Flamingo Industries™ is proud to present the seventh product in our continuing series of defensive structures and vehicles for the architecturally challenged! We pride ourselves on designing quality, high performance machines that strike the perfect balance between form and function.
Tortoise Excavator | Hover Vehicle
Afraid of predators and drones sneaking up on you during a mining operation? Lay those fears to rest with our new Tortoise Excavator, a hover vehicle to satisfy all of your mining needs. The circular shape of the hull creates the perfect interior environment for warding off wayward predators, while the two Minigun Turrets* mounted on top make short work of any approaching Drones. The entire vehicle can be controlled from within its protective circle of armor, with a small door for entering the cockpit and other various amenities (as outlined below). It may not be the fastest thing around, but it can still hold its own in a battle of speed, with six primary thrusters mounted on the back, one on the front for medium-range stopping, two directional thrusters each on the left and right sides, and a final five of our patented Hover Engines™ on the bottom to create a smooth ride.
*Interchangeable with other turrets of your choice.
Amenities
- Cargo space for storing all of your unprocessed ore (x1 Cargo Boxes).
- Refrigeration for preserving the predator meat your miniguns fill with holes (x2 Fridges).
- Our patented mobile factory, free of charge! (x1 Small Constructor).
- Sufficient power and fuel to keep the lights on (x6 Fuel Tanks | x2 Generators).
- Oxygen to help you catch your breath (x2 Oxygen Tanks | x1 Oxygen Dispenser).
- State-of-the-Art tech to make maneuvering a breeze (x2 RCS Units).

We hope you enjoy our products here at Flamingo Industries™ - Tomorrow's technology, today.
