A question of asthetics
« on: September 25, 2017, 03:48:48 AM »
Lets say that hypothetically perhaps in the future the Horses keep working at the Quadvee design and pump out an assault keeping in the lower, sleeker design of the Nontos



So returning to a two cockpit design for a much sleeker look rather than the towering, almost clumsy look of something like the Harpagos.




I was thinking that keeping in this, you'd have something kind of resembling the Lich Drone assault - http://cfw.sarna.net/wiki/images/3/3d/UABM-2R_Lich.jpg?timestamp=20160105154133

What do you think a Quadvee assault would look like?

I'd say the Notos is already pretty sleek for a QuadVee

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

One possible idea I had, a body kind of like the Notos's body but using the tracked legs of the Hapagos, but instead of being out to the front and back directly they are, in tank mode, slightly splayed out to the sides, so it does not raise the center of gravity too much

so instead of

 II
 D
 II

more like

 I  I
  D
 I  I

and when it converts it walks with a splayed gait like the Scorpion.



This would again stop it suffering the Harpagos effect of being WAY too tall and help give it a more menacing look.

This has actually got me intrigued about QuadVees although given Nova Cats' hatred of LAMs and the stratification of their phenotypes do you guys ever think a Clan would embrace such a concept?

Maybe, but I think it would take the Horses and their love of all things vehicle shaped for it to take form as we have it.
