UESC Contest APC and LAV (Blood Gulch Map)

Hi there. This is my entry for the UESC vehicle building contest. The goal was to build a light attack vehicle and an armored personnel carrier with certain requirements and restrictions.

First off, the LAV: As armament it features a double barreled 23 mm turret, controlled by the gunner, and a fixed gatling controlled by the driver. There is a small interior that houses the drivers seat and the gunners station with two small containers for the crews personal equipment. The nose is heavy armor with diamond bonded glass, though the rest of the vehicle is only lightly armored. The reactor, oxygen systems and main cargo container are in the back, where supplies can be refilled by hand either from the inside of the vehicle or the outside from a small cargo container.
It's got four wheel drive with steerable back wheels, where the suspension is set up to work in 0.5G natural gravity, though the driver can easily adjust the settings (second toolbar). It also features space balls for artificial mass (third toolbar).

- 55 tons of mass loaded up, space balls for artificial mass (up to 20 tons)
- 2 man crew composed of driver and gunner
- 1 medium cargo container for main storage
- 2 small cargo containers for equipment storage inside the passenger compartement
- 1 az tiny fusion reactor for power (ridiculously overpowered at 20 MW)
- displays showing status information about the vehicle (MMasters script)
- 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering (back axle steering can be toggled on/off)

Since the collision box of the astronaut is larger than the guy, you have to park the LAV on a flat surface and crouch to get inside it.


The APC features the same main turret as the LAV, but got an additional interior turret at the front to provide cover fire against infantry. Besides the driver and gunner it can carry eight infantrymen with storage for their individual equipment. The overall armor is only strong enough to withstand light attacks, as agility and speed are more important to get personnel in and out of dangerous spots.
Fuel and ice can only be refilled from the inside, though the storage capacity for oxygen and ammo is high and should keep the APC going for extended runs once filled up.
Due to its mass it has got 8 wheels, all of them steerable. Suspension and base artificial mass are set up to work best in 0.5G, though everything can be adjusted easily.

- 130 tons of mass loaded up, space balls for artificial mass (up to 60 tons)
- 2 man crew composed of driver and gunner
- 8 passengers with individual cargo space
- 1 medium cargo container for main storage
- 2 small cargo containers for equipment storage inside the cockpit
- 1 az tiny fusion reactor for power (ridiculously overpowered at 20 MW)
- displays showing status information about the vehicle (MMasters script)
- 8 wheel drive, 8 wheel steering (back wheel steering can be toggled on/off)


Both vehicles are set up to work best in 0.5G envoirement. I noticed major difficulties with setting up the suspension after 1.102, so I artificially increased the weight of both vehicles, which made them much better. I hope that will be only temporary and there will be another update to make the wheels work again.
