DESCRIPTION
The Thrax Secutor-class Assault Walker, a type of light walker, was developed to perform the Tyth's Gauntlet maneuver, even from space. The Olympian Armorsmiths refurbished the original design and gave it a new armament and systems. Equipping it with a retrorocket which could be replaced by a new one after every use, it could be dropped from orbit and not simply shatter upon impact but due to the rocket and extreme improvements on suspension and dampeners, could go right into combat. It was crewed by an organic pilot, a very surprising development as this kind of deployment would suit a droid much more.

Nicely made. But I have to ask why the armament has only a high rating when all weapons have extreme damage which makes this walker much more destructive, than the armament rating tries to suggest?

 

[Aurelian Sigismund]

MANIAC Because they are few in numbers and against actual other armoured vehicles, like which go High in defence in similar dimensions it will be a challenge to go against, especially when shields start getting involved. Soft targets are a crack for this one, but heavily resistible ones not so much.

And honestly I did not know the individual weapons damage is a direct correlation to the vehicle, I thought the overall comparability and what it might go up against in its class count.

If I should increase it to Very High, I will lower Maneuverability by one.

EDIT: It evaded my hands initially and I tried my way around - the weapons are all infantry weapons, not vehicle heavy.

Your weapons are still the same, just in vehile size. So the same weaepon will have different size for a human or for a vehicle or for a ship. I hope it makes it more clear, why I mentioned the higher rating. And you don't need to modify the Maneuverability, your current ratings are -2, thanks to the Very low Cargo Capacity.

 

[Aurelian Sigismund]

MANIAC It does for me. Its an infantry weapon and equally strong as the one carried by a soldier. The size does not change.

But okay, I will increase to very high if that's necessary.

Not for the system, if you're not mention it in the special features or in the S/W lists. And thank you!

Approved.
