Hey guys, I just read Mil-Spec Tech and had a question about LAVs and T-Birds. I've seen references to these types of vehicles throughout 4th edition, but nowhere have I seen a good description of them in general. What are their general capabilities as LAVs? Can they hover in place, break the sound barrier? Do they have jet engines or some anti-grav device? Mil-Spec tech seems to have hover tanks, is that what I should be describing to my characters?
Do any of the older source books describe t-birds in full? And I guess my last question is, how common are LAVs? Are they reserved for corporate/gov. transports and warfare, or do small companies and individuals have them? Thanks for the info. |
