Hi-tech features in a humble truck body. Main feature is AI following system - it can be united in caravans leaded by player's car.

Second main feature has failed - I planned to make it GPS-guided, even wrote an instruction on a text panel inside... But I discovered what autopilot acts differently on a real planet's surface - it tries to take off before flying to point. I checked that on a lite fighter ship and it's cool - it take off vertically, then flying 10-20 m above ground to GPS-point (placed on surface) and land on it. Not so smooth, but really this is cool if autopilot will fly "smartly" on planets. But it tottaly doesn't work to truck - it tries to take off before accelerating and so it just stuck. It supposed to be normal and easy feature for caravan-leader truck to make caravans fully automatic...

So, back to first feature. It disabled by default, use 1 on toolbar to enable it by toggling on main sensor, which will activate system. It will follow only smallships and only friendly or owned (you can change it, of course), so don't forget to set ownership for following truck and leading vehicle! Secondly, it may be essential to reduce wheels friction to 10% or less so it can turn by gyros.

Very fast, especially for truck! It can ride as fast as my buggy :D It was so fast it jumped from hills and break it's wheels, so for video I overloaded it with uranium - added 40 000 kg mass and even overloaded it fast enough :)

To switch to a GPS-guiding was created special system with timers and stuff. But since autopilot is still useless for vehicles - don't touch it. Need to wait when Keens will allow autopilot to drive cars.

Well, LCD screens with info, oxygen, reactor... does it really matter? All you need is on board, lol.

Enjoy! :)
