Seeing some of the maps and stuff people posted here I decided to grab sketchup and play around with some design.

Obviously the tracks are not finished but after a full day of playing with it I decided to go ahead and share.
It is meant to be a drone tank that can be built in any size for various jobs. The tracks run on a drive system that connects through the center of the track making it less vulnerable to damage.
The rear piece holds the primary energy cell which posers the laser based weapon while the drive power cells are housed individually with in the track containers.
I intend on dressing it up with some Amarr colors as well as tweaking the design to give it a more Amarrian look. I am still learning various methods for that kind of stuff before I start on that.
I must say I was a bit surprised at how low the basic learning curve with sketchup was. It may be very basic but is a surprisingly good program.

That rear cell must be really heavy, otherwise one little bump and that barrel would be taking a dirt nap lol.

I tried 2D modelling once.
But I couldn't slim down enough.

Being a power cell that would be very heavy with armor but yes the dimensions may need some adjusting to balance it out for rough terrain.
I also worry about if the barrel length and the rear cell would limit the operable terrain so I am considering a much shorter barrel and shifting the size and shape of the power cell to adjust the center of gravity as well as eliminating some catch points for hill climbs and such.
All in all the process here is incredibly interesting and I would recommend people give it a try.

Make it more round. Give it more of a phallus-like shape. Once you're done, paint it gold, slap on some squigglies, and you got yourself an Amarrian tank!

Some nice concepts, but you will need to figure out how to create something with smooth flowing lines and sharp curved edges if you want it to look Amarrian. Think of a giant golden beetle with treads and a turret.
Actually if you Google Beetle, and then look at the Beetle images you will get all kinds of ideas for Amarrian tanks that look way better than the Amarrian tank concept art from DUST.
