"The DIY Surgeon" would be more appropriate.
will do ^_^

I specifically didn't mention the beach quills as they are, well unstoppable. Partially because unless the Groveback itself turns away and walks the other way, you can't really 'protect' it.
Also beach quills can kill of other large creatures too, it's just that for the larger colonies Grovebacks tend to be the main source of food.

Anyways, what about another tech faction with an Enclave-style twist to it? Where the Khans want to fly into the sun, and the AA wants to imprive life on Rigel-3, this group would want to fix the gravity issues and reestablish contact with Earth. They'd be nationalistic, and drone on with propaganda about Asiatic values and morals, and walk around in military style uniforms and fancy suits of armor, securing advanced technology and weapons and developing their own stuff. They'd be authoritarian, and have a military-structured society with no voting or corporate power, and would use their own vehicles to fly and drive around and deploy based and camps to operate from.
Alternatively, it could be a group with the same values, but without the technology. They'd run around in patchwork vehicles and use salvaged weapons, being made up of common people who want to fight the corporations and other major groups and establish order, maybe with subgroups of "Rangers" and gunslingers who act as peacekeepers and lawmen? They'd still talk about traditional values and morals and create propaganda to fight with.

So at the start of the IC, I've been thinking about our modes of transport.
I've debated between a military grade truck or an armored bus with two motorcycles used as scouts.
here are some pics: this, that.
Given what I could read, Carly (looked good so far, but I'm not done); Lil'Bit could have been given to you by Sev since Eira parted ways. Good tie in for things to come down the line...
It also gives us a mixture of vehicles that are not too 'weaponized' and players can switch around for interaction and plot purposes.
I'm open to suggestions for other vehicles, but I'll make it clear if its just dotted with weapons it won't fly.
Anyway, back later!

You know the Elephants from Halo? What about something similar to those in concept?
Ouh, yeah. That would be nice for traversing the shitty terrain.
But I mean, where's the speed? Where's the style?
I present to you my idea. It could hold as many people as we'd have, it is open-topped and well-equipped to fend off bandits and local hostile fauna, it's fast and easily able to traverse shitty and off-road terrain, especially if we ahve teh suspension jacked up and put some future-space-version of Toyo Open Country AT2 tires (These eighty pound beasts [I work at a tire warehouse, familiar with these things.]), and it is quite durable.

I'm assuming the truck would be bigger than the pickups that we have on Earth, just based on what it would have to do on Rigel-3. I'd estimate that the back would easily hold up to a dozen people with enough personal space that people could lie back. Personal preference aside, I think speed would be more important than personal space, imo.
Alternatively, we could have something akin to the Bandit Technical from Borderlands 2, again, jacked up and enlarged.

Second one sounds better. Running into them would prove... deliciously disastrous, given the Vagabond lifestyle.

Yeah....but I'm not a fan of groups who like equality....eh.
And most of the world is Asiatic, right?
