What is it with the hover facility ?
Don't really want to have to produce 2 types of former when one can hover over sea or land. So I create the hover former. And does it work ? No it refuses to leave dry land !
Hey maybe I ought to tell all those firms running hover crossing trips over the English Channel that they can't do it, so they must stop at once

Yepp, the hovertank chasis is completely land based - I use Gravship formers instead. Problem with these - you can't raise/lower water squares, only ships can do that. Otherwise, Gravship formers are about as good as it gets - add fungicidal tanks & superformer & you get the most potent fungus-buster / land-raiser around. Very handy towards the endgame...
So long, CC
