---Landcrawler---
S'larih heavy attack vehicle
Weight: 110 tons
Crew : 3 maximum

The landcrawler is a relatively new addition to the S'larih arsenal, filling the role that the Doirnon war made necessary, a land based heavy attack vehicle.
It first came to use during the defense of the territory-edge colony Anerih III , where it proved to be very effective amongst the very rough stony landscape of the planet, against the heavy infantry and machinery of the granlon.

It's weaponry consists of a heavy Shilrium-acid cannon that can continously fire extremely destructive acid stream as far as 300 meters , and can continously fire for a few minutes. When the main tank is empty , the vehicle has two additional Compressed , solid-grade shilrium blocks(200kgs each), that can be converted into 2-2 tons of shilrium acid, integrating only water and air to the solid material.
Against distant and airborne targets, the vehicle has 4 missile launchers, with a total of 12 guided (or aspect-seeking) Harpoon-II class missiles.
The movement of the machine involves the segments of the legs extending and retracting as they circle around the central hub. And so they maintain a low center of gravity, a smaller target area, and also, on the last stage while on the ground , the extending leg provides extra propulsion.
The first crew member pilots the vehicle and operates the turret, the second member starts and guides the missiles(when in manual guided mode), and the third member operates the navigational equipment (watching the automap, and the readings of the scanners), and communicates with the other vehicles and infantry of the fighting force. Also, all vehicle functions can be assigned to any member, but the most efficient is the cooperation of 3, considering the complexity of this machine.

(random s'larih character included for size reference (a human is about 30% taller than the s'larih on the picture))

Kissé bonyolult a járószerkezet, de van benne valami...

A lényege hogy nagyon nehéz terepen is tudjon mozogni, ne akadjon el olyan könnyen mint egy kerekes/lánctalpas, de stabilabb és gyorsabb legyen mint egy 'lé;pegetős' gé;p.

Neat. Very original concept. Wheel and legs when other scifi vehicles have wheels or legs. This is very different in a good way.;)

Thanks for your comment and fav! ^^
The idea was basically about a vehicle design that is a heavy combat one but still bears some characteristics of the S'larih race. So, flexible, streamlined , etc... :)

yes it is a very interesting concept. usually vehicles with legs would move way to slow and vehicles with wheels are faster but can not handle all terrain. hybrid has the best of both worlds.

Valahogy szokatlan ez tőled, de é;ppen ezért tetszik is, mert technológiai kinézetben lenyűgöződő vagyok. a Description majd még átolvasom, késő van hozzá már, feküdni készülnék.

Köszi!
Van egy rakás hasonló ötletem, és próbálok minél változatosabb galériát fenntartani, csakhát nem egyszerű kiviteleznem ezeket az ötleteket :)
Valamint, sok szerencsét az engrish-em kibogarászásához :D
