PaverGuard Striders

Paverguard creates not only the most popular series of battlesuits in the xenospiral edge of colonized space, but heavier walkers as well. While their battle-suits keep you safe, their Striders allow you to exterminate the vermin that threaten your home!

Earlier, I wrote a post detailing a bunch of power-suits for use in a TL10 frontier setting with hostile alien beasts. In this post, I will be building the next step: TL10 combat walkers. These will be built using the method described in Walkers and Power Armor. 

Paverguard's strider series are quite a bit lighter than true mecha, but are still quite heavy and have cockpits rather than being mere suits, providing a huge strength boost and heavy armor. At weights below 3,000 lbs or so, Paverguard recommends its signature battlesuit line. (That's the natural point at which this armor method begins to be more effective than the battlesuit formula)

Striders are full vehicles, complete with speed and handling statistics.

Name	ST	Move	DR	Hnd/Stb	LWt.	Load	SM	Cost
PG Strider-3,000	56	10	297/220	+4/+3	3000 lbs	300 lbs	+3	$154,000
PG Strider-4,000	60	10	352/260	+4/+3	4000 lbs	300 lbs	+3	$210,000
PG Strider-5,000	64	10	338/250	+4/+3	5000 lbs	500 lbs	+3	$256,000
PG Strider-6,000	67	10	395/292	+4/+3	6000 lbs	500 lbs	+3	$313,000
PG Strider-7,000	70	10	402/297	+4/+3	7000 lbs	500 lbs	+3	$369,000
PG Strider-8,000	73	10	464/343	+4/+3	8000 lbs	500 lbs	+4	$425,000
PG Strider-10,000	79	10	473/349	+4/+3	10,000 lbs	500 lbs	+4	$538,000

The numbers for PaverGuard Striders are just the weight of the Walker, for ease of remembrance. We could halve these numbers if the society is metric, and we could even change the pounds into tons and sell a PG Strider-2 rather than a PG Strider-4000.

As I've said before, TL 10 is kind of the sweet spot for this sort of aesthetic, so this is going to be my go-to resource for combat walkers.

I hope you find this armor useful!
