This was originally me translating another paper drawing into scratch, but then also became an excuse to try shadows Mk. 3 Striker Class Height: 130 ft Weight 1800 tons Propulsion: Pneumatic Pistons & Hydraulic Actuators 3x Liquid Methane+Oxygen-based rocket nacelles. Power source: Hydrogen fuel cells Armament: Ionized helium lance Ionized helium barrier Mk. 5 Inverted ionized helium cannons Summary: Designed for speed and low weight. It is one of the few machines at its size to be able to fly even short distances. It is also incredibly efficient. Unlike most other ‘stretched’ plasma weapons that create a tense ‘bubble’ of plasma that creates additional shockwaves when it pops, the folding of the projectile happens over a much longer distance with the mk 5 cannons, with the projectile itself having a middleground of power to energy use. It is still only a mid-range weapon, but the incorporation of air for additional ionized gas and the brief implosion allows for 3x as many shots as similarly powered plasma weapons.
