V.M.E Brawler Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle

The G.MS-TAPV-1M Heavy Brawler - Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering is a modified R.U.S.T. Brawler by Aragath, retrofitted for hydrogen-power and autonomous long-range patrols.

It comes with a dedicated Gunner-seat, survival-kit, a single cryo-chamber and an o2/h2-generator along with several small hydrogen-tanks to produce and store its own fuel.

While various mission-equipment has been added to the original design, armament was significantly reduced to provide the required space.


This item is survival-ready! It is fully conveyor-linked, thruster-damage compatible and uses no mods.
A single subgrid is installed: A simple door-hatch made out of armor blocks. The vehicle works just normal without it.

This blueprint was uploaded with consent of the original author.

Ready for DAS!
The vehicle is set-up to be operated with the Driver Assisting System-Script, including lights. Just load the script into the empty programmable block and you're good to go!

Since the scripts strongly interferes with the vehicles general behavior, I decided against including it in the blueprint.




Blocks: 560
Non-armor blocks: 199
PCU: 5,457
Triangles: 715,684
Grid mass: 60,097 kg

The TAPV-1M is a heavy armoured, all-wheel-drive military vehicle, designed to perform a variaty of tasks in any given area of operation. This includes short- and long-range patrols, law enforcement, direct fire support and startegic force projection.
Being able to reach a safe top-speed of 130 km/h, the Brawler is an agile force on plane fields, but lacks climbing capabilities due to its heavy armor. Wheel-settings can be adjusted from the vehicles cockpit to further adapt it to the area of operation.

The vehicle is driven by two four-zylinder hydrogen-engines and comes with a battery-bank to store additional power. A Jumpstart-battery remains on standby, in case the vehicle shuts down automaticly when power runs out. An integrated O2/H2-Generator enables the vehicle to produce its own fuel if required. Additional four small hydrogen tanks extend the fuel capacities up to a maximum of 70,000l.

A Laser-Antenna, an Ore-Detector as well as basic survival gear, containing a Kit and a Cryo-Chamber form the TAPVs primary mission-equipment. This allowes the vehicle to broadcast signals, ore-deposits and other points of interest directly towards other friendly units and its FOB from long distances or even get in contact with air- and spaceborne units.

An integrated camera on the turret provides the gunner with a 360° zoomable overview. Additional armament consists of 2x25mm fixed Gatling Guns and a single 200mm Rocket Launcher, operated by the vehicles driver.
