Description
If you're looking to take a drug fueled haze in search of the Galactic Dream, then this car is for you. Loaded with plenty of features, this airspeeder is top of the line and made for one special person. Crafted for the Fire Lotus Cup, Syndicate intends on having plenty of lavish prizes available for players and this is one of them. A air speeder that is an homage to some of the more masterful and drug induced literary pieces of work. Which of course gives the car its signature look, while most companies are all about the sleek look of tomorrow, Reclaimer really wants to bring out a more vintage look for this particular one of a kind speeder.

Strengths. The Phrik plating is great for all those tight situations, the more lightweight metal simply made more sense for crafting this speeder and it makes it both a bit more lightweight and tough. It's great at taking plenty of damage and keep on moving, so whether you're running from the cops or going through rugged terrain, the Hunter Thompson will keep on trucking. It's tough, fast, and an all around reliable piece of engineering designed by Miss Blonde herself. Plus there's a butt ton of drugs in the trunk so have fun owning a serious drug collection.

Weaknesses. While the body might be made of Phrik, the windows aren't. So if shots do come flying your way, we recommend getting low as to not get your head blown off. The windows can certainly take a beating, but they are nowhere near as tough as the reinforced Phrik. Furthermore another big weakness is the airspeeder's weakness to ion weaponry, do your best not to get tagged by it. While the Phrik can help diffuse that energy a bit, it's still quite effective at potentially frying necessary components for the vehicle to function at full capacity.

Summary. Just an awesome speeder for when you need to go and find the galactic dream, or if you want to travel in style. If you're the lucky winner of this prize then enjoy and feel free to take it as a convertible, we pride ourselves when it comes to satisfying our customers at Reclaimer.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

[member="Miss Blonde"] - A slight issue before we touch anything else. Unless I missed something relating to the Event (I checked and don't believe so)

You have phrik plating on this vehicle, but no development thread for it. I understand the submission is unique, but per the rules, the new relaxation of dev for Restricted Materials only applies to Unique Items in the Technology subforum. I had to double check it myself too, so no worries. Solutions can be as follows:

• Remove the phrik plating
• Quick 10 post mining dev to meet requirements

Get back to me on which you chose, or any other pertinent info or edits.

For a 10 post dev thread I could probably bump this to a semi unique and make more, but then that'd defeat the purpose of a unique item for a prize. And I don't really want to do a dev thread for a single item. So you can just archive this instead, I'll think up some other prizes.
