Gram
« on: June 17, 2012, 02:31:16 PM »
Here is a little something I made with pen and paper.
This means I can be wrong.

The idea was to make a Rasalhaguan design that was produced in the time of the invasion and that could have been used a bit later on by refugees units fighting back with a little help from the Lyran Commonwealth.

I named it the Gram after Sigurd's sword, which killed the dragon Fafnir.

It was inspired by this French Armoured Fighting Vehicle, the AMX-10-RC

Could you check it and tell me what you think of it?

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.

Not really one of the most complex in the world.

Let's back on topic.

What do others think of my idea? Both fluff idea and statistics.

It's a solid fluff idea, and fits in a nice niche in the timeline. I haven't taken the time to plug it into something yet, but on an eyeballing, the stats look good for what it is meant to be.

I just modified some little things (the Heat of the Rifle and the Engine size were wrong).

I like the fluff idea too, sounds like something the Rasalhague people may throw together with what limited resources they have

I was thinking the Mjollnir would be the "regular" assault unit and the Gram something made up after or just prior to the invasion.

I wonder if they could work well together...
