A Different Breed (Warhammer 29K)

[Redshirt Army]

I seriously don't have the energy to browse through entirety of the latest thread knife-fight, so if somebody could sum it up why I should vote for one of the almost identical-looking plans over the other, that would be grand.

Click to shrink...

One has 2 Vehicle Weapon mounts standard, the other has 1 Vehicle Weapon Mount standard.

Vehicle weapon mounts can be broken down into two Heavy Weapon mounts for free, so having 2 standard is likely to save 5 total EP (the slot conversion surcharge) across the majority of things we actually deploy the platform for. This was basically just a mistake on my end, as the one who wrote the plan I'm advocating against here.

The net effect of this is that our tanks will cost ~2% more than they need to when they enter production, unless the kink gets worked out here.

As such, the plan I currently advocate for is Plan: Fata Morgana-class Medium Battle Tank Chassis .

 

[See Go Reach]

The "multirole" version is currently 5 votes ahead, after all vote combinations are done (which I missed on my first pass).

If there's anybody who's currently not voting for any Morgana variant, then it's likely you can collectively tip the vote one way or the other. I now find myself in the odd position of advocating against a plan vote that I created.

Looks like we just squeaked in ahead by a single vote*, right before the deadline. I wonder if that will be reflected in-character as a fistfight breaking out amongst the designers or something.

(2 votes, if you count @Profilozof 's just now)

Are you adding the multirole with and without grav shield together to get those numbers? Otherwise seems like a clear lead

Ah, whoops, I was doubling up on some votes by combining votes for both the regular and the gravshield variant in my tallying.

Well, it worked out either way.

... huh.

The "multirole" version is currently 5 votes ahead, after all vote combinations are done (which I missed on my first pass).

If there's anybody who's currently not voting for any Morgana variant, then it's likely you can collectively tip the vote one way or the other. I now find myself in the odd position of advocating against a plan vote that I created.

it happens. the setting and mechanics make plan forming complex and sometimes what your aiming for isn't what you created initially.

great. @Mechanis can we do some diplomacy before design anything else? between 4 days my enthusiasm is a little spent and it's probably better to handle diplomatic stuff during the weekend when more voters have free time given their likely impact on our priorities for the next several turns.

Are you going to color these when we hit 40k? Because they are slowly becoming more detailed.

Coloring in Vectary is... very primitive.
It can't do UVW mapping beyond really crude projections, can't do multi-materials (so if you want things to be different colors, they have to be different objects,) and if you don't use a special, non-standard form of copying things it adds new instances of the material, which baloons memory use like dickens. I may do some basic color blocking to bring out details a little better, sometimes, but full color is not especially likely.
(a lot of this is because they decided to have custom material libraries be part of their Freemium model, which is why each material takes up one of your 25 free project slots. so they're definitely never implementing multi-materials, ha.)

You may distribute 5 points between up to 3 of the options below

How many points of Speed and Maneuvering would be needed to compensate for heavier armor? 1 each per level? More?

[ ] Basic Armor : Medium
Medium armor can be found on the 'average' battle tank, such as the Imperium's Leman Russ tank, providing significant protection against even vehicle-scale weapons and infantry-portable anti-material weapons, as well as functional immunity to nearly all infantry small arms. Light Armor does, however, impact a vehicle's ability to accelerate and maneuver, due to the greater inertia from its mass.
Armor typical of battle tanks. Reduces acceleration & increases turn radius. +5 EP to cost of manufacture.

Hey now, if it's got a gun that can break a Titan's spine, who's going to shit-talk it?

Mounting one of those on a medium chassis looks like interesting times. Would outmass the rest of the vehicle by a factor of what, three? Five?

Given how contentious our vehicle design votes tend to get I'm sure there are entire factions worth of Vulkari artisans and designers who would shit talk it .

Yeah though, light grav-vehicle unmodified is a silly bean, hopefully the modded one is more reasonable.
