Typical Tuesday Suggestions - 26/01/2021

Name of the vehicle: Bicycle What purpose could it serve?: It's a bike, mostly for transport for 1 person at an improved rate and a small addition of cargo capacity. The main advantage is the lack of a fuel cost and a relatively low barrier to entry. Mostly would be useful for short caravans and trips across the colony map, as it's speed should be inferior to most if not all vehicles. How many people can fit in it?: 1 What is it's tech level?: Industrial(Early industrial) Is there any links to images that you can give me to help me make it?: I mean, it's a bicycle, but I will provide some images of early Bicycles to give a general idea for Early Industrial bikes. It's hard to find useful angles for reference though. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/be/74/4b/be744b34e92543961c0368af40f56b36.jpg https://d3h6k4kfl8m9p0.cloudfront.net/stories/wJ.6t8KQ87pcqp4VNbL1Ww.jpg https://thecabe.com/forum/attachments/img_0479-jpg.655582/ https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTbs7a5ywRQEw6v6klpzIYabk07MyfqG27zgw&usqp=CAU https://oldbike.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/1940s_ladies_sunbeam_02.jpg

Name of the vehicle: All Terrain Vehicle What purpose could it serve?: Transport for long distances on land through all terrain and all weather conditions. Large Cargo Capacity to boot. Expensive to build and maintain. How many people can fit in it?: 5 What is it's tech level?: Industrial Is there any links to images that you can give me to help me make it?: Based on the Russian made Vityaz https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/DT-30P1_Vityaz_1.jpg/450px-DT-30P1_Vityaz_1.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/02/97/d5/0297d54baa7f63c4f368c2e7431e0c85.jpg https://www.military-today.com/trucks/dt10p_vityaz.jpg https://i0.wp.com/militaryleak.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/military-field-kitchens-tested-by-russian-northern-fleet-1.jpg?ssl=1

Name of the vehicle: Armored Personnel Carrier(APC) What purpose could it serve?: The APC acts as a armored transport for pawns and light cargo, with the capability for light infantry and armor support. Armaments available: 1.-Machine-Gun: Default armament, Fastest Firing, Medium Range, Long Bursts. 2.-Autocannon: For higher damage, Armor Penetration and Range. But a slower RoF. 3.-Grenade Launcher: AoE Damage, Slowest Firing, Shortest Range. Chance to Start Fires and bonus damage against structures. Should have less armor and health than the Tank but more than the Humvee. Cargo Cap should be near the Humvee. How many people can fit in it?: 8 People Total. 1 Driver, 1 Gunner, 6 Passengers What is it's tech level?: Industrial Is there any links to images that you can give me to help me make it?: I have a few sources: Finnish Patria AMV: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/JJtjroW13eGQhN0L1Utchg7XglhDSMYwq7Vpt6roTW14MZLwmQ5Ip4rYnznzEK2qycZFaZ5PLVOpWFoYp_3AzlOq6tnBwbf7akQL-fliOqftrVupBp3kVWk6E0TzD2rh7wY7E_FxgFRWWisygefquB6gEWhCb4BRidcceT1A3TZoacU9pCk https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/theregiment/images/9/90/Fbb0f217622c0a98757291e13a120a9c.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190809152316 https://corporalfrisk.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/lippujuhlan_pc3a4ivc3a4n_2017_paraati_093_patria_amv_xa-360_ps_645-250.jpg?w=768 https://corporalfrisk.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/kto_rosomak.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Patria_AMV_Karlovac_2009_8.jpg/1200px-Patria_AMV_Karlovac_2009_8.jpg

Or at least reduces visibility significantly!

Name of the vehicle: Spartan Tank What purpose could it serve?: The vehicle would serve as a spacer upgrade of the Tank/HMMWV, being a capable armored combat vehicle with a small cargo capacity, but with the ability to transport colonists into combat. It comes stock with a normal tank-gun, but could be upgraded with a Coilgun cannon, Charge Auto cannon or Smart Rockets. It has the same armor as the normal tank, but moves at a improved rate. Due to the bonus options for weapons, upgrades, cargo and speed, it should likely use Uranium as fuel. Could be upgraded with it's own Shield Generator. It also serves the purpose as a powerful vehicle for any spacer factions added by mods or DLC(Royalty or any future spacer VE content) Likely should explode in a large radius when destroyed due to the Uranium fuel and advanced techs fragility when compromised. How many people can fit in it?: 8 - Driver, Gunner, Commander, Gunner, 4 Normal Passengers What is it's tech level?: Spacer Is there any links to images that you can give me to help me make it?: Yes! Images are of the Israeli Merkava tank. https://i.redd.it/or17xoc2pl121.jpg https://thaimilitaryandasianregion.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/thumb2-merkava-mk4-modern-israeli-tank-armored-vehicles-israel-desert.png?w=624 And another source, Polish PL-01 stealth tank concept, for possible looks or ref: https://www.military-today.com/tanks/pl_01.jpg https://www.military-today.com/tanks/pl_01_l7.jpg

Name of Vehicle: Speeder bike What purpose could it serve: Off map raids, quickly get your warriors to bandit camps or problem causers. 1 or 2 people, with very little storage capacity. Spacer tech https://img1.cgtrader.com/items/2286425/b68f4e110e/star-wars-set-speeder-bike-with-scout-trooper-3d-model-obj-fbx-c4d.jpg

Name of the vehicle: Spacer tank / Main battle tank What purpose could it serve?: Armored combat. It's more expensive than Phil's tank, and comes equipped with a railgun or ramjet cannon and can be upgraded to have a charge machine gun or missiles attached. It has heavier armor and higher speed at the cost of using uranium fuel. When destroyed, perhaps it blows up in a big explosion. I'd suggest making new shells for it (sabots, made from steel and plasteel or uranium) but dunno 'bout that. Mostly appears with imperial forces, and has its own spacer research. Can be upgraded with a shield generator (maybe requiring Royalty + Royalty patch for this). How many people can fit in it?: 3 - driver, gunner, commander; a loader isn't necessary, this tank has an autoloader What is it's tech level?: Spacer Is there any links to images that you can give me to help me make it?: https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/018/521/065/large/josh-parkes-highresscreenshot00002-2.jpg?1559684769

And maybe another advantage is that it doesn't trigger traps!

On to my suggestion for a vehicle: Name: Excavator Purpose: General purpose mining vehicle for large-scale, industrial mining. Added functionality may include building roads when in a caravan, with road building speed increasing with more construction vehicles, tying in with the vehicular theme of the mod. Capacity: 1 Driver Tech Level: Industrial Reference Images: https://img.forconstructionpros.com/files/base/acbm/fcp/image/2011/03/1cxtracked3_10244147.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1200 https://media.istockphoto.com/vectors/icon-set-construction-machines-vector-id165742164?b=1&k=6&m=165742164&s=170667a&h=JGkrKBt9D76zZe2T6TRLpnT6EXWJeNL3mSiwu6kr60U= > Surprisingly few pictures of tracked backhoe excavators are out there, but I think they have the most recognizable profile. I'd suggest keeping the rear excavator bucket in a slightly-extended-but-high position, to keep it recognizable while also reducing the images width https://res.cloudinary.com/twenty20/private_images/t_watermark-criss-cross-10/v1536838797000/photosp/c022556b-05cf-4f55-9c47-c878f12d8f2b/stock-photo-construction-bucket-digger-tractor-industrial-machinery-bulldozer-excavator-hydraulic-c022556b-05cf-4f55-9c47-c878f12d8f2b.jpg > Not tracked, but this offers a superior view of the vehicle for the purposes of art.

I think we should split vehicles into separate modules for different vehicles, starting with your normal "civil" vehicles (ie. Cars, buses, motor boats, pickup trucks, etc.) and moving on to individual modules (ie. Tanks, APC's, and Jeeps for military, Mangonels, Sailboats, and Battering Rams for medieval, etc.) Thus splitting the workload up and adding a bit more longevity to the project. Knowing how your previous modules have worked, I have little doubt this is already the plan, but just wanted to add my two cents ^_^
