[WDM] Sentinel Experimental Light Tank

With tensions rising between the Starbound Federation and its adversaries, the engineers at White Dwarf created their first tank, the Sentinel. Along with preparing the Starbound Federation for a planetary invasion, the Sentinel Experimental Light Tank serves as a test bed for land combat vehicles, allowing for the creation of more effective and resilient land units. Although the Sentinel doesn't pack much of a punch, its extraordinary speed despite its entirely heavy armor construction and its low profile can give it the edge in combat. The Sentinel's most essential feature, however is its ability to be transported via Eradicator Light Carrier, and dropped from orbit, and landed safely with the help of four parachutes inserted inside its turret. Other lesser features include shutdown and startup sequences, a crosshair projector used in WDM strike craft, a repair projector, a jumpstart reactor, a visual damage display, and other read-outs displaying essential information. The single major sacrifice made during the Sentinel's creation was the removal of the anti-infantry turret from the early prototypes that prevented it from fitting into the Eradicator's hangars.



DO NOT PRESS SPACEBAR WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 M/S! Also, if you are deploying the parachutes yourself, deploy them without the mass blocks on, and at least 350 m above the ground.

- This is my first tank, and I took a 6 month building break, so it is not the best, but at least it's a start. Anyways, enjoy!
