I'm bored...so I decided to try my hand at some Lightning Varients..
The Empire Specific Lightnings will, obviously, have more armor than the standard Lightning and will come with 2 guns, 1 for Infantry & Aircraft and one for Vehicles (like the Lightning...basically).
These varients will also require a Tech Plant to use.
Anyways....
VS Nova
Armor - 1500
Speed - 80 KPH
The Nova is the staple Light Tank of the Vanu Sovereignty.* Equipped with a single Particle Singularity Cannon for defense against Vehicles and a single Quasar Cannon for defense against Infantry.
The Particle Singularity Cannon fires beams of pure energy with no arc, allowing this tank to hit targets at a distance with ease, doing moderate damage to Vehicles and Aircraft, and light damage to Infantry.
The Quasar Cannon utilizes rapid firing energy beams to take down Infantry and low-flying Aircraft, doing moderate damage to both.
The Nova has also been outfitted with advanced Vanu hover technology, enabling this tank to effectively "drive" over water.
NC Paladin
Armor - 1700
Speed - 70 KPH
The New Conglomerate's Light Tank.* The NC Paladin is outfitted with a Medium Gauss Cannon for attacking Vehicles and a Magnetic Pulse Driver for dealing with Infantry and Aircraft.
The Medium Gauss Cannon is a weaker variation of NC Thunderer's Heavy Gauss Cannon.* Unlike the Heavy Gauss Cannon, the Medium Gauss Cannon only does moderate damage to Vehicle & Aircraft while only doing light damage to Infantry.
The Magnetic Pulse Driver is a new addition to the New Conglomerate Vehicular Arsenal.* The Magnetic Pulse Driver utilizes an advanced Magnetic Delivery System, allowing this weapon to fire out rounds with an average speed and accuracy & with decent power against Infantry & Aircraft, the Magnetic Pulse Driver is the prime choice for taking out Infantry and* Aircraft.
TR Sidewinder
Armor - 1600
Speed - 75 KPH
The Light Tank of the Terran Republic.* The Sidewinder comes equipped with a 90mm Cannon, with straight firing capabilities, for dealing with Vehicles and a standard 15mm Rotary Chaingun for attacking Infantry & Aircraft.
The 90mm Cannon is a newly developed weapon of the Terran Republic.* Efforts to create a straight firing variation of the 100mm Cannons that are mounted on the Prowler resulted in the creation of the 90mm Cannon.* While the 90mm is indeed weaker than 100mm, it's straight firing capability and decent armor damage output makes it a good choice against Vehicles.
The standard issue 15mm Rotary Chaingun, which was developed for the Raider & later mounted on the Prowler (replacing the 12mm Rotary Chainguns), has been outfitted on this vehicle.* This gives the Sidewinder decent Infantry and Aircraft defense.
I think they're ok.....but even if they're not...at least the names kick ass ;D
