Does anyone know the abilities of the Chariot light assault vehicle? All I know is that it was used as an IFV and sometimes a mobile command center.

No idea acutaly, everyone mentions them Zahn and AA are the ones who talk about them the most but Zahn does not provide much details, AA mentions they carry Concusion Missles and Star-Fighter Weaponry(Two Mobile Cannons)

So imagin an APC, Strap a missle Pod on the side, Double Cannons on the roof and you have a Chariort

Thats just speculation but we do know they are least carry cannons and missles though how and where is unclear

The Chariot LAV (according to EGVV) is a command speeder twelve meters long. It can move at one hundred kilometers per hour at up to eight meters in height. It had low cost per unit, which was its primary advantage, as its performance was quite weak.

It is protected with an armored canopy and layered armor plates to absorb low-power blasts, but it rarely entered combat directly. IT had a very large electronic warfare section, which provided protection against electromagnetic bursts and other disruptions, and its communications unit was able to scramble signals, making it almost impossible to intercept Chario communications and communiques. It had a short range laser cannon, but escort vehicles were usually expected to handle enemy troops. The weapon drops out beneath the main cabin and faces forward. It carries a crew of three, but an entire command staff can be crammed aboard, and at least four droids are assigned to the communications array. It is programmed with advanced battle-assistance programs, holographic tactical displays, and is designed to facilitate the movements and actions of over a dozen combat unites while providing a datafeed to central military command. Thrawn upgraded the system with a more powerful swivel gun. He also (speculative) probably added the missile launcher. Alternatively, the AA Chariot may have been a different model than the one in EG.

The Missle Launcher was mentioned on a Storm-Trooper Vessel on Courscant, Prehaps the Hard-points are Modular?
And Ossus are you ever going to get an Avatar?

I've been thinking about an avatar, recently. What kind do you think I should get? I really like Sir Nitrams, GAT's, and Lusankya's (

), but I really can't find an original one that I really like. Which other people's are pretty good, so I can figure out what kind of avatar to get?

Actually, a modular missile launcher would make sense, given that the LAV seems to be at least reasonably modifiable. Perhaps it is just bolted on to the top of the thing (or something).

www.google.com

Just run and search for what you want under the image tab, I've gotten most of my avatar through that

Normaly they don't start out ready for example this one and my currant Avatar

To big and tall so I cut it down with some paintshop editing to its presant acceptable size

Though you occisonal find a nice picutre that you just can't fix for example

First the image Quality is not the best second to cut it down to size cuts out way to much

So the Chariot as it is currently used is little more than an armored staff car. Still, it seems to outperform its Federation counterpart in all respects, even those which have nothing to do with combat. If anyone wishes to discuss Chariot vs dunebuggy (I, personally, don't see the need), I recommend starting a new topic in the other forum.
