First image of the space motorcycle, the Nox

I think this is a good way to stop you floating out of the seat in Zero-G.

Remember this thing was originally designed by a different species for a different species - the Xi-An may never sit up ever, their physiology may bias squatting or laying incumbent like this.

You want earthling comfort, buy a bike designed by an earthling.

That's a damn sweet ride!

 

[Crichten]

Why does my money bounce off my screen I find this frustrating!

I WANT!!!11 This is the only way I'm gonna be allowed a motorbike...

 

[chendal220]

only 1 seat, but better shield and weapons and maneuverability...that´s what i think because Drake is absolutely low Level manufacturer they are always saying.
And Xian Technology should be much better and that should be "felt" in the verse

 

[DarthMunkee]

This thing looks like it's going to be fast. Like we are going to have something new to race.

How much did the Dragonfly cost at release?

 

[Kenlee]

It's alien AND it's good looking, way better than the Dragonfly imo.

I happen to have 100$ store credit lying around. I don't need stats, i'm getting two of those sons of bitches.

35 :)

I would not be surprised if it had no shield nor weapons. It fits in much less space and unless you are planning to fight from a bike, this may be a smarter ride. You might fit a pair of these in a Hoplite. Might even fit in a Warden, Harbinger or Sentinel.

For the lone explorer, this would be great in a Reliant Sen.

 

[Han Burgundy]

I feel that this thing is going to be treated like a luxury vehicle with niche advantages. I expect little to no weaponry, minimal shields, and no cargo space. For those wishing to use it in a tactical capacity, it can be a good stealthy (Small cross-section, small/no shields, small engine) rapid delivery/escape vehicle. For everyone else: Canyon racing.

 

[Shadow Reaper]

Yeah, I can see heading out alone with one in the back of a Sen and a sniper rifle on your back. I'm diggin' it more than the two seater.

I'm digging the Lone Sniper vibe. The Nox is exactly how I'd want to do it too. Take a shot, move several KM, take another shot. Good stuff. My dragonfly has MUCH to fear today....

There was a news item up today that the sniper record was just broken by an American, I believe fighting ISIS in Syria. Took out a fighter with a 2-mile shot. Never been done before, despite what claims you might have heard--is an international record.

Now picture that kind of support for your terrestrial martial excursions from a shoulder mounted railgun. . .

The Nox might even fit in an Aurora or a 315P.

 

[Crichten]

AS this cost a fiver more than the Dragonfly, is there likely to be some shinies included with it to account for that extra cost?

Factor in alien tax.

Likely faster and much more agile. It's a one seater and doubtful you get the Dfly's saddlebags, and many seem to be speculating no guns. I kind of suspect the comparrison to go kind of like this: Nox will be to the Dragonfly sort of what the Khartu is to the Cutlass.

Also, just speculating, the price may be somewhat lower because the last several concept sales have been very expensive.

That's all the reason people are stocking on them

I read it was a Canadian that broke the sniper record today. It was something like 2.2 miles.

Canadian. ;) 3540m.

Yeah, exactly this. Fucking nuts. 3 of the top 5 world record kills are held by Canadians. This most recent dude is from JTF2.

So what you are saying is not all Canadians are nice or does he apologize after firing the shot?

I can see it now he is sitting up on his perch humming 'O Canada and then bang. Then you hear him say "Sorry bout that".

Always an apology of course. And the bullets are engraved with a "sorry" as well.
