Freeze tank

[Daxton Bane]

I am contemplating submitting a tech entry for a carbonite based support tank. Basically it works like a Flamer tank but instead of a flame thrower, it fires of carbonite rounds.

The use is two fold: Capture of enemy assets and troops while avoiding the damage caused by flames or explosions.

I am considering giving it armor class of 7 with bonuses against flame and heat based weaponry.

I just need a good idea for weight and manufacturer.

Shooting a Carbonite round would be like firing a shell that has no explosion. If you make a Carbonite gas thrower tank, it wouldn't work out too hot I don't think. Because its carbon mixed with gas, compressed and then flash frozen. The flash freeze process would make it impossible to turn into a weapon.

Actually I am taking an existing tech and improving on it. Carbonite has been used as a rifle according to this link http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Carbonite_gun

Furthermore there is a tech reference to a carbonite missile. So I think the tech is there, just the application is necessary.

It's short lived, and technically isn't true carbonite. True carbonite wouldn't thaw like that rifle allows people to do after what I imagine is like thirty seconds or something - it also isn't a liquid. It also seems to have been quite rare and given the 400 year darkness, I wouldn't be surprised if something like that got lost for a bit.

Either way, despite what you're thinking, it likely won't work (and don't bring up that war droid, either. That was from Force Unleashed and those games blew); At least against vehicles. I think you're worrying too much about tech.

hahaha it was worth a shot Ok back to the drawing board.
