Title: Some basic cars
Post by: VhenRa on 06 September 2017, 22:07:45

These I did up a few months ago. (In July)

Some conceits: All are 1000 kilo, Tech C vehicles. All have no armor, all have 1 driver and 4 passengers and all are 6/9 speed. (This is to get a proper comparison, I did these mainly to test out my spreadsheet and get an idea of the differing efficiency of the various technologies.)

Electric Car
Tech Level: C
Tonnage: 1000kg
Chassis (Small Wheeled Chassis): 144kg
....1000kg x 1.2 (TL C) x 0.12 (Base)
Movement:
....Cruise: 6
....Flank: 9
....Movement Factor: 40
Engine (Electric-Battery): 150kg
....1000kg x 1.5 (TL C Electric/Battery) x 0.0025 (Base) x 40 (MF)
Fuel (560km): 42kg
....[42kg fuel / (150kg x .05)] x 100km
Armor (BAR 2): 4pts, 64kg
....Front: 1
....Sides: 1/1
....Rear: 1
Crew and Passengers (1 + 4): 375kg.
Cargo: 225kg

ICE Car
Tech Level: C
Tonnage: 1000kg
Chassis (Small Wheeled Chassis): 144kg
....1000kg x 1.2 (TL C) x 0.12 (Base)
Movement:
....Cruise: 6
....Flank: 9
....Movement Factor: 40
Engine (ICE): 200kg
....1000kg x 2 (TL C ICE) x 0.0025 (Base) x 40 (MF)
Fuel (600km): 12kg
....[12kg fuel / (200kg x .01)] x 100km
Armor (BAR 2): 4pts, 64kg
....Front: 1
....Sides: 1/1
....Rear: 1
Crew and Passengers (1 + 4): 375kg.
Cargo: 205kg

Fuel Cell Car
Tech Level: C
Tonnage: 1000kg
Chassis (Small Wheeled Chassis): 144kg
....1000kg x 1.2 (TL C) x 0.12 (Base)
Movement:
....Cruise: 6
....Flank: 9
....Movement Factor: 40
Engine (Fuel Cell): 120kg
....1000kg x 1.2 (TL C Fuel Cell) x 0.0025 (Base) x 40 (MF)
Fuel (1500km): 27kg
....[27kg fuel / (120kg x .015)] x 100km
Armor (BAR 2): 4pts, 64kg
....Front: 1
....Sides: 1/1

And just for fun:

Steam Car
Tech Level: C
Tonnage: 1000kg

Engine (Steam): 300kg
....1000kg x 3 (TL C Steam) x 0.0025 (Base) x 40 (MF)
Fuel (188km): 17kg
....[17kg fuel / (300kg x .03)] x 100km
Armor (BAR 2): 4pts, 64kg
....Front: 1

I'd go with four points of BAR 2 armor (1 per facing) just to represent the vehicles aren't open top jeeps.

Then drop cargo by between 64 kilos. Why did I remove said armor? Huh. I'll go edit it.

Hmm... actually I was misremembering rules. I was actually thinking Higher Tech Armor weighed more, despite same BAR. Why... I have no clue. Don't post while hungry I suppose.

Hey, very nice! We do need more civilian tech to fill those pesky objectives/collateral damage in urban areas.  ;)
