Though equipped with all kinds of walkers and fast recon vehicles, StarCorps lacked a crucial type of combat unit - tanks! This inexcusable drawback now ends with the introduction of several new tank types. Beginning with an impressive behemoth - the...
"TEMPLIN" CLASS HEAVY SIEGE TANK
One of these rolling fortresses has enough range and firepower to take out a small outpost in short time.
Three size 7" main barrels that can be fired individually or simultaneously, a size 3" gatling and a rocket-pod with 6 size 2" rockets are an impressive main armament. additional firepower could be added to several hardpoints, even if the energy would have to be heavily diverted then.
Cargo space and crew capacity allow it to operate autonomously for several days, the minimal crew consists of a driver, a gunner and in some cases a tank commander. Space is enough to hold a complete squad of troopers or even 2 soldier squads. But more likely the crew is complemented with technicians or other specialists, for troop transportation is usually taken care of by the Phalanx APC
The complete design is kept modular, so it´s easier to transport, repair and modify (and hopefully easier survives being brought to cons someday)
The BOAST: Man, I´ve really learned much about angled building the last days. Although I could use some techniques used in former MOCs (like the Ether´s Empress), many angles were hard to combine while looking good and being stable at once. And I can say my skills improved with trial and error in the last years, for it took barely a week to slam this thing together. Also, unlike most years before, I didn´t have to order pieces and could fully rely on stocked parts. And I´m highly satisfied with the result.
Happy Blarney Build!
