[AGI] PV-4 (Personal Vehicle)

Description
[No Mods]
[Survival Ready]

Description:
Loved and hated by many colonists around Argonaut Industries governed colonies. PV-4 is the standard issue rover for colonists requiring a personal vehicle. Designed to be extremely cheap and easy to build from blueprint, yet still stylish. Only downsides of PV-4 are it's small cargo capacity and driving stability in high speeds. Argonaut Industries likes to remind that PV-4 is not a racing vehicle, it's a light offroad utility rover.

Well i prefer starter vehicles and small trailers for them

It would be quite easy to add hinge on the back and then it would be compatible with quite some trailers in the workshop I think.

I think a small trailer would be nice for this

@Cavgunner Nice review, couldn't have put it better myself.

The PV-4 is a great starter vehicle. It is so small and simple that even a noob casual can quickly assemble it from random parts. It is quite light as well, so it can easily reach speeds of over 50 m/s.

The PV-4 carries just enough cargo to be useful and the onboard ore detector can help you locate deposits in the early game. It's also quite handy for retrieving cargo drops. Later in the game, the PV-4 remains useful as a people-mover for situations when a flyer would be impractical.

It's very easily to flip the PV-4 by turning too hard at speed. The PV-4 also sags when loaded with cargo, and can bottom out easily. On gently rolling hills just keep your speed to around 40 m/s unloaded, and 30 m/s loaded and you should be fine.

The PV-4 has an onboard repair projector. You'll need it. I should also mention that due to its extremely light weight the PV-4 is not suitable for low-G environments , but it LOVES Mars.

Simple, practical, useful. 9/10 would Dukes of Hazzard again.

@Tom Foolery Indeed, it's a slightly modified version of this. You should also be able to find the ATV-8D, though it's been modified much more than this.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but this rover is one of the ships available for purchase at NPC stations in the public test. I used Midspace's Admin Helper to check, and it's in the list of prefabs.
