They reinforce each other. I have characters set up to go to a lot of cool places, but I don't have enough cool places yet. Jupiter-sized planet with Earth-normal conditions most of the place, civilizations rise and fall but nowadays usually at least get to internal combustion, if a bigger empire or a horde of tigrephants or snakeriding nomads from the vacuum volcanoes don't kill everyone first.

Now I want one of those that can drive across lakebeds.
how did we get to a second thread without Deserts of Kharak
i mean it's land vehicle porn: the game
>>46102287
What happens after they get internal combustion? Why do they stop there?
Also, a rocky Jupiter-sized planet? That's kind of insane. The gravity would be massive.
>>46102458
Some of them get to gray goo nanotech and personality backup before dragons or whatever eat them, but by that point some idiot will listen to the ghostly radio broadcasts and build what they say to build, and then that area turns into living dark or flips upside down or turns into malevolent cyborgs and gets shut down by the gods.
The planet's hollow. The poles are both sinkholes that turn into Gabriel's Horns stretching into infinity, darker and more dangerous the deeper you go, and gravity's handled by some other method (there's a valley where a gravity dragon was slain by a solar paladin long ago, and the goddess of gravity in her grief has boycotted the place - I haven't figured out natural spin colonies yet, but I'm getting there). I'm trying to keep a generally realistic feel to it (the gods very, very rarely intervene), it's just their list of unsolved mysteries of physics, biology, and history is a million times longer than ours.
Oh, and space travel is absolutely impossible without nukes or magic. Theelveslaunched a space fortress by Orion drive over their enemies' capital.

Also, source on that movie?
>>46103915
Wings of Honneamise. Prime Anno animating a movie about a secondary-world space program, some of the best "dieselpunk" as far as that word can be described that's out there. Everything's different but the same. It's a work of great beauty.
>>46104135
Is the same anime as >>46098147
It looks a bit different.
>>46104295
No, the huge tanks are Venus Wars. That one also had motorbike-mounted railguns, but I can't find the webm of that.
>>46104490
Thanks! I'll watch that next!
I'm watching the Space force Wings of Honneamise right now, why aren't there such crazy beautiful unique cartoons like this anymore?
I think last exile is the most modern thing I can think of.
>>46104800
>last exile
there's something weird about military powers with flying battleships and carriers still fighting with line infantry
>>46104800
Last Exile and Pilot's Love Song shouldn't be the best in their subgenre. But they are. Unless Sky Crawlers is good, haven't ever managed to get into that one.
>>46104961
There was a plot device. Still was stupid. Some writer didn't know how to kill their darlings.
>>46104522

It was a ritualized engagement of honour, just like the ship battles themselves, it wasn't really supposed to be a military tactic with victory in the modern sense in mind. I mean, their engines are crewed by a foreign power and all, and they don't pick up fighter bomber tactics till near the end of the series.
Stipl, as far as depth of detail goes in an anime, it was second to none. With the bonus of no stupid lengthy exposition at every turn too.

>What more do you want?
More armor. That's what defines a tank: whether it was designed to take on other tanks head-to-head. APCs are designed to carry troops and protect them from small arms--if they run up against proper tanks, that's when their crews start yelling "Oh shit!"

You know what's a really good way to prevent a revolution?
Kill a lot of 18-25 year old males on a regular basis.
>>46108404
That makes a lot more sense than lolguild doing it as a game.
I still wish they'd had something for the climax that wasn't a Death Star.
>>46103060
So..
what exactly are you looking for when you say dieselpunk? When I hear diesel punk I think Zeppelin's, small aircraft, Tesla coils etc
>>46109250
Oh, sorry, I think WW2.
>>46109250
>>46109272
Well too bad!
>>46109303
>>46109312
>>46109327
>>46109344
If you want dieselpunk, try looking up the 1930s-50s issues of Popular Mechanics. They had some weird ideas.
>>46109360
Also look up other magazine's ideas because that shit be whack yo
>>46109376
Case in point
>>46109272
Try looking up the Nazi wunderwaffen.
>>46109395
And whatever this thing was
>>46109436
Rolling pillboxes.
That's... actually not a terrible idea. Though I wonder how one builds something light enough for practical transport while sill having it be a bunker.
>>46107509
>you have to take the whole frame appart to change the tyre
>>46109466
Presumably with improved helicopters
It's the practicality of the WW2 aesthetic that draws me in, though. Is there a word for that? Preferably including the word "punk," so we can get the hip youth down with it?
>>46109466
Pretty sure if it's light enough for four guys to roll it it can't stop a bullet.
>>46109514
>Not shown: the horrific crash two seconds later when one helicopter moved 10 cm out of alignment.
>>46109552
Dieselpunk's the closest thing available. Unless you wanna sit down and right an essay on 'world warpunk' or something.
>>46109728
VC is a great example as long as you stay clear of raitas more moe shit
>>46109770
Wish the series didn't flop so hard. And I don't have high hopes for whatever the fuck kind of sequel/prequel game they're making now. Looks like some Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy shit.
>>46105218
is the projectile spinning around the wrong axis? Seems plenty orkish to me
>>46109466
Do what the military did in Afghanistan/Iraq and fill the bunker wall sections with sand/dirt. Maybe even just have the outer plates just be some sort of lightweight ceramic material or something.
The temporary wall/base thing works reasonably well enough to stop bullets and some small explosives.

Rocky Jupiter reminds me of Moab from Halo Jones, which was just that. The gravity fluctuation on it caused time to warp and quick sorties outside the gravity shielded habs could last months in relative time.

Essentially these films were labours of love by very skilled animation fanboys who were given money by investors dripping in cash due to the Japanese 'Miracle' economy of the 1980s.

It's part of Memories, a 3 pack anime movie. This one in particular is called Stinkbomb. He drank something and is a living chemical weapon but is too stupid to realize it and too lucky to die.
>>46111416
>Something quickly bashed together for clickbiat on a website isn't that well thought out.
What a shock.
There will never be a vehicle as metal as this.
>>46111327
I read that at a library when I was a kid and have been wondering about it ever since, thanks.
>>46111215
>"feel"
All the characters on the ground know, most of the time, is that there's a lot of strange things going on, that with really precise instruments you can tell the planet curves a little (so the world probably isn't infinite), and that there are places they absolutely need to stay away from. How does "naturalistic" sound? Focus less on how the Invisible Mountains were formed and more about how it feels to be stuck inside getting baked in the sun.
>>46103652
Oh, man, the guy who originally owned that truck got in SO MUCH TROUBLE with the Feds....
>>46113079
>>46102458
Really, that shit again? If you reason that achieving orbit is only just about possible, how do you explain us sending probes to other planets? Achieving escape velocity takes half again as much delta-V as reaching low-earth-orbit.
It's simple as fuck really: If you need more speed, use liquid-fuel engines instead of bottle rockets, and add more stages.
>>46105140
But there was a red light. Look closer.
Best land vehicle coming through.
>>46102317
What's that paint scheme for, deflecting laser beams?
>>46102458
>Also, a rocky Jupiter-sized planet? That's kind of insane. The gravity would be massive.
I remember a story by... I think it was Asimov, where humans were freaking out because they had discovered an advanced alien race, and the aliens immediately declared war on them.
Long story short, in the end it turned out they had nothing to worry about, because the aliens were from a planet with super heavy gravity, and couldn't even get into space.
>>46102458
>trapped on their world

As the Elon Musk expie in Seveneves said, some physics is nuclear physics.

IFV's nig. The armament is bigger than a 12.5 machine gun
>>46122160
None of them are dedicated fluid containers in the first place.
>>46111405
probably to keep Sammael's one mostly unique without converting

That thing was idiotic. I just wanted to blow up more tanks, maybe level up my lancers so they could do something from more than point-blank range, develop my tactical ability, but nope, minigames. At least I had my God Scouts.
>>46123333
>thing was idiotic
It made sense in context though. The entire point of it was to just lug a giant gun around and fire it, not actually fight on a battlefield.
>>46123717
Would have been much cooler as part of a combined unit, maybe on rails, maybe just some really big trucks, and they set up a mobile fortress wherever they want to fire it.
imo
>>46124416
Well it was part of a combined unit. You just kinda kill them all there. It's actually less retarded than things like Big Bertha.
>>46125879
I mean something that's not a castle-sized land train on fans.

No, actually it was the ROBOTS the humans sent to that world to try and broker peace.
Being so over engineered to compensate for the planets' conditions, the Aliens thought all humans were as powerful as their inadvertently super deadly machines.

would a half track like those work?
>>46142282
yup, as long as it has a 4x4 drive tran.
they actually work quite fine, but its just expensive. there are a few other designs.
one that works pretty much like a treadmill/dyno that the truck just drives on and locks.
Any movies/books/comic books that go into loving detail with their big trucks?
>>46142062
How difficult is it to steer those? Are they pretty much unusable without power steering?

What is that, a giant chainsaw? What the fuck does it do? Saw itself in half?
>>46151626
The "teeth" are actually scoops, used for moving the grain out of the big back thing and into a silo/wherever you want it.
It's the best design if you want constant, smooth dumping instead of a big pile like a dumptruck.
>>46151626
It's used to dig furrows in packed dirt.
>>46102349
Despite the fact it's cool there's a new Homeworld game, I can't help but think the developers limited themselves by picking Kharak as the setting. I mean, it's a whole planet that's a desert, and also a planet that is already predetermined to get burned to ash. So the stuff you can do with the story is limited, and the stuff you can do with the setting is limited and it's all a little disappointing to me, even the vehicles cause they just copy pasted Homeworld to a 2D framework.
I really don't get the love people have for carriers sometimes
>>46151801
It's a bit more complicated than that.
It was made by ex-Relic employees that worked on Homeworld. It wasn't originally going to be a Homeworld game because they didn't own the licence, but were going to make it Homeworld-esque and on a planet. Then one day Gearbox pulled up and told them to make it a Homeworld game and then everyone cheered and rubbed one out.
>>46107509
That bushpig cost as much as my first car, but I still want one super bad.
>>46151801
>>46151943
it was a pretty damn good game imo
>copy pasted Homeworld to a 2D framework
I liked that though. The desert environment is so vast and so hostile that each vehicle must be largely self-contained, and thus much more of a ship than a 'truck' or whatever. It follows that the military sand vessels would be divided into naval categories, etc
a-bumpity

I don't think he got in actual trouble, because he legally sold it to a legit autobuyer company. I think the people who actually got in trouble were the guys who sold it to ISIS to begin with.
But yeah, they still crawled up, down, in, and out of his ass for a long time while they made sure he had nothing to do with it.
>>46151626
Ditch-Witches (that thing) are used to dig drainage ditches, furrows, and assist in laying down pipe. They're really, really good at cutting a few feet deep in a straight line, and sometimes that's all you need to do.
>>46151626
>>46151698
It's a fucking trench digger you brainless mongoloids. This one's attached to a Ukranian military engineering vehicle, and is probably used to lay cable for communications and dig trench footings for fortifications.

Oh hey, Militarum Tempestus transport vehicles.
