STRENGTHS

• Droid Brain Backup: If the Flint is badly damaged and the crew must escape, or if a crew member is killed in action, the emergency droid brain can take over from the people inside. This can temporarily keep the tank in action, or cover the crew as they escape.
• Ion/EMP Resistance: The copper electronic shielding allows this vehicle to take hits from EMP and ion weapons without much damage.
• Brawler: The use of a plasma weapon with anti-laser aerosol lets the Flint avoid damage, and hit back

WEAKNESSES

• Droid Brain: The emergency droid brain isn’t very smart, and is only a stopgap measure. If the droid brain is tampered with, it will undoubtedly cause major problems for the crew and those around it.
• Almost No Carrying Capacity: The Flint can carry no passengers and only meager personal kit in its internal and external storage compartments.
• Wheels: The Flint has problems with very rough terrain, and will struggle to cross large gaps like trenches or other defensive earthworks.

DESCRIPTION

The Flint is the favoured tank of Nothmiro armoured forces, providing a mix of protection, speed, and firepower; while also keeping its crew safe. The Flint synergises its anti-laser aerosol with its main plasma cannon, allowing it to fire through the aerosol without taking much damage from its enemies. The storage and passenger capacity of the tank is lacking or nonexistent as the Flint is a specialized MBT, not some grotesquely up-gunned transport masquerading as some sort of tank.
