(Mercy's Reach) Vehicle Key Art (Patreon)

We're getting ever closer to having all the necessary details settled for producing the 3D models for Mercy's vehicle units. Still a ways off though since they are such intensive to design in both 2D and 3D, hopefully the coming MMF specific crowdfunding campaign (starting next month(?)) will prove to be successful. 

So what can be expected from the vehicle releases? Unexpectedly the "Scorpion" scissorcycle has been upgraded to carry a minigun or rocket pod attachment on the back, a good bonus for the extra support of 4 wheels, we'll see about a custom rider model, the original intent was to have it be a fast scout vehicle for the Stellus Ranger units, which might still be done. The APC has seen the most changes though, being upgraded from a tread vehicle to hover tech, which seems rather fair given the size, gravity manipulation tech is quite cumbersome and requires a decent sized machine for power and rotors. 

There's still 2 more, larger vehicles to cover for Mercy's fleet; the main battle tank and the Nadir mech (some 3x taller than the Castor). If the funding campaign works out, we'll get to see some alien vehicles also, priority is on the Centauri Behemoth, which is a counterpart to the Nadir, but we might also get to see a Centauri tank, if not a grotesque transport or something similar. The counter to the Scorpion scissorcycle is a mecha-animal rather than a conventional vehicle, so we'll see what comes of future designs, we may have some voting choices later on.

Fun stuff to look forward to, but in the meantime we'll be adding a new model to the catalog later this month. It'll be a hybrid game/pinup piece and the first venture into the expanded setting and characters external to the war between man and machine.
