  • After reaching within 5km of first sample collection point, craft will switch to quadcopter mode for fine control
  • After reaching within 100m of first sample collection point, game will pause and request user to manually select the next sample collection point, or unpause to land the craft for recovery
  • The craft will gain altitude before switching back to jet mode for sample collection points that are >5km away
  • Typical recovery amounts after contract completion are $150-250k

    @CGC yeah I tried everything I could to stick with jet only but some of the sample collection points required more mobility. I thought about a detachable quad but then some of the sample collection points are super far from each other. Only the plus side, I have yet to find a contract that this one won't complete automatically. Let me know if you have any issues!

    Nice hybrid craft, definitely getting more complex as missions progress.
