Vehicles

Vehicles are responsible for all of the grunt work in the game including carrying ore, constructing buildings and connection tubes, attack and colony defense, colonist transport, mining operations and so on. No colony is successful without an army of support vehicles standing by.

Cargo Truck

Construction Vehicle (ConVec)

Earthworker

Evacuation Transport

Eden and Plymouth

Geothermal Constructor (GeoCon)

Repair Vehicle

Eden OnlyRepair Vehicles are available only to Eden. They can field-repair any vehicle up to one-half of its original hit points and structures up to their full hit points, using Common Metals (and Rare Metals, if the item being repaired cost Rare Metals to build) in the process.

Light Combat Chassis (Lynx)

Given the limited resources available for vehicle design and repair and the sudden need for combat units, a modular approach has been taken to tank design, using utilitarian chassis designs to which a variety of weapon turrets can be mounted. The Lynx is the earliest of these, initially adapted by Eden from the Scout design, with enhanced power generation capabilities, dura-composite armor and hard points to mount Eden’s first weapon turrets. When Plymouth began its own weapons program, it adapted the same design.

Medium Combat Chassis (Panther)

Like the Lynx, the Panther-class combat chassis is adapted from an earlier light utility vehicle design. While the Panther is slower than the Lynx, it trades speed for heavier armor and increased combat survivability. Both Plymouth and Eden units are based on the same original design, and differ primarily in weapons loadout.

Heavy Combat Chassis (Tiger)

The heaviest combat chassis, the Tiger is heavily armored and carries not one but two weapons turrets. The Tiger chassis is based on a design in the encrypted weapons files brought from Earth. It is the only combat chassis designed from the ground up as a weapons platform. The Tiger chassis is mounted on tracks rather than wheels, and is somewhat slower than wheeled combat units. Despite an enhanced power system built around an R-3000 cool-fusion reactor and quad-banked volt-sinks, the Tiger must fire its turrets alternately to allow for a stepped recharge. This still doubles the effective fire and reload rates for a given weapon.
