No there was a picture of in one of the previous iterations of Shadowrun, but did not have much in the way of stats. WMS |

I'm quite sure it wasn't. It had some "corrupted datafiles", and maybe also some shadowtalk, speculating about its potential armor (short version: massive) and armament (short version: stupendous), but no concrete stats.

A hovertank would be about the fastest way around central TX if you are avoiding the roads. Heck even if you aren't avoiding the roads. Although I would love to see them try and charge you for road use on the toll roads. You don't actually have any axles and most charge by axles.

BTW I went with a Carbine for my characters (they wanted to be militia not Army.( they are Army IRL)) One of them actually chose NOT to learn how to use a weapon at all. (he's a mage tho)
Basically the gun is a .45 version of the TMP with a screw on barrel extension and an extra trigger group available the civvie version is only SA but its a very accurate SA. BTW I think 5p is a bit light for a .45 but the damage rules are caliber independent. |

The CAS military also uses fully submersible nuclear carriers.
Full-sized carriers that also act as submarines. ... I worry about my people at times. -- Wak, riding along the VolSprawl |

One thing is clear. We need more big powerful revolvers.
Also, it should be possible to fan your revolver, a la Raygun's rule. By fanning you have a bit less accuracy but your ROF should go up, and not be trapped in SS land. Because whenever any sort of movie or story is set in the south there are .357 magnums. |

Vector thrust is the same thing as an LCAC, or closer to a Harrier?

I'd like to see someone try to steal THIS ride! |
