Baserunner (v2.0) - with authentic Suspension!

A super heavy mobile base on wheels with custom build suspension. Made for heavy terrain and medium speeds (with the mod that's high speeds). Survival ready

Control works via the 'A' and 'D' keys for steering and 4 keys on the hotbar (seperate controls for left/right wheels to increase/decrease speed; self explaining). For sharper turns, use different speeds on left and right wheels.

Speed limit in heavy terrain: 15rpm = 35km/h Speed limit in flat areas: 21rpm = 50km/h

Going faster is possible in super flat areas or on streets, but un-modded basic wheels are super fragile. That massive suspension you see is mostly there to protect the wheels, not the vehicle. It's like driving on raw eggs :P

That's why I created this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=633061554 This mod increases the crash resistance of all non-steerable wheels and turns this try-hard concept for using basic wheels into a very capable all terrain vehicle.

If a wheel should break: stop the vehicle, reverse the 'Suspension rotors' and use the 4 pistons to get ground clearance while rebuilding the missing wheel.

Have fun!

This is a replica of the Baserunner from Homeworld Deserts of Kharak. It's chassis is based on a workshop upload by Skeleton (he's way better at guestimating proportions than I will ever be). I posted this with his approval.

How to copy it into your game: -enable creative with copy paste enabled -hit F10 and copy it into your world

or just use this and give it a ride where I did my testing (and recorded the video): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=621733778

-> Special thanks goes to Brickster22 for finding an error I made with the length of a suspension arm! I still can't believe I didn't notice that for like 50 hours of intense testing... Anyway, from what I've seen, fixing this issue boosted the performance of the vehicle quite a bit. So he rly deserves a place here

____________________________________________________________ Version 2.0 includes some overal improvements including 2 very compact lifts in the mid-section of the vehicle. It also features a minimalistic recon drone on the landing pad which shares some looks with the original from Homeworld DoK. I scaled it down for better efficiency. It flies like a helicopter, don't turn it upside down :P
