It's 203 points of LRFP Armor, and 10 points of FP component armor provide you with all the protection you'll need to survive.

Re: The Unoffial 2056 Vehicle Guide
Gents, don't be shy, feel free to post your own creations here too. I'm really not to worried about what dueling class they fall into as long as they're legal and fun to play around with. I may even get half way motivated and throw in a few dummy adds to go along with the various vehicle designs.

Re: The Unoffial 2056 Vehicle Guide
When I get a bit more time on the computer I'll post a few of my designs .
A couple of questions : It maybe a good idea to say if a vehicle is for Road or Arena use , and is constuctive critisism allowed ? I know some get upset if others start 'having a go' at their designs !

Good idea on the road/area suggestion, and feel free to make any suggestions you want. I'm a big boy and promise not to cry (or aleast not in front of anyone). Seriousl, I don't mind at all. I'm far from design genious, and if you've got a better idea, I for one would like to see it. |

Heres one of my designs ; A tough and hard to hit light road trike . Hard Target: Light Trike , X-hvy Chassis , Hvy Suspension , Medium Cycle PP w/PCs , 3 PR Tires , Cyclist , HMG L ( or Right on British roads ! ), SWC , Sloped Plastic Armour : F35 , L30 , R30 , B30 , T15 , U10 , 1-7pt Cycle Wheelguard front , 2-5pt Wheelguards back , 10pts Standard Component Armour around each of Cyclist , Powerplant and HMG . Accel. 5mph . Top Speed 90mph . HC 2 . Weight 1,859lbs . Cost : $7,985 . This design has a lot of staying power ; the sloped heavyish armour ( -4 to hit from the front or back ! ) lets it hang in taking pot-shots . I'm useing 300lbs as the HMGs weight .

Here's one of my nasty Division 10 arena Compacts : SMASHER '56 : Compact , X-hvy Chassis , Imp. suspension , Medium power plant w/PCs , 4 SBHD tires , Driver , ATG w/APFSDS ammo front , SWC , Sloped Plastic Armour : F50 , R40 , L40 , B40 , T13 , U10 , 2-5pt Wheelguards back . 2-5pt hubs front . Accel 5mph , Top speed 90mph , HC 2 , 4,378lbs. , $9,460 This design has gone through a number of changes since 1989/2039 - I've removed the metal armour as the composite wasn't tough enough to stop a ATG APFSDS shot ! Instead I swapped for cheaper tires and downgraded the suspension to give me those extra spare dollars . Again another tough to hit target ; -3 to hit from front and back , and -2 to hit from sides . With my arena cars , I try to leave $400 and 30lbs weight to spare , so I can take a set of Body Armour and a Portable fire extinguisher - this has saved my butt many times ! ( MUST remember that tyres and armour are spelled tires and armor in the US ! )
