Design challenges :
Tank
The BKAF (Blood Keep armed forces ) has requested you to design a (MCT) multipurpose command  tank in which would be designated as "Andormore" in honor to an experienced veteran militia who has turned into an advisor after reforming our army and bringing pride to our nation .
Considerations:
Decent Endurance
Mandatory (Tank chassis)
AA defense
AT defense
Infantry defense
Roles :
Command and tactical analyzer
Assault and offensive
Lead

I'm not sure what endurance for Ground Units is. Never the less, this can be only be completed with a Ultra-Heavy Vehicle with HQ, AA, AV, and HCAP or CAP. Not much to think about or much diversity. Do Titans fit the criteria?

Andormore MCT
Transport Size (tons) 594     Cost 2,441.28     Armour 108     Hit Points 432
Annual Maintenance Cost 305     Resupply Cost 90
Headquarters:    Capacity 1,000,000
Heavy Anti-Aircraft:      Shots 1      Penetration 45      Damage 90      AA Value 16
Heavy Anti-Vehicle:      Shots 1      Penetration 90      Damage 90
Heavy Crew-Served Anti-Personnel:      Shots 6      Penetration 22      Damage 15

I gave the vehicle 1,000,000 capacity because its already a Ultra Heavy Vehicle. I didn't touch "Avoid Combat." Normally you would want your HQ to have the "Avoid Combat" check box ticked. But this "tank" is big.

[/quote]Good now with this design insert me 3 variants :
I) ER : Extended Range
II) Optimized design cost (with same requirements) Reference : BP
III) Early Transnewtonian tech : Nuclear Engine , early laser , early railgun etc

Aright, 1st the ER
It loses about 20kkps but gains about 70 billion km range, and 4 months longer deployments. It is otherwise the same

For optimised build cost; what build cost do you want? I'm not sure on that one.

Now on to the Early Tech Variant

It is obviously much worse but, still useful, perhaps?

Challenge :
You will give a the designation for a first generation vessel that will serve the backbone of the Thinkea Colective interests.  The TCN or Thinkea Colective Navy wants a first generation exploration vessel that can survey an exploration for our homesystem .  It would avise a 1483 ton vessel under the model designation of QL-MK1-GEN1 and it would serve as a staging ground for the TCEC or Thinkea Collective Exploration Command for exploration.  The technology will use are EARLY TRANSNEWTONIAN TECH .  Our mission for the inteted range is 4,50 AU or 673 million of km as Maximum or minimum of 1,3 AU or 194,48 million of km .  This is the project SS Initiave or  Stellar Survey Initiative .  The name will be Vanguard as the name.  This nomenclaure QL-MK1-GEN1 is the designation of the model .
