I am assuming planets were terraformed, and       are like wild west, so not big population density, some bigger cities and many       more smaller, a lot of        rural areas, and rough terrain.        > Vehicle is used by "colonial marines" type of forces, and must be space       transportable.        > If you need more data about the setting, just ask :D              With the ability of a hand held missile to take out a tank, i would put those       weapons on drones. Now you have a situation where a vehicle of any size can be       destroyed quite easily, so I would not put all my eggs in one basket, but let       each trooper travel        by motorcycle/ ATV/ jetpowered wingsuit, or a horse, and with him a swarm of       sentry/killer drones that tries to shoot out the enemy drones before they spot       him.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
