Intent: To provide another front line tank for the Mandalorians
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: MandalMotors
Model: MT-31 “Lancer”
Affiliation: Mandalorians
Modularity: N/A
Production: Mass
Material: Durasteel, Tungsten/Pyronium Alloy
Description: A smaller sized vehicle, the Lancer is a frontline tank with a powerful swiveling Composite-Beam cannon to combat enemy armor. Made for sustained fire and more of a defensive vehicle than offensive. The Composite-Beam must be held on target much like the cannons from the Attack of the Clones movie during the Battle of Geonosis. The Repulsor lifts allow it to cross a multitude of terrains, giving it versatility in combat. The Heavy Repeater in the front of the tank is for infantry units and light vehicles.The Tungsten/Pyronium Alloy gives the hull added strenght and resistance to small arms fire and limited protection to heavier attacks like other tanks. The alloy in the armor withstands the heat and energy damage from energy weapons and electrical attacks, from internal Matrices in the Pyronium absorbing the electromagnetic energy created when electrical and energy weapons strike the hull of the tank, but only for a little while. Sustained attacks can overcome the tungsten in the armor, weakening the armor and taking physical damage to the tank itself. A light crew allows the tanks to be enforce in large numbers, by not taking away too many crewman from the rest of the Mandalorian Forces. Color scheme may be changed, based on necessity, but standard finish is tan, with the Mythosaur painted on the tail and Cannon Arm.

Mkay, just a few things.

First off, Mythosaur Customs and Arms, from the company submission I've found, does not manufacture vehicles, only weapons, armor, and custom variants of the two. I see you're a subsidiary of MandalMotors, so I'm going to ask that the manufacturer be changed to MandalMotors as that company manufactures vehicles and can mass produce something like this.

Second off, the composite beam in the turret is fine, though here's the thing. Composite beams only maximize damage by prolonged exposure. The beam lasts a second or two and operates kind of like a hose. For maximum damage, you have to keep the hose on target. It's not like a blaster canon that you can fire, forget, readjust, and fire again. I'm not asking you to edit the weapon, but to be aware of that drawback and to please include it into the submission.

Finally, what positions do the crew members listed fulfill? Could you list that, please?

@ me when finished and we'll go from there.
