Hello kindred Empyrion spirits!

[i]Let me start with a request; please respect blueprint authors. Often it takes months to finesse a build, and to have it ripped and reuploaded without permission or even so much as credit, can be discouraging, often pushing such authors away from the community.

I personally don't mind critical feedback, and constructive criticism, as it will serve me to better my builds. However, If you enjoy my content, and there is much more to come, respect my (and others) authorship of these massive timesinks. Thank You.[/i]

The Bushranger HV

As a starter HV comes standard with 2 gatling guns for defense or limited offense. The ideal role being as a grab and go early start HV, serving in a multi-function capacity before moving on to heaving builds. Can make a great backup vehicle in case of emergencies, and captains will find the small frame won't take up critical space in CV's.

Armament

While only coming with 2 gatling guns, the Bushranger can later mount a number of additional weapons, including 2 turrets for drone defense, or light offense.

Armor

Most of the hull is cargo, with some carbon trim. The blocks forward of the driver are steel, as well as the "tailgate" providing a layer of steel from rear shots.

Thrusters

The Bushranger comes standard with medium thrusters, though these won't be sufficient to move the HV at full speed once fully loaded with cargo. It's recommended upon level 7 to upgrade these to advanced/T2 thrusters.

Features and Devices

Comes with Wifi, detector, fridge, oxygen dispenser, as well as an armor locker. Features 2 hover boosters, as well as seating for 2 additional passengers. A constructor among several other devices can be added in to extend utility and/or combat capability.

Storage

The Bushranger comes stock with 1200 ammo, and 3600 Harvest, with the harvest expandable by removing passenger seats, and/or the ammo expandable by adding on to the cargo trunk.

Lore and History

Originally Phoenix Starworks was tapped to provide a swift and cheap reconnaissance vehicle for cash strapped militaries and security firms. The Bushranger excelled in that capacity, with outer sector police forces using them in great success thwarting bandits and raiders. However, it's greatest appraisal would come from colonists and frontiersmen looking to beef up their own homestead protection from hostile wildlife, and gangs of criminals with ill intent towards otherwise unprotected colonists.
