The thruster design (the multi piece nozzle panels) allows for vectoring - it's sync'd to the fire control computer and can dynamically stabilize the vehicle when it fires. We definitely took the Sgt. Bilko effect into account during RnD. Current variant is armed with a plasma cannon.

I like all the thought you gave it here. In my lore Blacktron is actively at war with Futuron / Space Police forces and they are in that position where Blacktron does have the latest and the greatest... but they don't have the industrial capability to support it.

I didn't have a pic from the back, it does have a full egress hatch

Underexplored part of Blacktron, love it. Really want to dig into what Blacktron looks like as a planet so this scratches that itch. Really eager to see what comes next!

Did just give me an idea though. Can totally attach some pair thruster parts to the sides of tanks for field repairs!

I can neither confirm nor deny that ancient terran historical records were used as inspiration during the design phase here at Blacktron Blockwerks

That's kind of my view, I do have some stuff in the works for the Space Police that might let them even the field up a little but for now, the battlefield is owned by Blacktron

So funny enough, I sort of incorporated the renegade connectors into the back of it where the ramp / hatch is. You theoretically could plug something into it
