Magrider

The Magrider is the Vanu Sovereignty's medium battle tank (MBT). Unique because of its non-tracked drive, the Magrider floats above the ground, enabling the vehicle to travel over water and strafe. It can be agile even when traversing rough terrain. The Magrider is the fastest of all MBTs, with a top speed of 67-68kph. [This speed is achived by driving the vehicle at an angle while strafing and moving forward.]

The primary weapon of the Magrider is the heavy rail beam. Capable of direct line-of-sight fire, it is an (almost) pinpoint accurate weapon. The gun has very little splash damage, and requires multiple hits to kill a reasonably armored trooper. It is also the weakest gun of the MBTs, but the long range of the gun means that the Magrider can engage enemies before they can respond. The Magrider is also the only MBT armed with a driver weapon, the pulsed particle accelerator. The Magrider may NOT be driven while wearing the Reinforced Exo-Suit.

The Magrider requires a Technology Plant lattice link or Sanctuary vehicle pad in order to be purchasable.
