The purpose of this truck is to haul a mobile alcohol distillery and storage facility. The guy driving it is a dwarf. More importantly, the driver is a dwarf who prefers to be drunk but does not have any driving skill.
I have 394700 to spend on the truck. The APB is already paid for, but I could use any remaining funds from the truck build to add useful systems. I'm open to suggestions and tweaks.
Hover Truck (256K)
- Toughness 26(12) MDC; Size 4 (Large)
- Crew: 1+1
- Handling: +2
- Mods Remaining: 4
- Artificial Intelligence: The vehicle’s AI can operate all systems—from driving to weapons. It has a skill level of d10 in these tasks, but is an “Extra” and does not receive a Wild Die. The AI does not suffer from multi-action penalties if given simultaneous tasks. In combat, the AI acts on the driver’s Action Card. Giving the AI a short verbal command is a free action.
- Hover: The vehicle hovers over the ground and ignores most Difficult Ground penalties caused by low terrain obstacles or water and can handle drops of about 100 feet with no maneuvering roll required.
- Sensor Targeting Suite (STS): Provides advanced communication (radio range 20-miles) and a full sensor suite with HUD (Heads Up Display) readouts incorporating chemical, 360 degree radar, thermal imaging, active night vision, 50× magnification optics, and audio pickups that can catch whispers at 100 yards—grants +2 to Notice rolls and ignores Illumination penalties.
Onboard targeting systems negate up to 2 points of Range, Multi-Action, and other penalties when Shooting its weapons. The system also includes an Improved Stabilizer, see Vehicles in Savage Worlds. (The Unstable Platform penalty is reduced to 0 for the vehicle’s main weapon.)
