Linebacker Mobile Respawn Vehicle (2): Frostgiant, Madman

[frostgiant]

Basketcase Revamp program

The hardcase, Is very much a failure in almost every vector one can imagine except for a singular fact. It is a Product that has entered production. This is more then can be said for many... Many iterations of VS products. AS such many on the investors board see potential provided the many many many kinks are ironed outwith an exacting eye.

The list of issues with the Hardcase, When broken down into an itemized list consisting of not just the whole of the armour but every piece of it, Strech farther the most of the design division is tall. AS is, needs must and the Priority for Fixing the armour comes down to the Poor strength of the Plating, combined with the frankly stiffling nature of its layout.

One could say that the majority of the product is a liability, Better served when stripped away to its barest parts.

So that's what we did.
Shrinking the full-body suit down to a much more lightweight and compact chest piece combined with the helmet, We have been able to keep most of if not all of the soldier mobility, especially after some modification to the undersuit to unstiffen it and provide more flexibility. Combined with a series of operator run bug fixes in order to fix the helmet's VR display and the addition of a colour pallet to better Display surfaces or differing material.

The hope of the design team to transform the Restricted body cast into a protector of the most vital organs, Maintaining them in a un-vaprorised manner long enough for a VS certaified medic to come and get them on their feet again.

Linebacker Mobile Respawn Vehicle (3): Frostgiant, Madman, Happerry

[Light forger]

Alright I will divide my complains with the linebacker into two section my issues with the design as written and the design as an idea.

For the design as written the first issue is I feel the layout doesn't really make sense. My understanding is the Linebacker has a layout of cabin-troop bay-res chamber. I think changing that to cabin- res chamber- troop bay is a no brainer as it lets you use proper rear and or side mounted doors rather/in addition to roof hatches. The other note is the spotlight I think it could be a half-way decent idea to swap that for a spectre. While this would reduce anti-vehicle fire power of the Linebacker but, it already has a missile pod. In change this gives the APC slightly better anti-infantry firepower and the ability to mark "cold" targets(like buildings) and use it's missile on them. With that being said I doubt the turret gun is a major difference either way.

For the idea, coming from some who is somewhat...quite...very daft the idea that a ground bound APC is going to get good coverage in the jungle is extremely daft. The two other spawners can either be carried in on foot(As their bike can't handle the jungle) or flow in to clearings. To get good coverage any spawner we make would need to be able to do something similar. The worst case for the APC is that's it does very little as we can bring it anywhere near the battle. The likely case is it will only really work in a defensive stance as we will need to slowly smash, cut and burn a road for it travel into order to be near the fighting. This both makes it very easy to find and destroy(just follow the road) and means it's use during offensives will be heavily limited. The jungle is an infantry focused zone we aren't just going to be able to brute force our large(horizontally at least) vehicles to work well in it.

[Madman198237]

The Linebacker does not carry troops. I'm completely confused as to why you think it does, since the only mention of anything other than crewmen and respawned guys is in the section that notes that the vehicle as a whole would be big enough to carry a squad of guys if it didn't have respawn equipment. Two crew are up front, the reactor and respawner are behind them, the tech/Engineer/whatever sits in back and him and the respawned guys exit through the rear of the vehicle. It has no other transport capability.

As for the conceptual downside....well the US and Japanese managed to run tanks in every single environment on half the islands in the Pacific including dense jungles, so I think a lightweight APC ought to be able to manage. It won't be able to get to every single square inch of ground but if it can get within walking distance  of most targets it'll be OK, since this isn't meant to be getting shot at.

[Man of Paper]

Turn 5 Design Phase

Proposal: Linebacker Mobile Respawn Vehicle
Difficulty: Theoretical
Result: (3+3)-3=3, Buggy Mess

The Linebacker is certainly a vehicle. A lot of it's problems likely stem from the product not quite fitting our standard vehicular design doctrine. One engineer cried out that this should have been easier to pull off, since it drew so much influence from the Rampage, but needed to be reminded that that's a Main Battle Tank, and a notAPC is held to different standards. 

The Linebacker is a somewhat low-profile armored vehicle protected ablative composite armor layered over by a reflective outer layer thick enough to protect it from even our own sniper rifles. A single hatch gives the driver and gunner access to the front portion of the vehicle, while a rear hatch allows access for the guy maintaining the respawner and reactor.

The gunner is in control of the Spotlight poorly mounted a little too flush to the roof, preventing the weapon from effectively engaging targets at lower elevations than itself, and preventing it from engaging close-up infantry entirely. The Huscarl works as expected. The vehicle reaches around 70km/h due to the weight of the armor, reactor, nanite generator, and spawner.

The nanite generator for the respawner is excessively slow, forcing respawns to queue up and trickle out instead of the entire squads we hoped for and making the Linebacker resemble a clown car even more than expected. The reactor that powers the respawner is not connected to the Illuin network, as the entirety of it's power is required for the respawner, and nothing short of an entire company's worth of Illuin equipment could even make enough of an impact to affect the respawner.

The reactor is notably very volatile, and extremely exposed during use, as the rear hatch needs to remain opened to have room for fresh spawns without pasting them against the interior of the Linebacker like bugs on a windshield, or, as one engineer put it a little too excitedly, like the fodder the Goa'uld sent through to Earth's closed-iris stargate. Whatever the hell that means. He smells bad and has a neckbeard, so we tend to ignore him. Anyway, damage to the reactor is exceedingly likely to result in a catastrophic kill.

Overall it's a, uh, well it's a start. We have a lot of work to do to make the product worth using, and right now it is devastatingly unpopular with VS forces, making it a (NATIONAL EFFORT) until we unfuck at least one of it's problems.

----------------     

IT IS NOW THE REVISION PHASE. You have two revisions to utilize. Get to it!

Spoiler: VS Armory (click to show/hide)

Weaponry

"Razer" ShotPistol: A very short-range "shotpistol" that fires a sparse of highly concentrated hardlight fragments. Capable of overloading hardlight shields, doing significant damage to flesh, and moderate damage to armored infantry. Requires a moment to charge when taken out of SAFE Mode. A little bulky, and hums constantly when active.  Usable by: All Classes (CHEAP)
-Immolator Shattergun: The ShotPistol's bigger, angrier brother. Fires a devastating cloud of hardlight filament out to 30m. Blocky appearance, but more comfortable than it looks. Has a foldable stock, pistol grip, and a pump action/forward grip that produces the sound of a traditional shell racking. Usable by: All Classes (CHEAP)

Spark Electrocarbine: An unreliable, quirky firearm capable of arcing bolts of electricity in the general direction of intended targets. There's practically a problem with every part of the Electrocarbine, and it's only really usable within Melee Range. Usable by: Light Assaults (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Monolith Laser Rifle: A light, powerful laser rifle roughly equivalent to a 10mm rifle. Internal energy stores allow it to fire around ten shots in succession before needing to cool for a suggested five seconds. When not being fired the rifle will passively recharge, making it very hard for opponents to figure out when it's safe to pop out of cover. While it's length makes it unsuited for CQB, it is very effective during Medium and Long range engagements. Usable by: All Classes (CHEAP)

Phantom Anti-Opposition Rifle: The Phantom is a devastating long range energy weapon which fires shots equivalent to a 15mm round. It fires a single, completely draining shot before immediately venting heat and requiring five seconds before passing the charge threshold required to fire again. The Phantom can devastate infantry and potentially cause significant damage to lightly armored vehicles. It has an adjustable digital scope capable of providing any level of zoom from 0x to 10x, and is effective at Long and Extreme ranges. Usable by: Infiltrators (VERY EXPENSIVE)
-Spectre Sniper Rifle: A heavily modified, lighter Phantom capable of firing shots equivalent to the Phantom's, with a toggle to switch between a lighter Monolith-like shot and a "marking" shot for friendly Huscarls. A high capacity quick charge battery means all modes of fire can be used fairly consistently without much downtime. The scope is also taken from the Phantom, upgraded with ENVG capability, and can link to Operator signals to mark targets in faction-specific outlines. Sudden bursts of light are automatically adjusted for and have no effect on the scope's clear picture. Usable by: Infiltrators (CHEAP)

Scourge Rapidfire Energy System: The Scourge is the VS' answer to more standard LMGs. It utilizes a very large energy bank which allows a fire rate of 100 RPM with beams equivalent to 8mm rounds before requiring recharging, however overheating is a significant factor. It's also fairly heavy and lacks it's own methods of support. That said, it's still quite effective at Medium AND Long engagement ranges, something most other weapons of the same class cannot boast. Usable by: Heavy Assaults (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Bane Heavy Autolaser: A 12.8mm automatic laser capable of a fire rate of 100RPM, with a personal power supply containing energy for 100 shots with a 15 second recharge, an inability to stay on target, and negligible overheating issues. Cumbersome, but deployable on an infantry level, requiring usage of both the Primary and Secondary loadout slots. Usable by: Heavy Assaults (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Class-Defining Equipment

Basic VS Nanite Cloaking System: A small module that uses Nanites to divert light around the wearer. It provides invisibility to the naked eye for twelve seconds before requiring a full minute to recharge, and, unlike standard cloaking systems, movement does not affect power drain. Firing a weapon will disrupt and discharge the cloak though, requiring a full recharge regardless of how long the cloak was used for. Infiltrator Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Basic Jump Pack: A backpack utilizing jet boosters to provide upward thrust in order to reach high ground or reduce speed when descending. The boost can be sustained for five seconds before needing to recharge for twenty seconds. Light Assault Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)
-HOTAS Light Assault Jump Pack: A Jump Pack modified to utilize two bracer-mounted thrusters for finer controls and the ability to maneuver in the air. The Thrusters, connected to the jump pack via cables, need to be attached to the user's bracers so that they can control the thrusters and detached so the user can do anything else with their hands. The thrusters are stored on hip clips when not in use and are vulnerable to damage. Overall flight time is not affected. A "suicide burn" triggers as the user approaches their landing that drains the Jump Pack to minimize impact. Light Assault Class Item (EXPENSIVE)

Basic Medical Applicator: A small handgun-shaped healing tool that uses Nanites to mend wound slowly (for active battlefield standards) and is unable to Revivify fallen comrades before the Nanite Revivication Process respawns them at a secured base. Combat Medic Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE) [OBSOLETE]

Caduceus Medical Applicator: A Nanite Medical System housed in the bracers of Combat Medic combat armor. Can revive fatally wounded soldiers at a fairly solid speed, with nanites prioritizing more critical injuries. They house and produce nanites fast enough to rarely have an issue with supply vs demand. Can also apply a nanite cloud for automatic wound healing without Medic intervention, though nanite cohesion lasts only for a few minutes. Combat Medic Class Item (CHEAP)

Basic Repair Tool: A device that uses Nanites to mend constructions and vehicles at a snail's pace. They are prone to overheating during extended usage, often requiring multiple breaks to fully repair even mild combat damage. Engineer Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE) [OBSOLETE]

Hephaestian Repair Tool: A repair nanite dispenser system installed in the bracers of an Engineer's armor. Works slightly faster than the Basic Repair Tool, doesn't overheat nearly as much, and can repair significant damage to constructed objects (vehicles, doors, boots, etc.). Engineer Class Item  (EXPENSIVE)

Basic Overshield Generator: A module that, when activated, projects a mesh of Hard Light against it's user. This shielding can deflect or absorb some incoming fire but will fail under a significant or sustained attack. The barrier can be held for thirty seconds and requires two minutes without use to fully recharge. Heavy Assault Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Advanced Siren Comms Unit: A comms headset that can sniff out and decrypt enemy communications and various signals within 200 meters. A terminal on the forearm allows the user to attempt to manipulate or hack into enemy systems. A hardware upgrade in the second bracer comes with the ability to calculate the accuracy of incoming information, and displays the three most likely sets of data based on prior information sniffed from enemy wireless signals. Operator Class Item (EXPENSIVE)

Auxiliary Equipment

Self-Deleting Tube: A metal cylinder that, when activated, disintegrates. Usable by: All Classes (VERY EXPENSIVE) (OBSOLETE)

Nanite Deconstruction System: A metal cylinder able to attach to soft or metal surfaces with the ability to disperse nanites throughout material in a max. diameter of 150cm and depth of 10cm. Materials become weakened or fall apart after nanite exposure. Weakened materials can be battered through, and show no visible signs of being weakened. Usable by: All Classes (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Spotlight Anti-Armor Laser Turret: A turret requiring laser designation to fire a continuous 8cm beam with a maximum uptime of 90 seconds. A human controller remotely designates a target that the turret's internal tracking and computations then tracks, allowing highly accurate fire concentrated on a precise area. The beam is capable of melting a hole in most armor. The Illuin System turns it into a short-range Booster. Best used a Medium and Long ranges. Usable by: Engineers (CHEAP)

Basic Overshield Generator - Secondary Power Core: An extra attachment to the Heavy Assault's Overshield device that grants a second shield to be activated at will. Both shields working at the same time greatly increase durability at the cost of draining both cores. Usable by: Heavy Assaults (EXPENSIVE)

Illuin Signal Booster: A tripod and antenna that acts as a centralized communications node for connected Illuin battery packs (the standard VS power supply) with a radius of 250m. Usable by: All Classes, requires Two Auxiliary Slots (EXPENSIVE)

'Hardcase' Integrated Combat Suit: A cumbersome, inelegant suit of body armor that barely performs it's job. The helmet provides near-full head coverage and uses a very poorly coded VR program to display wireframe images of the surroundings into the helmet for the user. A large antenna also protrudes upward from the back. In general does almost nothing it was meant to besides "be something dudes wear". Usable by: All Classes, requires Two Auxiliary Slots (EXPENSIVE)

Vehicles

Tormentor Light Attack Buggy: A light, unarmored, lightning-fast attack buggy with room for three people - one driver, one forward-facing passenger, one passenger in a back section with a Phantom mount capable of 360 degrees of rotation, though the Phantom and passenger can be replaced by a Spotlight or 4-missile Huscarl ASRAAM. It is capable of hitting speeds of 120km/h on favorable terrain and is affected only slightly by rougher ground. (EXPENSIVE)

Desert Rat Ruggedized Buggy: A lengthened Tormentor with a passenger gun mount, a large weapon mount moved to the top of the vehicle, and extra seating for a total of 7 passengers (+1 Driver). The four seats (two small two-man benches) in the back can be removed for bringing supplies along for extended operations. The larger, reinforced vehicle still hits 120km/h and handles better over a wider variety of terrain. (EXPENSIVE)
-Desert Shrew Logistics and Support Buggy: A rather shoddy modification of the Desert Rat. Has passenger space replaced with a poorly-installed Illuin system and battery array. The gun mount is equipped with the Vulcan Repair Megatool, which runs entirely too hot. It can still repair vehicles, but the operator needs to be cautious. Also has a plow bolted onto the front almost as an afterthought. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Linebacker Mobile Respawn Vehicle: A heavy notAPC with thick Rampage-based armor, a Spotlight capable of almost no depression (unlike the engineers who made it), and a Huscarl box launcher. Poor nanite generation powered by an explosion-happy reactor lead to slow respawn times. The heavy vehicle only manages 70kmh. (NATIONAL EFFORT)

Rampage Main Battle Tank: An MBT with a very low profile armed with a 15cm Illuminator and protected by ablative layered armor with a reflective outer layer as well as a protective skirt. The Illuminator fires at Thaw (a weaker beam with longer uptime meant for infantry targets), Bake (standard laser uptime), and Bonfire (a single draining, devastating pulse), and can usually stay on target. A remote-controlled Scourge is housed atop the turret, though it can be replaced by a 4-missile Huscarl ASRAAM box launcher. Uses an Emergency Shield as a safety net should it take a few solid hits. Can reach 100km/h on wide treads. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Peregrine-T3 Air Superiority Fighter: A small, fast, nimble, unarmored VTOL fighter with a 20mm gimballed nose cannon connected to the aircraft's unified computer system, which aid in targeting as well as coordinating each part of the aircraft for maximum responsiveness and control. Reaches 1200kmh, and has weapons bay that can house extra fuel or a number of Huscarl ASRAAMs. The hull is designed and painted to reduce radar and UV signatures, while in-set engines reduce the thermal signature. Also has flares and chaff. (CHEAP)

Einherjar Rapid Attack Gunship: A lightly armored gunship using VTOL thrusters containing a pilot, gunner, and four passengers. Meant more for delivering and supporting infantry than contesting the skies, it mounts a single 20mm cannon in a nose turret. It can reach speeds of 375km/h and is extremely maneuverable, capable of flying through buildings and trees to deliver it's soldiers precisely where they need to be. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Other:

Illuin Battery Packs: The new standard power supply for VS ground-based weaponry, capable of sharing power between one another in order to improve both rate of fire as well as the ability to sustain it. Charge for connected packs can double, and the pool of energy weapons can pull from is limited only by the amount of Sending systems connected. No sacrifices were made in regard to a single pack's capacity or recharge rates.

Huscarl ASRAAM: The Advanced Short Range Anti-Air/Anti-Armor Multipurpose Missile Munitions System uses a hardlight warhead that can pierce and detonate within hard targets or blast a cone of hardlight against soft targets. Utilizes infra-red tracking and IR-laser designation. Extremely fast and extremely agile, with limited but not too-limited range. Can be mounted on aircraft hardpoints as well as used in a 4-missile Box launcher. (CHEAP)

1-4-1 Vanguard

Equipment: Tanks, Spotlights, and heavy equipment in general. Additional engineer classifications as compared to standard units.
Methods of Engagement: Preferring substantially heavier vehicles, going so far as to outfit their Rampage tanks and various buggies and VTOL aircraft with applique armor or heavier shielding at the cost of speed, they prefer the frontal approach instead of our standard mobile tactics. When we need to break enemy lines, the 1-4-1 Vanguard comes to the fore. They are responsible for taking weakened positions and shattering them with a final assault, surprising our enemies with the sudden change in tactics. Our standard light units follow up and rip apart the surviving enemies with more fast attacks.

Fluff: Formed from the more aggressive members of standard units, 1-4-1 Vanguard is provided with an unusually large contingent of engineers that are capable of keeping their heavier-than-normal vehicles in good repair. Vanguard Elements always have the highest proportion of engineers in their brigades as well as the most armor, but 1-4-1 Vanguard developed a reputation for being the most aggressive, heaviest, and least willing to hit-and-run in the entire army, and has an actually absurd ratio of armor to speed for our military, as well as more engineers than even a normal Vanguard Element.

(The Backer and the shrew)TBTS Tandem system

The linebacker is a product of VS design in progress. Not enough space in the chassis combined with cutting edge tech leads to many errors that, If not an easy fix, Require an ad hoc solution. In this case, the Backer and The shrew TBTS Tandem system as it's known in marketing, Aims to fix a number of key issues.

Wirless energy has always been one of Victory services key products, the illium a true marvel of technology. In this case,it will serve to help save a seemingly doomed vehicle. The primary problem with the Linebacker is a case of space . Not enough for proper function in many areas. Thus, a solution was made. By tearing the primary reactor out of the linebacker and replacing it with a far smaller illium connected one with a battery array, aiming primarily to power its engine and onboard weaponry we are able to make a much larger space for the squads that are brought to life by the nanites, and are able to increase the Nanite generators capacity through a series of Not-Cadues Nanite generators bracketed to the extra space, increasing the number of nanites it can output! The lack of a massive reactor, of course also removed the chance of enemy fire detonating it while operations are underway.

However, with the loss of its volatile reactor, it lacks the energy to fuel the nanites.

In comes the tandem part of the tandem system. By stripping parts out of the back of a desert shrew to create a new variant, The so-named solar shrew of the TBTS tandem system mounts an illium relay along with the formerly removed reactor from the back of the linebacker. Its big, It's fat, it's basically a desert rat that has replaced its guns for a fab tool and its passenger section for a Bomb and an illium relay and it enables us to fix the space problem of the linebacker basically by itself

The newly mounted reactor allows the Solar shrew to provide the required energy to the Linebackers nanite systems through the Illium Relay's, whether sitting far in the back if sufficient relay coverage is present or rather close to the front Using its Fab tool to form Fortifications for itself and its Partner vehicle.  When the Linked linebacker is not using its nanite generator or if otherwise rendered inoperable, The Solar shrew is capable of setting its massive, volatile, and more importantly POWERFUL reactor to aiding the rest of the battlefront.

The downside of this system is unfortunately as obvious as the advantages. The two vehicles must remain in illium relay coverage, whether from being near enough to establish a direct connection or in a sufficiently fortified area to transmit over the Existing relay infastructure. Without the Solar shrew, The linebacker is a subpar APC that cannot even carry any personal, And without the Linebacker, The Solar shrew is merely a massive, Volatile  generator attached to a buggy with a Badly made Fab tool, Providing power and little else to the whole front and just as vulnerable to sabotage from certain assholes *CoughNCCough*

While Adhoc, It enables the Linebacker to fill the roll it was designed for with minimal reductions and allows a second tae for teh desert shrews purpose as a illium Powerbank and relay. One may say its a match made in a mad engineer's Mind.


Linebacker Pylon:

The linebacker suffers from a significant flaw, a lack of space for better internals and a vulnerable reactor. Victory services, as the one and only manufacturer of the Illium system, The galaxy ONLY Wireless Power system, We are in an Interesting position to implement a Unique fix.

The form of this fix is... Strange. By ripping the Vulnerable reactor out of the linebacker and affixing it onto a small trailer then hauled by the Hitch of the linebacker, The Internal space of the linebacker can be freed up to increase both respawn Area, Preventing aforementioned telefrag and an increased Nanite GernertaorPrimarily based on the Caduceus own incredible efficient system. The fact that it looks like a dozen modified Caduceus that has been bracketed to the wall is merely a side product of its incredibly advanced and ergonomic design.

Now, of course, ripping the Generator out has certain.. Side effects. Such as a lack of power to operate not only the vehicles but the spawner as well.

 This is fixed via the illium system. The addition of Illium relays both to the Reactor trailer and the inside of the linebacker allow it to pull the required energy straight from the reactor despite not actually being mounted in the linebacker.
This gives another advantage. Being a hitched trailer, the linebacker is capable of leaving the trailer behind, Ensuring it is either behind friendly fortifications or in a safer area. This combined with its new shell of Armour helps protect the Reactor from the enemy, What with it being nowhere near the actual fire if deployed correctly.

The Reactor will continue to power the linebacker until either they leave Illium Relay coverage, Something delayed by the friendly presence in the area and a series of RElays carried by the linebacker itself. Should the Linebacker find itself be destroyed, the reactor will set itself to Free send power, Keeping Friendly forces in the area topped up with the sheer might of the incredibly powerful reactor.

After the design of this project, some in the break room have begun discussing how to make the Linebackers "Pylon" Easier to Fab in the field with an Engineers Fabrication tool. But projects such as that unfortunately wait for another day.
