jedion357 July 22, 2012 - 7:39pm | Yeah pretty close to game that was. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
rattraveller July 23, 2012 - 7:15am | So who is going to get one and test drive it for us? Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
Shadow Shack July 23, 2012 - 7:58pm | I'll take it for a whirl, but someone else will have to flip the bill. BMW (who makes the boxer engine in that contraption) offers test rides often, it'd be nice if this manufacturer did the same. |

jedion357 August 20, 2012 - 6:39pm | Thats cool, sad that they're not interested in marketing man versions but want to waste more time developing the robotic version. seriously cool that its mechanical not electronic on the stablization and uses the pilot's intuitive balancing motions. Of course that takes us one step closer to the hover equipped robot from the canon AD rules as well. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Come in from a ship and release small rockets or something and get away quick. It is not a good city or jungle platform, but it would work in other environments. |
Shadow Shack August 21, 2012 - 1:39am | Feh, I still like the black BMW based model in the OP. But the applications list cracks me up...
Yeah, let me know how well all that works out WHEN THERE'S ONLY ONE SEAT!!!! |
