“Hunh, you’re makin’ some halfway decent time there. You’re coming up on that ten kilometer mark in just under… lessee, four minutes and forty seconds. Ain’t a bad go. But tell you what, once I finish with this here recalibration I figure I should be able to keep the angular momentum in line enough to make that run ‘round the bluff in four thirty even with the extra few tons of equipment on my Bushwacker. I’ll tell yah what man, the Levy-346 fusion motor’s got the power, yah just need to keep up with the calibrations on the actuators or else the-”

“Mailer would you shut the fuck up.”



Doing more technical scifi work. Wanted to try doing something of my own design instead of more star wars stuff. You know it is a lot harder to design stuff from scratch rather than making something that already has dozens of existing references.

This time another piece of Austican military equipment. This time instead of a ship or an aircraft or a tank, we got a Type 99 Mechanized Cavalry Bushwacker unit. Very fast moving, moderately armed, and modular in design, the Bushwacker is designed to disrupt enemy armies rather than to engage in front line combat. Bushwacker units focus more on flanking and causing hit and run chaos, relying on their speed and mobility. Their bipedal locomotion is cheaper than anti-grav units, and their numerous sensors and highly dexterous feet allow them to easily move over uneven terrain that would slow down tracked or wheeled vehicles.

They are also fast enough for some half-drunk troopers to try doing races around the desert mesas.
