Of course. But if it doesn't have No-Spill(tm) brand cupholders, it is an abject failure.

That feature will be introduced in the Objective Interim models, current Interim model have only conventional Objective Force Counter Drink Spillage Containment Devices.

You can sit in your bunkers. Have fun. I'll nick your orbital assets while you wait for the ground to solidify enough to support your light vehicles.

Thus the reason behind HAB emphasis on an amphibious or snorkeling capability for all ground vehicles.

Madness! Your coffee will go everywhere! Next you will say you did not add the fold-out map holder or DVD navigation! You've doomed us all!

Your tanks snorkel.

Well, then. It's time to hand out corks.

This is HAB, all equipment is standard for cost has become as irrelevant as that foolish concept of maintaining an environment fit for life.

They are quite able to defend themselves while submerged, and in any case I strongly doubt the viability of a cork holding against the vacuum or exhausted pressure created by an AIE power system.

Somebody send the ship from Gradius after that thing!

Wow. That thing is a land battleship!

While I agree a video would be amazing, I think there would have to be many, many more Abrams before they actually pose a threat to it. It could simply crush them with its massive treads. There would have to be hundreds of them, I think, before they become a threat.

Anything that can resist weapons system this will fall once my Bureau starts production of it's antimatter spiced davey crockett warheads with PLUTO drive motors. (The problem is that so many factory works die from the immense radiation exposure gained during a brief work period in there that it's becoming hard to find replacements (even with unwillful employment))

Well, now we know where Manji went: the HAB captured him and forces him to churn out new designs for the Great Leader.

I've noticed that some of the stairs have guardrails blocking the tops of them. And some slanted surfaces which would undoubtedly be difficult to scale have handrails.

my "suggested" personal vessel for a fanfic somebody wrote on ASVS

kinda puts the Death Star into perspective

All this effort, and I bet it still just has two-way speakers. And crappy bass.

Tsk tsk. Sloppy.

I'm concerned that these light recon vehicles of my armor legions might not have sufficient firepower to be efficient scouts. I'll get my minions in my design bureaus to add some beef right away.

Quite right, In accordance with the law of manji those main guns need to be atleast 16 inches in diameter and fire nuclear warheads.

You protect space, I sneak in and stick a knife in there side. Or a three round burst into their forehead.

And I'll nuke whatever assets they manage to mobilize on the tactical level.

Yeah, what does that have to do with stopping people from seizing our orbital assets?

Somewhere, in some alternate timeline, a Space Marine Chapter catches a glimpse of this vehicle. Somehow Land Raiders just...don't seem to cut it anymore.

No, my SPARTANs are organized into cells.

Well, you HAB guys better hurry the fuck up. I'm getting tired of seeing nothing but BLUE sky. I was promised mottled brown and gray, and you guys just ain't delivering. What's up with that?

darthdavid · Post by **darthdavid** » 2004-12-14 07:38pm

You should hear a distinct whistling sound in a few seconds. Shortly there after it will become a roar. Then nothing. Oh there will be sound, just not for you.
