Felarya Land Vehicles

I have browsed through the wiki again for vehicles, and I havent reall seen a mention about vehicles for ground transportation in Felarya. While its obvious that its not always the smart idea to travel that way, it makes a good question to put up for discussion.

I actually got a work in progress idea that involves a lot of land vehicles. It's based around vehicles, possibly even more than the jetbikes. (This conception of this idea predates the jetbikes).

I just need to write it all up... Damn there's a lot.

took this from the wiki:

Felarya Express

The Felarya Express is a human-run company providing express flights through Felarya. It operates a fleet of enclosed airships, which can hover and travel at relatively high speeds a short distance above the ground. The company is not based on Felarya; its headquarters are located on a safe world populated by humans.Felarya Express ships typically travel through the jungle between the dimensional gate at Ur-Sagol, and the one at Negav City; thus Felarya is not so much a destination as a transit area. While Felarya Express ships stop off at both Ur-Sagol and Negav City, their primary purpose is to ferry travellers from one world to another, via the Felaryan dimensional gates. A successful flight therefore means entering Felarya via one of the gates, stopping briefly at each of the two cities, and leaving via the other gate.

Felarya Express is well-known to Felaryan predators who live on or near its flight path. Its ships are sturdy and fairly well armed, but predators have been known to snare them and smash them open in some way or another, to reveal a feast of tasty humans inside. The naga Jissy is known to refer to these ships as “fast food”.The company guarantees to its passengers a 25% survival rate during the journey through Felarya, or a refund to the families of the deceased if a higher proportion of them perish. A shotgun is placed under each seat, for insurance purposes, since such weapons are pretty useless against most Felaryan predators. Each ship has a crew of two, and can seat up to fifty-four passengers, although ships often fly more than half-empty. A ship’s interior consists of a crew cockpit and a large passenger area, with rows of seats. One of the company’s most experienced captains is Pal Sebrit, who operates a battered ship designated flight FE-013. His current pilot and vice-captain is Manda Kugi, whose predecessor, Lindsy, was unfortunately eaten by a fairy. Flight 013 connects the technologically advanced colony of New Symphonia to the mostly agricultural port of Askimboon on the Tahanja world, via Felarya.

other then that It hasnt been written, though i guess you can also count Boats and Mechs as transportation that is used

thats air transportation, not land transportation. And what kind of mechs are you suggesting?

come to think about it I didn't see to many ground vehicles maybe some new vehicles(like tanks)could one day come to Felarya

sorry, didn't read the title, and I know that a few people of characters that use mechs; as in single person combat ones are the only ones I've heard of .

But I would guess that a good vehicle would resemble something like a jeep, but overhauled to the extreme.
Or maybe Felarya could have a railroad.

A tank would be good only if it had speed an armament; an APC I think would be a great.

Actually the Felarya Express is a hovercraft.
That article needs updating and rephrasing to be more clear.

A railroad.... I can see it now.... a naga lying on the track with her mouth wide open as the train drives right into her throat....

If a road on Felarya dosent work, I have high doubts a railroad would work too (the environment dosent agree with our earth transportation im afraid, but we tried at least)

So we don't have Airships??? aww man, their sooo cool!

and yeah, the train thing was a joke, unless it was underground...hmm

Subway?

Just wait until I get my idea typed up, you'll see how ground vehicles can be practical in Felarya.

Just Imagine speding throught the Felarya Jungle in one of those. All terrain with blades that cut through plants like a hot knife through butter... what a rush!

While im not AJ, that thing looks like it could work in the Arscalian Mines (just a thought, looks good)

Well I didn't build her to be a mining vehical...

No, the Chick Jumper is a Jungle Runner, and boy can she run!

Designed to move more like an Animal then a machine, this cargo walker is capable of incredible feats of acrobatics as it navigates the gigantic forest of Felarya.
Armed only with two large twin Vibro-blades, the Chick Jumper relies more on agility to stay ahead of its foes, augmented by titanium gripping claws and two forward power harpoons, as well as a conventional winch mounted on the back end.

So its kinda like an AT-RT from the clone wars, except its bigger.... is that what you mean?

Well... I don't think AR-RT's are capable of climbing trees... or carrying cargo for that matter...

ok, what are its measurements, where does it store cargo and how much can it cary, and how fast can it go

Well it's a bit difficult to say exactly, since it was built with a Lego Mini-figure in the cockpit...
But I'd say that its fuselage would have similar dimensions to a small, single engine plane, and probably the same cargo capacity as one.
The Chick Jumper stores its cargo behind its pilot, in the hollow rear section of the main body.

And while I'm probably not the best at guessing a theoretical machine's max speed... I'll ballpark it and say 100/150 miles per hour.
