[Phaelen Bleux]

Flash Speeder
Subassemblies: Body with Fair Streamlining +2, two Engine Pods -1, full rotation Open Mount -1.
Powertrain: 2x 65-lb. thrust Fusion Air-Rams, 1,500-lb., 2-yard ceiling Repulsorlift Generator with 3,240,000-kWs Rechargeable Power Cell, 2,936,000-kWs Rechargeable Power Cell for cannon.
Occupancy: 1 XNCS, 1 XNPS
Cargo: 10 kg (1.1 cf.)

Armor
All: 3/15

Weaponry:
Light Blaster Cannon [OM:T] (400 shots).

Equipment:
Body: Short-range radio (500 miles), military GPS, autopilot, small computer with Targeting and Routine Vehicle Operation programs, computerized controls.

Statistics:
Size: 4.5 m. x?x? Payload: 422 lbs. Lwt.: 1,227 lbs.
Volume: 42 cf. Maint.: 82 hours Price: $59,632

HT: 12. HPs: 105 Body, 10 each Pod, 15 Open Mount.

aSpeed: 125 aAccel: 2 aDecel: 20 aMR: 5 aSR: 4
Stall Speed: 0.

Design Notes:
Body is 40 cf; Pods are 1.1 cf. Structure is Medium, Standard with Fair Streamlining. Armor is standard metal (Durasteel). Computerized controls. The powerplant runs for 2.5 years on its internal power supply; the repulsorlift generator operates for 12 hours on the power cell before the cell needs to be recharged. Since this is not meant to be a combat vehicle, the battery for the blaster cannon cannot be charged on the fly, and if the power to the gun is depleted the speeder must return to the station for recharging.

Variants:
The Seraph is the civilian version. It deletes the blaster cannon, open mount, Targeting and RVO programs, and battery for the cannon. The GPS is non-military, and the radio is receive-only with a sound system. Cost becomes $32,728, Maintenance Interval 111 hours, Loaded Weight 1,034 lbs., aSpeed 130 mph, aAccel 2.5 mph/s.

Occupancy: 1 XNCS, 3 XNPS
Cargo: 10 kg (1.1 cf.)

Armor
All: 4/50 except U 4/80.

Weaponry:
Medium Blaster Cannon [Body:F] (200 shots).*

Equipment:
Body: Short-range radio with scrambler (500 miles), AESA (200-mile, Scan 25), PESA (200-mile, Scan 25), IFF, military GPS, autopilot, small computer with Targeting and Routine Vehicle Operation programs, computerized controls, full stabilization for all weapons.

Statistics:
Size: 5.7 m. x?x? Payload: 822 lbs. Lwt.: 3,634 lbs.
Volume: 100 cf. Maint.: 27 hours Price: $564,386

aSpeed: 100 aAccel: 1 aDecel: 20 aMR: 5 aSR: 4
Stall Speed: 0.

Design Notes:
Body is 100 cf; OMs are 2.08 cf. Structure is Heavy, Standard with Fair Streamlining. Armor is standard metal (Durasteel). Computerized controls. The powerplant runs for 2.5 years on its internal power supply; the repulsorlift generator operates off of the NPU for 5 years of use. The medium blaster cannon is powered by the power cell; the two smaller guns are powered by two banks of 3 rE cells each.
Some vehicles delete the medium cannon; others feature an ion cannon instead.

Variants:
The V-19 is the civilian version. It deletes the AESA, PESA, IFF, blaster cannons, open mounts, Targeting and RVO programs, and power cells for the cannons. The GPS is non-military, and the radio is receive-only with a sound system. Armor is DR 50 overall. Cost becomes $53,915, Maintenance Interval 86 hours, Loaded Weight 2,148 lbs., aSpeed 104 mph, aAccel 1.5 mph/s.

I post no stats for an ion cannon, because I am still grappling with the concept. Based on the EMP guns of UTT, I think it might be modeled as a paralysis gun with an Armor Divisor of 20. If anyone has any thoughts, please help.

Scaling up paralysis guns and their relatives has always been a problem in 3E. I've written a cruiser whose ship-mounted paralysis guns require a HT-176 roll.

4E Spaceships volume 7, p. 19, has stats for an "ion cannon". You might borrow the effects. Basically design it like a blaster/particle beam, but if sufficient damage "penetrates DR", you get the disruption effect.
