Traditional Large Drilling Cruiser

[RRChief]

In some missions, you might have noticed ore or EC seams that cannot be drilled since they are surrounded by water (e.g Search N' Rescue). Well, that will no longer be a problem with the Large Drilling Cruiser. Armed with 2 drill arms, this sleek vehicle powers over the waves, drilling rock faces that could not be drilled previously for the above reason. The resources are then collected by Rapid Riders. The vehicle can also serve as a form of transportation for RRs, they are loaded in the back compartment and then carried over to the other side.

However, the most unique feature is its ability to dive underwater. In dive mode, the drill arms fold down to allow the vehicle to dip into the water. This allows the RRs to conduct underwater exploration, extending their search for more resources or to discover strange hidden caverns.

So, teleport one down and start cruising around with this baby.

It'd be much simpler to view the images were you to place them in spoilers, with the image, not the image link.

it's awesome

Awesome , we can finally recover crystals that rolled off the shore and under water.it needs a defense mechanism to defend against water monsters. Now if i had lightwave i wound mod it into the game.

Kind of hard to protect against water monsters from underwater methinks. I'm thinking electricity pulse.

The design is very cool, but it would never work right for seams. Ore and Crystal seams need an adjacent square of ground or rubble to deposit the materials, so drilling them from shore without clearing the surrounding area would be a waste. I know because I've done this with my laser boats. For any other wall this would work wonderfully.
