And by motorbikes, I obviously mean ones that can just about go 50 MPH.

Makuta Miras Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I would say yes- I think we have about WWII era weaponry and stuff, so motorbikes might be a tad advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Random Phrase Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Motorbikes were in WWII. They used to give paratroopers little foldable ones.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 would you really want to use up your single starting armor slot for a motor bike? Yeah I think motor bikes have been around as long as automobiles themselves. Lets search: 1860s? wow that's old. a steam powered bicycle was made in 1867.Roper steam velocipede: made somewhere around the 1867 - 1869Daimler Reitwagen: possibly the first real motorcycle in 1885 due to being the first gas internal combustion motorcycle.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Holy ###### I want a steam powered motorcycle now.I am sorry that was priceless. The apparent excitement in your post just made me laugh hard when I read it. On other notes: would this tank be out of the question?(image links to larger file)It is maybe Medium sized but does not have a closed cockpit leaving the driver exposed from the top and rear. The armor from the front is impeccable to compensate for the lack there of from the rear. The Turret can rotate in either direction independently of the treads and it houses two weapons on the barrel. A heavy cannon and a smaller machine gun. Due to it housing a smaller driving platform above the treads and as well as part of the turret itself it requires only one driver who can also man the weapons and navigation systems.

You know you can have more than one character, right? Yes I know you may have more than one character. My question was would you really want to use up that character's starting armor slot for a motor bike? I mean I am pushing it with my RAT but at least it has protective armor and a single weapon. What would a motor bike have? Unless it could be in addition to the starting armor or otherwise collected later. The design looks fine, Prowl. But I don't think driving, loading a cannon and operating the radio and radar all by yourself is gonna be fun.Eh, you may be right. I may have to increase it's bulk size to allow at the very least room for another person up on the platform. Then maybe design a cubby or something under the main console for a 3rd to be able to rest and load the weapons.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Maybe that would be cool to have, though what would it sport as far as weapons? Maybe it would be good as a fast and evasive transport. Not sure if it fits the WWII aesthetic I was told they were going for.

Timageness Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well, they probably wouldn't look like a light cycle if they were to be added into the game; the design would most likely be more akin to one of an early motorcycle, just with a roll cage and some armored plating attached in order to provide some protection for the driver and some normally hand-held weaponry installed just so it wasn't entirely defenseless, or one could go the more interesting route and just make a small cockpit with an oversized wheel rotating around it.Either way, it could still be done.

So I needed a "tank" I could effectively pilot on my own until I became part of a team. The motorbike would I think be even more so. Simply for a more maneuverable means of rapid transport. With even more lack of armor. *RAT stands for Rapid Armored Transport "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...

Timageness Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Besides, it would be a little bit more realistic if all these bandit characters running around would have easier access to jeeps and motorcycles than tanks and Exo-Suits anyway. They are raiding others for supplies, after all.

Nato G Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think the reason that Cor and Kain have done nothing is because we have no idea what we're supposed to do.

Nato G Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Speaking of, did Shard somehow make a day long journey in two posts? I only ask because of this: Unlike some other TBRPGs, travel time exists here. As does a basic overall flow of time. You can't IC starting in a city at day and reaching the opposite coast by nightfall. For one, travel is dangerous, especially through enemy territory or Nomansland. Expect to have the GM throw stuff at you during travel, especially if you're making it sound easy. If you're part of one of the expeditions for example, you can't race ahead too much. The speed of the plot is somewhat tied to GM posts regarding it.
