@denbor3 Yeah at this point I expect someone to have made a large HV. For it's time, though, this thing was ridiculous :)

Well without knowing its exact size specs I think the AEGIS Homewrecker hover is potentialy bigger than this thing.

Coulda just been a glitch or something. Glad to hear its working! :D

Hm just gave it a shot on a creative game, seemed to work alright... I hit the Update button the the BP just in case something was missing. Give it another shot and let me know if it works now.
Also what version are you running? Maybe I'm a version behind somehow (Alpha 5.3.2 0864)

cool

Interesting, I guess one of the new patches changed up the engines... let me see if I can get an updated version up soon!

Hey,i have spawned this 3 times now and it appears to not have a single hover engine.Won't move at all.I god moded thru it and don't see any hover engines

Cheers! :D

And yeah, given it's all hardened steel, it is kind of fortess like, but it's very much mining focused as any combat focused build I do would have double layer hulls + a bit smaller. Just wish we weren't so limited in turret numbers so I could get better coverage. But the current outlay should eat drones for breakfast.

Wow, that thing looks like a Mobile Fortress! Awesome! :D

I haven't done much improvement on the Mammoth since posting it... just updated for 4.0.0 so it could get over some smaller mountains and such. :P But hey, it's awesome to see more gargantuan HVs out there regardless! :D

Here's the Mammut I mentioned: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=809970166

Basically got some detailing, textures and painting left to do, but I think it's well over half the size of your mighty Mammoth and definitely taller. And handles terrain better :P

Though yours doesn't have mine's centre of balance issues...

Attention:

Updated the Mammoth for 4.0.0, and it now includes additional RCS as well as the T2 Hover Engines and a slight increase to forward thrust, all of which now allows it to climb hills and potentially smaller mountains.

I have also posted a server-friendly version of the Mammoth here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=784406217

Makes me think of the Sand Steamer in the Trigun anime
Slam Jones  [author] Oct 13, 2016 @ 5:31pm 
Ah, good to know. Yeah, dealing with this one on water would be much easier, so I understand that.

Also, the new hover engines coming in 4.0.0 should make these massive HVs MUCH easier to deal with :)
The_Mess Oct 13, 2016 @ 7:19am 
There are larger ones, but they're only meant to ever be deployed in water, not on the land like this crazy, awesome design. And not even the Mammut design floating in my head would be close to this things size. Though that's mainly because I want it to be able to sort of handle terrain :P
Slam Jones  [author] Oct 12, 2016 @ 10:23pm 
Very high praise, thank you :)

I was amazed at how well it worked with the 4.0.0 engines... can't wait for them to push that to Public so this thing can truly dominate some Aliens :P

Slam, you are an epic hovercraft genius.

*bows*

This is THE Ultimate Hovercraft.

And with 4.0, and the accessability of mountainous terrain... oh my. :)
