[i]As you go about your post-cataclysm business you slowly become aware of a roar in the distance. The ground begins to shake, a screeching noise becoming more and more apparent as the roar grows louder. Expecting a as of yet unseen horror of the cataclysm you ready your weapon, expecting the worst. But nothing could have prepared you for what you see before you. A massive vehicle, easily twice as long as a semi with it’s trailer, covered in thick, thick armored plating. The roar from it’s engines is deafening even before it gets within thirty feet of you.
It’s brakes squeal horribly as it comes to a stop before you. A horribly mutated, presumably once human now looking more like a bipedal lizard stumbles from the driver’s seat; you take aim. It puts it’s hands up, in one a flyer from before the cataclysm. It looks at you and shouts, deafened by the machine’s roar.
“GREETINGS FELLOW SURVIVOR! I see you’re well armed so I’ll skip the weapons pitch!” he pauses to toss the flyer in your direction, you disregard it and keep your weapon trained on the lizard-like monstrosity before you. “I am something of a traveling merchant! I sell mutigen, meth, guns, ammo, bionics, even do the installations for an extra fee of course… and I was wondering if you might be interested in a trade…”[/i]
The one on the right is after I applied the armor, is there some way to remove the re-coloring from the innards? It’s kinda hard to tell everything apart now.
Weighing in at 64,746 LBS (29,368 KG) Before Fuel and Cargo it’s by far the heaviest thing I’ve built yet. After adding in the weight of the water, hydrogen, and gasoline it weighs in at 66,157 LBS (30,008 KG) depending highly on what cargo is loaded into it the total weight after cargo could easily push it over 60 tons. Making it heavier than the M1 Abrams tank. (Assuming some admittedly dense cargo… like DU Tank shells…)
With 12 V8 Engines and 4 Large Electric Motors it’s top safe speed is 85 MPH with a redlined speed of 1577 MPH. The power to get it to that speed comes at a cost though, almost 80 units of fuel per turn at it’s top safe speed. (And 14 power) A modest acceleration of 8 MPH per turn caps off the speed section.
In an attempt to distribute the load evenly and have redundant tires in the event of catastrophic failure, the RMCC has 66 Wide Wheels.
Fuel, Water, Hydrogen, and Energy capacity are nothing to laugh at. The water tank has a maximum capacity of 400 Gallons, while the gas tank has a maximum capacity of 276 gallons. At maximum capacity the hydrogen tanks can hold 48,000 units of hydrogen (Whatever the units are for hydrogen…) and the storage batteries onboard can store power equivalent to 27,000 batteries.
Capable of storing an armory that’d put moderate sized nations to shame, a dedicated room for crafting, a kitchen, a bedroom, a cockpit, and having each room separated by internal doors and walls I must say it’s the closest thing to a house on wheels I’ve ever built. If there were mountable toilets, showers, tables, hell TVs, I’d have installed those too.
And remember kids, the RMCC once moving stops for nothing… Except for gas stations.
