Description
Ah, the ubiquitous Imperial Chimera, now available for your galactic survival needs. This mod contains three variants of the standard frame. Trojan Support variant replaces the turret mounted minigun with a multi-turret for battlefield repair or disassembly operations.

Features:

• Spacious room for a driver and four passengers*
• One fixed autocannon (minigun)
• A multi-turret for maintaining other vehicles or recycling ones that have failed their duties
• A fully enclosed and armored interior with all of the amenities**
• A motion detecting rear hatch
• A switch activated top hatch for launching drone missions
• A radar dish for enhanced exploration
• A tow hook for towing damaged tanks out of the heat of battle***

* Spacious is defined by the imperial guardsman handbook, page 327, section 11
** The armor on the Chimera variant is not designed to contain the driver or passengers incase of a crash. Amenities include a constructor, dry and cold storage, a tiny armor locker, and oxygen replenishment.
*** The Trojan Support Vehicle is currently unable to tow anything, please consult the manufacturer for details

Requirements:

Iron: 434
Copper: 300
Silicon: 238
Zascosium: 18
Erestrum: 18
Neodymium: 10
Sathium: 4
Cobalt: 4

Notes:
• This is based off of the Warhammer 40k model by Games Workshop:
• To open the hatch, set the lever below it to the green setting, red to close it (it might need to be toggled the first time after spawn)
• In the Alpha 8, leaving the cockpit no longer returns you to where you entered it so you often get stuck, just aim for one of the passenger seats, enter and leave it, then you should be good.
• Sometimes hover vehicles (in the alpha) get caught on the water and sink a bit, just use your booster and it will set you on top again.****
• I intentionally did not give them much lateral thrust to make them drive more like tanks. Originally I didn't give them any, but it was like driving a car on a sheet of lard with tires made out of Teflon.

**** The Chimera variants are not designed for driving on top of water features as they are tanks...

I made an upgraded, and way prettier Chimera a while back that I need to upload, maybe I can turn it into a trojan as well.

Interesting Point Tyberos, I just popped out my codex and you are very correct that Chimeras are amphibious APCs, however their variants (though the trojan isn't in the standard codex, but things like the hydras and hellhounds) are all referred to as tanks which makes me wonder if they are amphibious.

Chimeras are amphibious APCs not tanks
