A couple of heavier Speeder variants, fully covered and a bit more armored, with turret on the top, featuring multipurpose capabilities.

- Main model will carry on the turret the minigun of the minigunner.
- One variant with turret adapted to hold rocket lauchers and a mortar on the back.
- One variant with flamethrower on the turret with a fireball alike skill.
- One variant with turret adapted to carry multiple Pads devices to strike air and ground units.
- One "water patrol" variant with mine dispenser that can be placed both on water or on the ground. And also can detect stealth.

Well I do like the ideas but are you... Suggesting 5 individual speeder units? And we have 3 already... That's too many.
Ad 1st - I guess that can do, reptilans need their version of hovercraft
Ad 2nd - reptilians aren't suppose to have many ranged units so no
Ad 3rd - not really - flamethrower trucks always seemed chesey for me
Ad 4th - well you can pack PADs into a transport speeder, that doesn't sound necessary
Ad 5th - the current combat one is supposed to be water patrol - we can add it ability to drop mines I guess

Well reptilians do need way more vehicles in between the "heavy walking tanks" and "light scooters", so 5 is a good number just to start... And what could be a smart reptilian way to have that if not just recicle their bikes in a Mad Max style?

1 - ok
2 - Yep, but they can ask the greys for such advanced technology or it is not like they would not steal to at least salvage other races equipament aswell right? :lol:
3 - Hmm, trucks? Idk what is the idea of flamming vehicle you have but this is a speeder... Tho, FAV's idea is to scorch the area and they work for the job. And i think reptilians do have a tendency to have many of them. :lol:
4 - Really? You need 2 factories to make it on 3 turns, one for the pads and the other for the transport, 5 turns in the total... I'm looking for stuff that you can actually be done on a single factory in 3 turns...
5 - Could be done, but i actually got a really cool idea for that one, that is summon a single soldier... In other words, to drop the single reptilian soldier it owns in the backseat, to be something like the goliath scout and the dog.

Those pretty much count as light scooters if you want them to cost 3. If you want them to be like medium tanks then they should cost 4 and I wouldn't call them speeders. In fact some medium "tanks" would be ok.

1 - ok
You can make the image
2 - Yep, but they can ask the greys for such advanced technology or it is not like they would not steal to at least salvage other races equipament aswell right? :lol:
No for now. The suggestion I have already made about that are enough I believe. I might rethink more such vehicles for reptilians later on. It's just that ranged wepaons for reptilans, especially rockets, are a huge balancing factor because of stealable tech paths.
3 - Hmm, trucks? Idk what is the idea of flamming vehicle you have but this is a speeder... Tho, FAV's idea is to scorch the area and they work for the job. And i think reptilians do have a tendency to have many of them. :lol:
Can you really use a flamethrower from a moving vehicle with no problems? That's the question I have.
4 - Really? You need 2 factories to make it on 3 turns, one for the pads and the other for the transport, 5 turns in the total... I'm looking for stuff that you can actually be done on a single factory in 3 turns...
We will see reptilans will need any more anti air
5 - Could be done, but i actually got a really cool idea for that one, that is summon a single soldier... In other words, to drop the single reptilian soldier it owns in the backseat, to be something like the goliath scout and the dog.
I don't like the idea at all. Also are you just kinda trying to reproduce the Goliath ideas with speeders? Not all for it too.
