These bikes could provide ideal suppressing fire platforms if their guns can be adequately controlled, especially from a mostly stationary position. The X1 has two shields, so twice the staying power of the Ursa, and a single S1 on the battlefield can offer a huge advantage since for the most part we carry stuff much smaller. if you're thinking of the railgun, note that riding one of these the railgun would weigh nothing and generate no exhaustion. I watched a vid yesterday with an hours' long terrestrial assault thinking the whole time they needed a grav bike for its shields and weapons.
If you move the power triangle on a Nox to top dead center, will that limit the thrusters sufficient for precision targeting as a stationary platform, while reinforcing weapons and shields?
I still want to know whether the Nox will fit in a Vanguard.
