Rugged Tread Upgrade

Armory » Ship Gear » Robotics » Rugged Tread Upgrade

The Rugged Tread Upgrade replaces both your robotic arms in favor of protected full-drive steerable treads, utilizing your rear electromagnetic clamps as skids, so you have some degree of maneuverability on flat (or not so flat) terrain under gravity. Useful for if flying is considered dangerous, like in unusual situations where the native fauna is exceedingly territorial only when you're actually in midair, which is admittedly not likely to ever happen. It still could come in handy for getting around in tight spaces without worrying about how maneuverable you are.

Creds: 2000

Ammo: One tread on each side.

Requirements: Requires and removes both front robotic arms

Rolls: None

Additional Details

They roll
They steer
They even swivel!
It's tank treads on a spaceship, what more could you want
Seriously
While on the ground, you don't do rolls for maneuverability - everything just works
You are also invulnerable to anti-air fire from ground turrets (only while on the ground, of course)
Treads are attached with adjustable hydraulic suspension; you can hit targets in the air
