Bokkuro Society Technology - Vessel Types
Added 2024-01-23 06:54:27 +0000 UTCa concept for a mecha type i been cooking in my mind.
for a different type of combat style that i really like, which is a grounded style of combat.
They are relatively lightly armored and only equipped with simple long sliding plated armors for the vital parts. The Vessel system is my own design.
the ideas is that these VT can shift it essential framework around to basically transform it entire dimension and profile. The Attack Mode (AT) would stretch it frame out making it taller and more maneuverable in rough terrain and flexible dues to thinner frame and joint, and higher vantage point and higher vision in exchange it lack stability and survivability because of the armor plate sliding to cover the taller profile.
AT mode is generally used in rough terrain, urban or steep terrain. and it's a great platform for close quarter combat in mele distance.
The Defense Mode (DEF) is the other way around, shifting the frame and shrink the profile down, thus smaller and wider profile.
This would provide more stability from the lowered center of gravity and survivability from the stacked armor.
DEF mode is generally used in flat terrain, enclosed areas, terrain lack of cover and long sight line, and it's a strong platform for long range, medium engagement using ranged ballistic weapon.
