Description
His name is Micro.

A fun, well-armed, zippy little starter HV! Granted level 7 is a tad more than a pure starter HV, but I have never had trouble reaching level 7 even on the harder difficulty settings, so I am going out on a limb with this description.

This ship can actually glide long distances if you start off a ridge or mountain top. It is great fun. :)

This ship is geared towards survival, not pvp.

Enjoy!

This is probably the best starter, no frills hovercraft. It's fast and packs a punch. I've been using this thing since 0.6, and it's fantastic. For scouting and even POI smashing. It's cheap, to boot. I typically upgrade the armor, engines, and cockpit and use it throughout the game. Four minigun turrets and can dodge most anything a POI will toss at you.

Nifty little starter tank, but seems to have limited options to upgrade short of major chassis rework (sadly). Excellent for hunting, or to just cover you in mildly hostile conditions.

Hey there. If anyone is wondering why you need cobalt for such a simple -yet awesome- ride: it's the constructor on the top, which is actually the sv-version as of Alpha 8.6. Just go in creative mode and replace it with the hv-version and you have the vessel like I assume it was meant to be; ready to start exploring the starter planet. Hope that helps anybody. Took me some time to find out...

Thank you all! And thank you for putting up with me not responding! I am a bit scattered as of late making POI's for the game and such. Apologies!

This still works great in the early game as of 7.0. :)

Simply outstanding. My go-to early game HV everytime.

Later on, I have gotten in the habit of adding onto it a bit (3 drills, a drill turret, harvest box), but it is a marvellous design as it stands. Well done!

You did a great job on this. It is cheap to make, good on fuel, light, and fast - Yet it has everything needed for long excursions. And it looks cool. The only thing I've ever added is a docking pad, so it may go on further adventures.
I normally blast the turrets off some POIs with a SV, then come back with the Micro, and it watches my back. Thank you so much for sharing this gem!

Thank you Cybrviper and Panda! I am impressed you added a artillery turret. Micro is so tiny! :)
