Instead of doing one build you will be required to make two different constructions.This Contest's topic is: "Light Attack Vehicle & Armored Personnel Carrier (Ground Vehicles)".

*This contest is organized by the UESC community in collaboration with and sponsored by Keen Software House*

The UESC wants to reach out into the community, providing a whole new way to enjoy Space Engineers. So to provide amusement and fun for the Space Engineers community as a whole, we decided to host a competition on a monthly basis with prizes in the form of games.

Every month, with every new contest, there will be a new topic, defining the type of your creation. If you were able to build anything your imagination can offer, then the judges would have a really tough time!



The UESC is able to offer prizes in the form of video games. These video games, which are the main prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, will be sent to the winners in the form Steam keys or download links. All the games will come from HumbleBundle[www.humblebundle.com], which means that the winners will get their free games, the money goes to charity and everyone is happy!

This months prizes are sponsored by the UESC and Keen Software House!
1: Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
2: Talisman: Digital Edition & Talisman: Digital Edition Frostmarch Expansion
3: STRIDER

Keen is graciously giving the three winners their choice of either Space Engineers or Medieval Engineers in the form of Steam Keys. If you don't have M.E. yet, now's your chance to win a copy. Alternatively, you can win some S.E. Game Codes to give to your friends.

This month we will be doing something a little different. You are required to make two different ground vehicles for this contest. Your first build will be a Light Attack Vehicle(LAV). Second will be an Armored Personnel Carrier(APC). There will be two different requirement lists so please pay attention and don't get them mixed up. Remember that everything must be a world file with both vehicles included. Separate vehicle entries will be ignored. (we will warn you ahead of time)

• Must be made 100% out of small grid blocks.
  
• 1000 Block limit.
  
• Must be able to seat at least 2 people (4 max)
  
• Must have wheels.
  
• Can only have one turret. (passenger controlled)
  
• Must be able to operate on artificial and natural gravity.
  
• (Optional) Can have static weapons for pilot to use.

Think Jeep or armored car. You can do your own research on what an LAV may look like. If the block limit becomes to low I will only change it to 1500 if needed.

• Must be made 100% out of small grid blocks.
  
• 2000 Block limit.
  
• Must have wheels.
  
• Can only have up to two turret. (passenger controlled)
  
• Must be able to operate on artificial and natural gravity.
  
• Must hold 10 people exactly (Driver + Gunner + 8 Passengers)
  
• Must be able to walk into the rear passenger compartment.
  
• (Optional) Can have static weapons for pilot to use.

You can do your own research on what an APC may look like. If the block limit becomes to low I will only change it to 2500 if needed.


This time around you will only be rated on two aspects, for this contest those are: Combat Ability (Speed, Armor, Armament), and Role Play (Does the vehicle look and do what you say it can do). Everything has been put in a general setting to make up for having two vehicles to judge. Overkill can diminish your points, this way you will have to make different design choices.



Only a small amount of modifications are selected each month, highly depending on the topic. There will be a set amount of mods this time. The only way you can request a mod is if one from the list is removed by popular comments. (excluding weapons)

*Remember that using mods is not mandatory. You can build in vanilla as well*

• Small Ship mega Modpack
  
• Reworked Armor Ramps
  
• More Armor Ramps
  
• Blast Door Sections
  
• Reworked Armor Panels Mod~(DX-11 Ready)
  
• Azimuth Complete Mega Mod Pack~(DX-11 Ready)
  
• SlopeLCDPanels (DX11)
  
• TVSI-Tech Diamond Bonded Glass (Creative) [DX11]

In addition you may use any weapons mod available on the steam workshop. However I must warn you to Be realistic. Try to make your vehicles as close to what a real world combat vehicle would have on it. No 250mm guns on the front, got it?.

*All entries will be judged using the Blood Gulch map made by Ravric. Note that this map uses two mods, Planet Skybox by W4stedSpace, and Natural Gravity by Digi.*

*Please upload your entries as a world using the Blood Gulch map*


You may also use all skyboxes, LCD mods, sound mods and scripts available on the workshop without undergoing sanctions.


Everyone can enter the contest, you do not need to be nor become a member of the UESC, even though new members are highly appreciated and always welcome. Simply post your creation as a world file in the comment section with the following submission form:



DISCLAIMER
Submissions may not be eligible in the following cases which will result in disqualification:
- Posting more than one submission per player
- Not using the submission form given above
- Posting the submission as blueprint
- Using mods that are not listed above (with the exception of skyboxes, LCD mods and scripts)

For now, All Judging will be done in DX9, so please account for that if anything in your build is based around extra DX11 functionality. We are sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.


I wish you all good luck and I look forward to see what awesome creations you guys come up with! If you've any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
