Description
08-91 "Dromedary" M.R.A.F. (Mobile, Refinery, Artillery, Fabrication)

(Remember to make sure all blocks are assigned to you after spawning the Dromedary in creative, or the missiles may not print properly.)

The Dromedary can print and deploy swarms of 18 Hydrogen propelled AI rockets. (Rocket design heavily based on the design by Major Jon. Credit to them for the rocket and printer design). In any BLUE cockpit/control station, the 2nd page of hotkeys allows for printing of rocket volleys at 3 different fueling levels. This is to reduce the fueling time (and thus increase fire rate) as accurately as possible. The Dromedary has 4 small hydrogen tanks, but that should be plenty to fuel dozens of rockets. The 3 fueling distances are 800m, 1400m, and 2500m.

The Dromedary also has several features to help you survive in the harsher climates. Chiefly, complete facilities for production and refining, as well as docking connectors for miners and snub-fighters. Also, a periscope for surveying over dunes and hills which can be controlled from any of the RED gunnery cockpit/control stations. Do what you wish with the merge blocks on either side...

Internals:

10 Batteries

*I don't generally make updates to existing vehicles public to avoid clogging my workshop, but this update had enough major changes I felt it was worthwhile.

I've been wanting to revisit this concept recently. Not with the same chassis though, I spent like 3-4 months just changing things rather than improving them. I'd like a fresh start on this idea, and I think it will end up much improved.

I would love to see a Civilian version ... one that was maybe abandoned by a Military power and and then found salvaged and refit by miners. Replacing the missiles with maybe something like drill drones or so

Thank you! I've built it a couple times using a welding ship. I recommend starting with the wheels and all the armor surrounding them as that portion of the design is mostly solid.

Outstanding job, Can't wait to try and build it in survival.
