Hi, I am running a Shadowrun game set in a Space Warzone but am desperately trying to determine the stats\armour for Light Armour vehicles, APC's and Tanks. With the space stuff I am also trying to set ships for the setting (the space bit is sort of Babylon 5 technology level) but I am less concerned about that,

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I found a site that includes Shadowrun vehicles but the stats don't make sense to me (I don't know which version of Shadowrun was used so cannot convert), an example is below:-

Heavy Tank
Handling: 4/4
Speed: 90
Accel: 8
Body: 12
Armour: 40
Auto:2
Sensor: 8
Seating: 2+4b

Sounds like 3rd or 4th to me. In fifth Speed is simplified to a number that exponentiates to m/CT. As for Body and Armor, those numbers sound about right for a heavy tank, in 5th as well. Though I'd suspect it to be made more like 18/36.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

Try to find Ares Roadmaster, which is IMO close to basic APC. go on with that

Roadmaster is an armored van, like the ones delivering cash to banks etc.

Splintered State has stats for a Citymaster, which is more like an APC.

Perfect. I would have poited him there, if i haven't missed that. Citymaster is classic.

For an actual tank use the stuff from euro war book thing or any of the miltech spec books(these are not 5e compatable but if the company making shadowrun books has any sence left in them they convert all the vechicals) i recomend using those as a base and tweaking as needed. for an apc yea road master or the m113 apc(cant remember the book its prob miltech spec.)
