mmmeee0, It's an awesome concept, but do you need to make it so hard to read?
No I merely wanted to make it memorable.

Well, it's certainly that. Are you going to make a third Death-ball design as well?No I merely wanted to make it memorable.
Ohmygosh, proelite, can I like, totally use that picture for an SW game that I'm playing? That is damn cool. And good. Did you draw it yourself?

I suggest Exploding Superballs.
How can I not remember the Massive C4 and Flamethrower Boulder of Death! It was awesome.You remember my other Death-ball! Can't believe it.
Edited a bit of my Mk. 171 Mobile Field Base/Walker Artillery Platform. Also added a cutaway showing the compartments.
I'm still looking for suggestions for the thing's dry (i.e. unloaded) weight. It's about the size of a current US Navy Frigate, uses lightweight composites, and as you can tell by the green sections has significant cargo space that would be empty unless in combat.
And keep in mind, it's about a couple thousand years into the future. Materials science is a lot further ahead, and they probably have superstrong yet lightweight materials for structure and armour. It's roughly 2/3 as long as a British Type 21 frigate, though probably twice as bulky due to cargo space, SRBM bays, and the motor systems for the legs; though it would lack the crew space and other things necessary for a sea ship, since it's a land vehicle. And, as said, with better construction materials it can be much lighter while still being larger.I would say about 6-8,000 tons if it is completely dry (i.e, just came out of the factory). In combat? With all the missiles and ammo and other provisions? I wouldn't be surprised to see the weight double. Fully loaded, I'd say it's fast approaching 20,000 tons.
...they probably have superstrong yet lightweight materials for structure...
Well, for armour I was thinking of ceramic composites like boron carbide or boron nitride, both of which are very strong and can absorb heat like a pro, yet are also a helluva lot lighter in weight than steel or depleted uranium.I don't know about armor, though.

So, say, 3000 tons dry, 8000 tons combat ready, and 12000 tons fully loaded?

I measured before. It's about 170 meters long, 50 meters high.Are you sure you've got it scaled up right, though? It looks a lot larger than a frigate; like, a good 1/4-1/3 longer.
Possibly fuel for the vehicles carried. Or fuel for the lift fans.What fuel tanks?!
Now I'm thinking of scrapping the legs and just making it a hovering land battleship (land cruiser?).
Probably a Combination of an Air cushion and Anti-gravity system. Still, it look pretty cool, although personally I'd go for a less top heavy look, with a boxier rear end or something more like what you'd see on an LPH or LPD.How would you do that? When I asked you earlier you said they didn't have antigravity technology on the same level of Star Wars's end-all-be-all stuff, and you can't seriously be suggesting to propel that thing on an air cushion?
