New Vehicle

[thesmiths4]

I'd add a four passenger, six wheel cargo truck, maybe lightly armored, and capable of mounting a lighter weapon in a top mounted turret, probably around TL8. (Sort of like the flatbed Humvee...)
Edit: here's a pic!

But with a longer bed and double back wheels.

Sort of like this?

Bazinga! A sort of cargo hauler, sort of military-ish truck! Stat that puppy and I'll buy one!

Once I figure out how to stat it up. :mrgreen:

Lots and lots of new vehicles will be in the Vehicle Handbook!

As well as vehicle design rules?

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.

God Love Ya. That is good to hear. :mrgreen:

 

[thesmiths4]

Not trying to be a troll here, but my original concept was that there should be a cargo vehicle in the mix in the primary book's vehicle list.

Oh, yes.

So are we totally redesigning Vehicles Design again?

We'll put one in the Vehicle Handbook but while it would be nice, I don't think it is necessary for the Core.

So are we totally redesigning Vehicles Design again?

Totally, no. We are going to start with the last edition as a baseline. However, there are a few things I want to remove, simplify and add, and the actual numbers/figures need adjusting too.

So, same but different

Good, except for some rocky bits the last vehicles system was good simple and useable. All I kinda wish for is a rough idea how to convert the Hull and Structure to get the New Hull Number....

There is one, it's called the Air/Raft....

Yes, with Cargo=0, Air/Rafts are certainly cargo vehicles on the level of a hot wheels car.

 

[MongooseMatt]

Good point, well made. Putting a cargo option in.

I am not at home at the moment, but wasn't there a four seat and two seat with cargo space versions of the Air/Raft in the past? Sort of a car/pick up style versions?

Going back to CT, the Air/Raft could carry 4 people AND had 4 tons of cargo.

All in a 4-ton package. Once again proving that hulls have no size...

Ack! I forgot that the Air/Raft has lost its 4 ton cargo capacity again..... You would figure a vehicle that is the size of a Duce-an-a-Half would have Cargo Capacity....

4 Metric Tons not displacement tons.....

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

No, in CT there was no reference to metric tons. EVERYTHING was Dtons. So an Air/Raft took up 4 Dtons, carried 4 people and also could haul 4 Dtons of cargo.
