Advanced Nanite Transport/Main

The Advanced Nanite Transport (ANT) is a ground vehicle available to all factions. It can be spawned from any allied ground vehicle terminal.

ANTs are purpose-built mining transports, able to harvest and house a unique resource; Cortium, a mineral that can be used to construct and power various player-made buildings and modules.

The ANT is a four-man crew vehicle, consisting of a driver, gunner, and two passengers. All crew members are fully protected within the vehicle, regardless of which seat they occupy.

The driver seat has access to one of two mining lasers, able to harvest Cortium, as well as unload stored Cortium into Silos. The gunner seat comes equipped with its own mining laser to speed up harvesting, but can also be outfitted with standard Nanite Systems vehicle weaponry, such as the M20 Basilisk.

The ANT stores 8000 by  default, which can be increased to up to a maximum of 10000 through the Cortium Storage certification line.

As mentioned above, it is possible to use the ANT's cortium supply to construct buildings:

First, deploy the ANT using the Deploy hotkey. Make sure it is outside of any no-construction zones (red circles on the minimap).

A construction terminal will then spawn on the vehicle's rear-end. Interact with it by pressing the Interact hotkey, and simply select the desired construction from the list of available construction objects.
