TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
* Classification: Tank
* Role: Assault tank
* Size: Average
* Weight: Very Heavy
* Minimum Crew: 1 (Driver)
* Optimal Crew: 5:
Driver, Communications, Turret, Reflection Emitter shield and Light, Navigation
* Propulsion:
Repulsor lift
Reflection Emitter installed to reach greater heights
* Speed: Slow
* Maneuverability:
Low
* Armaments: High
4x Heavy Laser cannons, two aligned vertically on each side of the turret. Turret controls horizontal aiming, laser cannons can swivel vertically with around 35 degree control. Designed to penetrate enemy vehicles, artillery, and defenses. Can be fired independently, all at once, or function almost as repeating cannons.
Reflection Emitter shielding: A front Reflection shield emitter attached to turret that extends approximately 16 meters ahead and around 12 meters to the sides. This can be used to push through enemies by essentially shoving and ripping them apart as it moves. It can also be used to break through terrain if necessary.
Large Search Light on top can be turned to strobe or flash, causing light strong enough to completely prevent actually seeing in its direction for anything closer then around 40 meters, or to disrupt enemy visuals whether from the surprise or pain of it.
* Defenses: High
Reflection Emitter: Turret Reflection emitter gives considerable defense against any material attacks, as it typically tears through or repels any physical attacks. Or may detonate missiles early causing the blast to be less powerful.
Thick Duraplast and durasteel armor
Foreward mounted Shield Generator helps protect the front of the ship from more energy based weaponry.
Temperature regulation system built into the walls allows it to handle greater ranges in temperatures, including helping it last longer against heat based attacks.
Environmentally sealed to keep out gasses, liquids, and even radiation, while able to supply oxygen when it can’t be filtered in.
* Passenger Capacity:
Six
* Cargo Capacity: Small

Foreward mounted shield generator help protect the front and some of the side of the tank.
Thick Duraplast armor designed to withstand most heavy firepower.
Temperature regulation system built into the walls allows it to handle greater ranges in temperatures, including helping it last longer against heat based attacks.
Environmentally sealed to keep out gasses, liquids, and even radiation. While being able to provide oxygen when it can’t be filtered in.
Strengths:
The Front Line: The FLT’s are an excellent multipurpose tank. While slow for their size, the heavy armor and firepower makes them an excellent attacking force, especially when used in numbers. The FLT’s Turret mounted Reflection Emitters were especially designed so they could be lined up at the front of the force, deflecting and destroying most material or material carried firepower, while the fore-ward shields and heavy armoring take care of the rest.
Terrain: The tanks are environmentally sealed and controlled with considerable oxygen supply allowing it to be taken to almost any planet. Additionally, when the Repulsor Lifts are incapable of lifting it, they can activate the Reflection Emitters underneath designed to lift the machine (though it would destroy most underneath it starting up) allowing it to lift around 18 meters into the air, which can assist considerably in where it can travel.
Weaknesses:
-Slow: Due to the considerable weight and design of stability over maneuverability, the tanks are rather slow to move and change directions even for similarly sized tanks. So while they may be able to eventually make it to a destination, retreating is far more difficult as their slowness means most vehicles or troops could eventually overtake them even with a head start.
-Heavy weaponry over anti-personnel: While the Laser cannons can be aimed at infantry, and the Reflection Emitter serves as a good way to keep them away. It doesn’t have any truly efficient ways of dealing with large groups of smaller faster enemies. Using it against infantry would generally be considered overkill, but also an inefficient use of them. They are also not as accurate, and meant to attack bigger targets.
DESCRIPTION
The Front Liner Tank was originally deemed unnecessary, as older models could preform many of the same actions. However, with the creation of the Reflection Emitters, their design was reconsidered. As the Front Liners would then be capable of moving over almost any terrain, water, hills, trees, if it needed to get over something it could be raised to rather considerable heights.
The tanks were mostly very good for jack of all trades, but were designed to be used in groups, and particularly on the attacking side. As the Reflection emitter was only on the turret, and the shield generator only protected the front. This results in more possible weak points, though the armor could still protect it from most threats.
Additionally, due to the very thick and armor designed hull, the Front Liner Tank can’t carry very many people or equipment.
