ISL - Marten RO-520 Excavator

DISCLAIMER: These ships/rovers are designed for PC, with scripts. they will work without them, but some functionality (eg. advanced wheel control, automated mining and shuttle routes, etc.) and fancy LCD readouts will be missing.

Purpose

A small mining vehicle for excavating tunnels, mining and clearing paths for other vehicles.

Although the Marten has less cargo capacity than the older Ratel, its drills have greater range due to being mounted on hinges, instead of relying on differential suspension height. It also handles better and features a tow hitch, allowing the vehicle much greater versatility.

Features

This vehicle is still considered "printable," as there are only two sub-grids, each consisting of one Drill each. After printing, using a set up such as this one, simply place and weld up both drills as seen in the screenshots, then create or add them to the following groups for the toolbars and scripts to function; "Mrt-R Drills", "Mrt-R Cargo" & "Mrt-R MART".

Tools & Weapons:
2 Hinge Mounted Drills

Power:
1 Large Battery
10 Small Batteries
3 Small Hydrogen Tanks
1 Hydrogen Generator
1 Hydrogen Engine

Movement & Control:
1 Cockpit - has gyroscope control but not drill elevation
1 Remote Control - controls drill elevation but not gyroscope
1 Gyroscope - anti-flip system

If playing without scripts, the drill hinges can be controlled via toolbar 4, buttons 2 and 6. The hinge speed is set to 1rpm by default, use button 6 to reverse the direction of the elevation hinges, and button 2 to lock them in place.
