Can we get a better hover?

[thegrandseraph]

Worked my butt off getting to the point that I could build a flying base, thinking that the hover was going to be more like a stable lift system. Nope. Its more like a real world hover craft. Honestly I can't imagine a use for it, unless you like drifting all over the map as you move around. Can we get a version of the hover that acts more like the build beam?

Adding a Better Future stabilization computer can help with the drifting issues, as well as some sideways steering hovers. Adding rudders onto the back can help with negating drift when moving, while the BF stabilization computer will use the steering hovers to help stabilize the tech when stationary.

Is BF in the main game yet? I thought it was just in the creative mode.

Unstable branch has it in campaign. License mission unlocks with GSO grade 4. Works with old saves too.

Also if you want stable lift, why not try to stack some Hawkeye helicopter blades along with the stabilising computer? I'm curious if this would work, gonna try it myself later #GiantDrone

once the better future is fully implemented, they have the stablizing computer (to prevent random drift) as well as the anchors (so you can recharge in the air lol)

better future also has the control block for hover. so you can adjust the hover power as much as you want and create the verticl movement you want (maybe)

there are several steering / handeling improvement parts now available as well as giros which are making things alot easier.

but ya... they made the hover too realistic to begin with. almost completely unusable for anything but lightening your load on the wheels , but that was nice too :D

Also the BF hover control allows DOUBLE the hover height.
So, with the floating fortress blocks, you can float so high, you are out of range of most weapons.
