mode", this turns on 4 constructors as well as mining and drill turrets. Again it will save power keeping this off when not using these items. It also has a switch for exterior lights.
