Sunslammer II is done!
It’s kinda crazy powerful. The two compartments to the sides are the enclosed living/crafting/essential storage space and the solar reactor. Powered by a 1.989 E30 kg fusion reactor (Not the biggest around, but 99% less chance of burning out into a black hole), this vehicle has 9 electricity transfer panels, around 10 or 12 storage batteries, 5 gas tanks, A V6, A V8, and 2 large electric motors.
It weighs stupidly much.
Not a competitor for biggest vehicle, but i’m happy with it. Sunslammer III will be geared towards a smaller, more maneuverable base. I keep losing my stuff inside the like 102 trunks that are on this thing. It has been designed so that when the back shutter door is opened, you can actually see out the back. Perfect for avoiding backing into stuff. The frontal cockpit has a side and front full vision, and the use of plated trunk doors for the windshields allows me to shoot out of the thing when needed and barricade myself in the cockpit when needed as well. When in the enclosed area, you can craft, make repairs, sleep, cook, and forge stuff without worrying about anything intruding upon your slumber. There are 24 wheels on the bottom and it’s quite nice to live in. I hope I won’t destroy it too soon XD
EDIT: I was speeding through a forest to get to a triffid grove I thought was in that direction, and I lost the entire thing in a river. A river that was 2 map tiles across, and just big enough so that Sunslammer II could get sunk in it. It was the most hilarious thing. One moment i’m rumbling around in this monster of a vehicle, listening to the smashing of trees, when suddenly I hear splashing and then there’s no more Sunslammer. Hilariously, I was above the water for one turn after it sank, and then the message
"You sink like a rock!"
I died to a jabberwocky in the night, after trying to make my way back somewhere safe.
I can imagine the scene now, in a Wile E coyote like sequence:
Scene 1: Crazy hobo cackling and driving around pillaging the forest in crazy death tank
Scene 2: He hears loads of splashing outside, but keeps going through. His car starts sinking, and he doesn’t notice. While the rest of the vehicle around him sinks, he stays in the air.
Scene 3: He looks down at the vehicle he’s no longer sitting in, then to the audience. He gulps and falls into the lake as gravity realizes something’s wrong.
Scene 4: Grumbling, the crazy hobo gets out of the water, soaking wet. He looks up at the sly jabberwocky that is here suddenly. Crazy hobo gets eaten by jabberwocky, cut to black.
In retrospect, this could have been avoided had I repaired my headlights. I figured I didn’t need it because I was driving an invincible deathmobile, right? I am not going to try and recover it, though, as A: don’t know how to, and B: I had my fun. My character had like 3.2K killcount by the end of it.
