Description:

(HV CPU Tier 4, Class 2, Unlock Level 20, Alpha 12)

Primary roles: Heavy Tank, Salvage, Storage, Shield, Drone Hatch, Survival comforts

The Skaar is a new faction of human space pirates, raiders, mercenaries, and scrappers. This is the sixth build with more to come in the future. The Ripper is a heavy HV Tank designed to take on tough POI’s or other engagements. Some say It is a scaled up reverse engineered MCRN-Ballista-T4 on steroids, others say it is just hype and a fear tactic. Either way it proved successful in clan wars on the outer planets. Most defenders simply will throw down their arms if they see this coming their way, which has allowed the Skaar clan to dominate against other local rival clans.

Offense and Defense

The hull is built with layered combat steel offering strong defense and able to take a lot of abuse. It is said the entire front of the tank could be destroyed and still operate close to normal. It is generally thick armored thru out with it’s weakest point being the bottom and strongest point being the front end.

It has maximum allow allowed weapons in standard game rules set up for unblocked line of site from all turrets attacking forward. Beyond turrets it also has 6 separated gatling guns, shield, and plenty of ammo storage. It also includes two retractable multi-turrets and 2 passenger seats.

The tank has an internal secure cockpit also made with combat steel keeping the operator safe unless near total destruction of the vehicle.

It comes with 9.5K ammo storage, 11K harvest storage, and 4K standard storage + 1 cargo box. It has Wifi, detector, drone hatch, o2 and dispenser, armor locker, constructor, fridge, 2 passenger seats, clone chamber, and med bay. It also has two retractable multi-turrets and exterior spot lights (Controlled via P menu)

I hope you enjoy!

Notes:

This tank was designed around the same concept of the MCRN-Ballista-T4 however with increased CPU. It has many improvements but does cost more. In comparison it offers the the same general turret count and layout however has 2 additional gatling guns. The hull, thrust, and hover engines are also increased for better protection as well as strafing and maneuverability. The ammo storage vs the Ballista was more than doubled to allow for longer engagements without restocking. It has 2 retractable multi-turrets and 11K harvest storage to scrap destroyed POI’s. One last thing, it has around 8K extra CPU available in case there is something else you would like to add.

The front hallway could be filled with additional defense blocks as well as a open wall layer in front of that. The idea was to try to keep weight down but adding some spaces between block rows.
