How to control a hovercraft?

[dragonsphotoworks]

I got it floating fine now. And for most part if dont move its kinda stable.. But cant strafe right or left and turning is bad to.

Check the control scheme, sometimes it sets strafe and roll to the same controls. As for the turning being bad, try getting a hold of movement thrusters, preferably better futures, and their stability control part. I don't know what the tech you are using at the moment looks like, so I would say if all else fails take Venture small prop and put one on both sides of the tech not front and back, that way when you turn the props should help a bit.

Its just the base of it so far. It will be a mobile manufacturing base. Since will be a major part of my.. fleet/base/future?.. I want to be able to turn to defend it pretty quick. And since need travel all over "world" to reach resources it needs to be agile to reach the mountains and such.

I could always make one huge grounded base and a mobile factory. BUT then I need to find perfect spot.. and still need to travel a lot.

I see now, you have a good idea with the placement. The sheer size of it might be causing some of the issues. However with more hover pads, you could definitely add more agility to that beast. Get your hands on the better future sky anchor and that thing can become a hover base. Though being able to attack and defend on a dime has always been an issue. Your best bet would to make sure both sides are balanced in terms of firepower.

I have three of those anchors :-) Oh so need more hover? I thought needed more thrusters or gyros or some thing. I will give that a shot thank you.

Could be all three...
Some of the hovers help steer, like the large Better Future one. More hovers will make it more stable and responsive too.

Then the BF stabilizing computer helps keep things level, along with the active gyros. Then the passive gyros smooth out the movement.

And can there ever be enough thrusters? :)

If it's going to be anchored most the time you can use the anti-gravity engines to help make it lighter and more manageable too. Just remember they have a small drain on the battery.

Will be anchored to process resources but other wise it be moving fighting and exploring.
