UC-5 Autonomous Rearm Vehicle

Description
The reload process seems to be broken. This may be due to one of the game's updates, and fixing it would take a long time. The rest of the drone still works fine.

WARNINGS:
It is important to read these warnings before using the vehicle. Not following these instructions can cause errors, destruction of the vehicle and even nuclear contamination. Warnings marked as critical are the ones, that cause the most damage when not followed (no criticals).
  • If the reloader gets stuck during the reload, it needs to be manually towed. At the moment, there’s no button to disable the autonomy, so if this happens, resolving it can be hard. This will be fixed at some point. [FIXED. NOW THERE'S A BUTTON FOE EMERGENCY STOP, WHICH STOPS THE MOTOR UNTIL TOGGLED OFF.]


Directly compatible systems:
These other units will communicate directly with UC-5. Others may be still needed for proper function.

What is VC-10
Introducing Meteor Combat Systems’ new nuclear powered autonomous strategic missile carrier (BDA-3), and it’s autonomous rearmer (UC-5). The UC-5 can be set at an airfield to stand by, until a BDA-3 lands. When one does, the UC-5 can rearm the aircraft in under two minutes. UC-5 drives fully autonomously, and it doesn’t need/take any user input besides the initial activation.

Rearmer’s features (UC-5):
  • Automatic driving from hangar to runway, and from runway to next to the hangar.
  • Carries four SGUM-7A missiles.
  • Under two minutes fast reload.

DB-9 Control network
DB-9 is a system, which allows multiple users to both control drones, and call in missile strikes. This system at the moment consists of BDA-3 (Autonomous Strategic Missile Platform), VC-10 (Drone Control Terminal), SOT-11 (Strike Calling and Targeting Terminal), UC-5 (Autonomous Rearm Vehicle) and SGUM-7A (GPS Precision Missile).

How to use:
See the attached video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5lQFMRq5Ao

Planned additions (Drone and compatible units):
  • Data encryption. Right now, the radio data can be seen by everyone, who has a control terminal and knows the frequency.

Known issues:
  • The UC-5 can sometimes (rarely) get stuck during reloading. Press the "EMERGENCY STOP" to stop the electric motor.

Please comment about issues or future suggestions!

@oli have you tried turning on the brakes on the drone bc that worked for me

The driving part works fine for me, at least with high physics. Though the reload process looks to be broken at the moment, so it might not work very well.

Maybe try high physics setting? If that doesn't work, then there's something weird going on. I probably could add a keypad for manual speed limit, if this still keeps happening.

It keeps getting damaged for no reason maybe slow it down
