[NS] Lohengrin II Sunderer

Kaboom.
⨴ The railgun has two modes - 200x single, and 20x2 auto. In single-shot mode, indicators on the railgun itself will light up.
⨴ The single-shot mode has a 1 second cooldown in order to preserve the integrity of the vehicle.





Despite their best attempts to put ships in orbit over every inhabited planet and eliminate the need for heavy aircraft in strike roles, Nadia's manufacturing capabilities at the time continued to lag behind their ambitions. Nanite Systems won the contract to develop an interim solution, and they produced the Lohengrin II.

To meet the size and weight constraints demanded by the contract, a 300mm railgun was fitted rather than the orbital-class laser cannon the military wanted. This had the benefit of allowing the vehicle to fire from over the horizon instead of needing line-of-sight, but limited its effectiveness (unless nuclear weapons were used, which nobody was comfortable with).


Here is the successor to the Lohengrin. It does not resemble its predecessor in the slightest, due to the fact that said predecessor was, frankly, hot garbage.

This is basically a nicely-skinned ballast brick; it needs to be in order to mount the specified 200x cannon and not weigh a thousand tons.

Build surfaces are instrumental in designing complex bracecube builds; they tell you precisely what shape the bracecubes need to be in order to create a given triangle.

I built this (or something like it) in Space Engineers and it handles like a sports car. Go figure.
(I mean, let's be real: a 150-ton large grid in SE is going to be pretty sprightly.)

Sunderers are heavy assault craft.
They are designed to dispose of hardened emplacements and large vehicles. They deliver destruction from afar upon bunkers, tank columns, airships, and any other target which is more than a swarm of harassers can handle but not quite enough to justify orbital firepower.
