Did an overhaul on the reactor and computer to make it fit better.

Re: Worldwide Motors Corporation Cobra Interceptor Police Cruiser and Computer

 

Pretty solid builds. I tend to work the skeletons out and then add stuff on the fly. The vehicle and computer work well together and I see how you have them interact with each other, elegant builds.

 

If you have a missile detection system you may also want to put some Chaff pods, just to give a bit extra defense.

 

You might also want to give your computer either a detect IFF or KS: regestered vehicles, or something like that so that the driver can "run the plates".

 

Other than that, it's a fast tank. Is there any retention area for offenders, or did the designers just decide that there won't be any prisoners brought back by anyone who would have this car?

 

But, yah, that's about all I got.

Thank ya and was trying to make it that the computer was tailored specifically for the car.

 

I originally had Chaff on the vehicle, but pulled it off due to it pushing the cost of the vehicle too high. I may end up putting it back on since your logic works.

 

Never thought about running the plates and for known offenders. That will be added to the vehicle, but will drop the automated combat systems for it.

 

I wasn't sure how to implement it mechanically, but the vehicle looks like a larger version of the Fiero. There's enough room for two seats side by side with the passenger seat being where prisoners are held at.

Re: Worldwide Motors Corporation Cobra Interceptor Police Cruiser and Computer

 

1. should the armor be ablative, or does it not get shot off or destroyed in collisions?

 

2. is this intended for use in a city or a large area?

 

3. how safe is the fission reactor? are there any issues with maintenance?

how do the environmentalist types feel about the supposed dangers?

 

4. does the missile system have a jammable guidance system?

 

5. does the vehicle have any aerodynamic capabilities or will she just

drop like a rock instead of at least being able to glide safely?

 

6. is it just low power anti-grav or anti-grav for lift and somethingt else

for thrust?

1. The armor is built into the body of the vehicle and shouldn't fracture too much during combat.Think of the armor as being an advanced polymer skin that can take tremendous amounts of damage.

 

2. It's intended for both since the police aren't concerned so much with protecting the innocent like we imagine police today. They're there to enforce corporate law and if innocent bystanders get killed it's no skin off of their back.

 

3. The reactor is pretty safe and if a breach is imminent it will dump the rods to prevent a chain reaction. The dumped rods are sealed to protect the environment and to allow for recorvy to be used in another power plant. All of the environment types in the world are either rampaging marauders or dead.

 

4. Yes, there is a piece of equipment designed to jam the weapon system. It's not on this vehicle though.

 

5. The Pontiac Fiero was fairly aerodynamic which the Cobra Interceptor is based off of. It will still plough into the air though at high speeds due to the bullet shape of the design. There aren't any wings on the vehicle to provide the lift to keep the vehicle in the air if the anti-grav system is taken out.

 

6.It's low power anti-grav with thrusters built into the bottom and rear of the vehicle.

 

Thanks for the questions cat and keep 'em coming.
