Just some brainstorming Ideas:
GUNSHIP: A VTOL aircraft that has two seats, pilot and gunner. The pilot has control of just a single weapon that shoots straight forward only, and the gunner gets control of a turret, not a full sized tank turret, and not a small turret, a new medium turret. Should have a somewhat less tank than the Dropship, but be faster and more maneuverable.
SCOUT AIRCRAFT: Like the gunship, but single seater, single forward looking weapon, at least three sensor slots (see sensors/EWAR thread Here )
Also see scout VTOL thread here
COMMAND VEHICLE: Should hold two people, driver and one passenger (squad leader ideally) should have no weapons, but should be able to fit lots of sensors and Electonic protection systems, again see EWAR thread. Should be slower than an LAV, but faster than an HAV. Could provide bonuses to suits in the vicinity. Should have lots of tank-ability
COMMAND AIRCRAFT: Same, but a dropship variant, less tankiness.
APC (Armored Personnel Transport): Tracked vehicle with one driver, one turret and six passengers. Should be faster than an HAV, slower than a LAV. Should be good for assaulting objectives. Should get a bonus to CRU clone activation time so that at max level it is on par with an installation CRU. (my understanding is that installations pump out clones faster than vehicle mounted ones, but I could be wrong)
GROUND EFFECT VEHICLE (GEV): Like a light tank but that hovers just above the ground. Should use a medium turret (again, that would need to be added as well), and should be able to cross water or land. Controls would be like a hover craft, so slow to accelerate, really fast over open ground, hard to control in tight spaces without going slow. Explosions near it should push it around.
MTACS (Mechanized Torso Actuated Chassis): Like a bigger armored man, able to walk and some should be able to do limited jumps. Should have multiple types of these,
Scout MTAC: Like a scout suit, but more tank and slower. Several sensor slots.
Assualt MTAC: Like a heavy drop suit, but slower and beefier tank. Able to carry heavy weapons.
Heavy MTAC: Like a really big heavy drop suit. Able to carry small turret sized weapons, with a heavy weapon as a "side arm" maybe. Very slow.
Logsistics MTAC: Like the assault, but able to carry a single vehicle sized logistics modules, and other cool logistics functions.
MECHS: Like HAV's that walk. Not 50 foot tall death machines, just HAVs that walk. |
