Description
This is a retrofit of a medium tank I made a long time ago. The old model isn't up to the current flight model, and has a number of longstanding design issues. But I love this tank, and I still want to use it, so I reworked the model somewhat extensively, enough to where it should be considered a retrofit with new functionality, hence why its not just an update like everything else.

Improvements from the previous design means it has more thrust with less power draw, and also much more dense armor on all sides, especially the front. Turrets were switched from end-game models requiring zacosium to mid-game rocket launchers requiring more basic resources. This of course means its firepower is a bit lower, however it can be built much cheaper.

The interior is mostly unchanged, full compliment of passenger seats, a constructor, a very large ammo controlled container, armory, o2 station, etc. All the basic survival needs.

The main purpose of this tank now is to serve as a mid-game HV assault craft. To that end, while it lacks more advanced weapons and systems, it also does not require end-game resources to build. Sathium, and Neodynium are the highest tier resources you will need. It can also be used to bring down light patrol vessels, such as Rados.

Rocket turrets by default are configured to fire at anything except NPCs and drones. Miniguns fire at NPCs, drones, and predators exclusively.

UPDATE 7-30-22 - Changed rear thrusters to L thrusters. Max forward speed increased a bit.
