Boredom Result - Planetary Heavy Lifter

As presented by Galactic TV the latest product from Opi Industries!

Are you tired of transporting heavy cargo to the surface of a planet? Is dropping it from orbit damaging the item in question or the ground? Then you need the Planetary Heavy Lifter! This specially designed cargo carrier is outfitted with 4 Dyno-Thrust MAX© rotating engines for that tricky vertical travel and of course who could forget it's full scale Thunder Clap© engine for all the speed you'll ever need? Not to mention with its Dual Chin gun weapon mounts it can fight off even the toughest of enemies in transit.
With all of this power transporting cargo has never been so easy! You can now easily transport cargo such as:

• Large Vehicles
• Large Drones
• Troop Containers
• Micro-Factories©
• Micro-Labs©
• And Much More!

But of course you may need more air support than what those dual chin guns can offer so we designed a special container just for this ship! This container comes loaded with a plethora of hard points for any weapon you can think of effectively turning the PHL into a gunship of DOOM!
Act now and we'll throw in the Intelli-Core© AI for auto-pilot of this ship so it can transport while you destroy your enemy!

I like the sound of this. And another idea: As a makeshift weapon, you can call it in drop empty containers on some enemies.

 

another great idea i do love the idea of being able to drop larger vehicles and stuff from your base and the turret box would be great but im guessing itd be lightly armoured so is more of an emergency fire support as otherwise it might get shot down rather quickly

 

Why thanks for the support and ideas =P

 

sounds useful

 

Very innovative. I like it.

 

That would be awesome!
Reminds of something from Tron, though.

 

AWESOME IDEA! Just imagine in multiplayer that one player piloting it, and another is in combat mech in container, and You are attacking some planet invaded by aliens, just imagine!

 

Thanks for all the positive support =D

I can and do imagine that =P

 

I love that, reminds me of the Skyhook Helicopter.

 

I like it!
What else you got to show us?
I loves me some pixel art

 

I love the concept of being on a dropship and getting deployed on the battlefield.
Specially if you're over with friends on Multiplayer. I like the idea!

But would they be player controlled only or you had something in mind like you can also order the AI to do the drop for you?

 

that could be harder, but not impossible, when we have lifter devs will write scripts to fpc for sure!

 

Quite

 

i am want in game automatic mining base, we built it on planet, and every hour have profit

 

I feel i'm being rather unimaginative with this but whatevs .


What about a container for storage purposes? One of the most annoying things for me in a game is not having enough space to pick up all that cool stuff you find.
The ability to place a container down, store it full of your random junk, and so that its easily picked up again for when you what to leave, would make me happy.
Kind of an obvious one , I know. But I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.

 

I remember there was that kind of ship in Supreme Commander and Total Annihilation.
Really great idea for transporting minerals from other planets to your homeworld.

 

There's another drop type =P

I figured that was obvious and didn't mention it =P

Having played TA lately I believe the ARM one was called the ATLAS, I don't remember what the CORE one was called. (speaking of which CORE prime type of world would be awesome.)

 

I know it's quite possible.
I've imagined something like Cortex Command when relating to deplying stuff with the AI

 

Deploying stuff in Cortex Command VIA AI can save a lot of trouble but I like using the rockets as make shift weapons =P
