Thank you for taking the time to submit and vote. In case you missed our initial Tumbril Nova Q&A, you can find it here.\n\nPlease note that the Tumbril Nova is still a concept and the answers to these questions are subject to change based on internal balancing and community feedback.\n\nAlso, special thanks to Lead Technical Designer John Crewe for his help in answering your questions.\n\n\n\nHow does the driver see out of it? Does it have thermal\/night vision?\nThe driver, along with all seats, has the ability to view through an external camera like the Super Hornet gunner. In addition to this there, is an armored flap that can slide open on the front of the vehicle to provide a natural view out, protected by armored glass.\n\n\nHow effective are EMPs against the Nova Tank?\nWhile it is somewhat hardened against EMP strikes with its military grade components, a big enough EMP weapon will cause the same shutdowns as with our ships.\n\n\nWhat will the fuel range on the Nova be like?\nThe Nova has an average range for its type, it is heavy and is unable to travel huge distances like dedicated exploration vehicles.\n\n\nWhy should I have a battle tank if nearly no ship can transport it into combat?\nGround vehicles can already be spawned planet-side, and a large proportion of ground vehicles usually never leave the planet they were spawned on originally.\n\n\nCan the Nova realistically hold its own against ships like the Sabre and Hornet?\nThe missiles and laser repeaters on the Nova are realistically the best defense against ships attacking it, as the main cannon does not have the speed or articulation to hit fast moving targets. When considering damage output, those weapons might be enough to deter a dedicated fighter like the ones mentioned but not for long. Using modern day scenarios as an example, the best use of tanks is with combined forces against an unprepared enemy or lower tier fighter it should be able to hold its own easily.\n\n\nIs the Tumbril Nova amphibious?\nThe Nova was not designed to be amphibious in any way.\n\n\nHow high vertically can I aim the turret?\nThe current range on vertical motion on the main turret weapon is -10 to +35 degrees, however as with all assets this is subject to change during development. The Laser repeaters on the turret can aim much higher.\n\n\n\n\n\nCan the tank be used to provide indirect artillery fire?\nThe Nova was not designed to do this with the current turret weaponry but it is possible to a limited extent..\n\n\nWhat anti-ship capabilities does it have?\nAs described above, the primary anti-ship capabilities are the missiles and laser repeaters on the turret.","de_DE":"F&A: Tumbril Nova - Teil 2\n\nGr\u00fc\u00dfe B\u00fcrger,\n\nNachfolgend finden Sie Antworten auf die am h\u00e4ufigsten gestellten Fragen in unserem Tumbril Nova Q&A Thread, der letzte Woche auf Spectrum ver\u00f6ffentlicht wurde. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit nehmen, sich zu beteiligen und abzustimmen. Falls Sie unsere erste Tumbril Nova Q&A verpasst haben, finden Sie sie hier.\n\nBitte beachten Sie, dass die Tumbril Nova noch ein Konzept ist und die Antworten auf diese Fragen auf der Grundlage von internem Ausgleich und Community-Feedback ge\u00e4ndert werden k\u00f6nnen.\n\nEin besonderer Dank gilt auch dem leitenden technischen Designer John Crewe f\u00fcr seine Hilfe bei der Beantwortung Ihrer Fragen.\n\n\n\nWie sieht der Fahrer das aus? Hat es W\u00e4rme-\/Nachtsicht?\nDer Fahrer, zusammen mit allen Sitzen, hat die M\u00f6glichkeit, durch eine externe Kamera wie den Super Hornet Sch\u00fctzen zu sehen. Dar\u00fcber hinaus gibt es eine gepanzerte Klappe, die sich an der Vorderseite des Fahrzeugs \u00f6ffnen l\u00e4sst, um eine nat\u00fcrliche Sicht nach drau\u00dfen zu erm\u00f6glichen, gesch\u00fctzt durch Panzerglas.\n\n\nWie effektiv sind EMPs gegen den Nova Tank?\nW\u00e4hrend es mit seinen milit\u00e4rischen Komponenten etwas gegen EMP-Schl\u00e4ge verh\u00e4rtet ist, wird eine ausreichend gro\u00dfe EMP-Waffe die gleichen Abschaltungen wie bei unseren Schiffen verursachen.\n\n\nWie wird der Kraftstoffbereich auf der Nova aussehen?\nDie Nova hat eine durchschnittliche Reichweite f\u00fcr ihren Typ, ist schwer und kann keine gro\u00dfen Entfernungen zur\u00fccklegen wie spezielle Erkundungsfahrzeuge.\n\n\nWarum sollte ich einen Kampfpanzer haben, wenn fast kein Schiff ihn in den Kampf transportieren kann?\nBodenfahrzeuge k\u00f6nnen bereits planetseitig gelaicht werden, und ein gro\u00dfer Teil der Bodenfahrzeuge verl\u00e4sst normalerweise nie den Planeten, auf dem sie urspr\u00fcnglich gelaicht wurden.\n\n\nKann sich die Nova realistisch gegen Schiffe wie die Sabre und Hornet behaupten?\nDie Raketen und Laserrepeater der Nova sind realistischerweise die beste Verteidigung gegen Schiffe, die sie angreifen, da die Hauptkanone nicht die Geschwindigkeit oder die Artikulation hat, um schnell bewegte Ziele zu treffen. Bei der Betrachtung der Schadensausbeute k\u00f6nnten diese Waffen ausreichen, um einen engagierten K\u00e4mpfer wie die genannten abzuschrecken, aber nicht lange. Am Beispiel moderner Szenarien ist der beste Einsatz von Panzern mit vereinten Kr\u00e4ften gegen einen unvorbereiteten Feind oder einen J\u00e4ger der unteren Klasse, der sich leicht behaupten kann.\n\n\nIst der Tumbril Nova amphibisch?\nDie Nova war in keiner Weise amphibisch konzipiert.\n\n\nWie hoch kann ich den Turm vertikal ausrichten?\nDer aktuelle Bereich der vertikalen Bewegung auf der Hauptturmwaffe betr\u00e4gt -10 bis +35 Grad, jedoch kann sich dies, wie bei allen Anlagen auch, w\u00e4hrend der Entwicklung \u00e4ndern. Die Laserrepeater auf dem Turm k\u00f6nnen viel h\u00f6her zielen.\n\n\n\n\nKann der Panzer zur Erzeugung von indirektem Artilleriefeuer verwendet werden?\nDie Nova wurde nicht daf\u00fcr entworfen, dies mit den aktuellen Turmwaffen zu tun, aber es ist in begrenztem Umfang m\u00f6glich....\n\n\nWelche Anti-Versandfunktionen hat es?\nWie vorstehend beschrieben, sind die prim\u00e4ren Anti-Schiff-F\u00e4higkeiten die Raketen und Laser-Repeater am Turm.","zh_CN":"Q&A: Tumbril Nova \u2013 Part 2\n\nGreetings Citizens,\n\nBelow are answers to the most voted questions in our Tumbril Nova Q&A thread posted last week on Spectrum.
