Ultima 2037 - RPG Station Wagon

Station Wagon, Xhvy Ch., Hvy Sus., Super PP, driver, 7 passengers, 4 PR tires, 2 linked RL front, VMG in turret, Hi-Res comp., 10 pt. WG back; 7 Cargo Spaces = 1050 lbs. 107 pts. Armor: F25 R20 L20 B20 T15 U7; Acc. 5, HC 3; 5500 lbs., $19,890.

  • Ultima II - remove VMG, WG & WH; add Laser + 3 pts. armor; $25,000
  • Ultima III - remove 1 passenger, add Ramplate + 2 pts. armor, 5505 lbs. $20,680
  • Ultima IV - II & III together, 5505 lbs., $25,790
  • Ultima V - FP armor on IV; $29,080

Design notes - Even for an RPG entry, this is pretty cruddy. Under-armored. One possible tweak is to add an IFE, replace VMG with RL, add 2 TL & LGL to all rockets and then add more armor.

Name notes - Original name was "Ultimo."  I changed it to Ultima, and the options, to fit the great game Ultima. The names of the original updates were, in order, Ultimo II, Ultimo III, Ultimo Deluxe, Super Ultimo Deluxe, Super Macho Goop Ultimo.
