You really don't want to know

Yes I do!
Anyway, how would the tank stay hovering when firing the rail-gun? I've never heard anything about it's recoil, so I'm still assuming it performs similarly to gunpowder weapons.

Quote from a book I was reading recently:
Villain: "Mwahaha!! You will never defeat me!!"
Protagonist: "Really? Me and my flying tank say otherwise..."

BWAHAHA.... what book was that?

Rubicon (clone wars novel), by Matthew Stover.
Mace Windu kicks ass in something like the south pacific, finds assorted non-jedi force users, one of which put all of their points in telekinesis and batshit crazy.
That tank wasn't supposed to be airborne, much less going after vulture driods at 8,000 feet.

Thanks... I will have to look it up. Haven't bought any Star Wars novels in almost a year now anyway (I think the last was Darth Bane: Rule of Two)

Start with Shatterpoint by the same guy- it's the one in wider circulation, and comes first in cannon,even if it is a darker book.
I LOVE his interpretation of Mace Windu as a complex and very depressed human, as opposed to everyone else's old grouch.

I have already read that

Yes! I have to admit, my favorite scene were in the bath-house at the beginning, where he tells the guy he can predict the future, and at the end when he and Nick leap out of the carrier:
Nick: "Don't tell me we're going to-"
*Mace yanks Both out into hundred-foot-fall,somehow lands without killing them*
Nick: "You should have warned me!"
Mace: "You told me not to tell you."
I like the idea that he has a sense of humor somewhere, deep, deep inside.
I found Rubicon at a used bookstore- I think it wasn't approved by the Lucas cannon, so it didn't get as much backing.

Yeah, I liked his dark humour there... altho he lost it quite quickly in the book.. At least I don't remember any funny remarks from later in the book.

No, he got super-serious pretty quickly.
Though, given the situation, can you blame him?
One thing I was bothered by thought the book- I live in Hawaii for three years, I've been in dense tropical forests, and I've been in the middle of grizzly-riddled super-dense taiga before too. Stover wrote about the jungle as though it were and impossible and severely hazardous landscape, something a Jedi would have been well-trained for...
WHY IN THE FORCE DIDN'T MACE JUST CLIMB THE TREES?!?! out of the way of the toxic gas, no large predators, soldiers never look up, there's probably fruit and eggs for food up there, and it would have been much easier to move across the land! OK, Gunships, but they would be easy to hear, and you only need to drop about 10 feet for cover...
maybe I'm missing something here...

Well, no, I can't blame him... it was pretty intense.
You have been in dense woods here... but you were never on Korun

Must be.
Then again, trying to apply and form of sense/logic to SW universe is a futile effort.

High Mobility Weapons Platform.
Looks like a Rail Gun for the main weapon, probably to keep from throwing the tank around with recoil.
Plus, it has an AP turret and another gun mounted on the front. It's like a land gunship. nice

Land gunship was exactly what I was going for... at least with the nose mounted sensor and gun array

Practice, mate. Just try to get away from presets as much as possible. Also, try and use parts in a role they're not supposed to fill (like using a handguard as a silencer or so).

yeah thx.i can't shade or blend very well. hardly ever get to use PMG tho. im grounded half the time (grades)and both of my parents hate DA (quoting my mom "it has deviant in the title! do you know what that means!?" whats so wrong with different?)so that means if i do manage to do something, i'll probably never upload it unless they're either gone or asleep. (im supposed to be doing reading plus right now.)

The boxy design almost makes it look like it could be an inter-war/early WW2 tank...except for the whole floating bit. It looks good.
