What vehicles would you like to see added to Defiance?

[ShadowDragon8685]

Vehicles that can be upgraded both visually & with physical damage out put ie cow horns (variations of decorative & practical) for ramming as well as wheels similar to that of the Duni but actually have a purpose.
None of this will happen (has ANY of the suggestions be added apart from adjustment of dps or similar easily changed code?) but 1 day we'll get that mad max style apocalyptic mmo where vehicles are actually built from the scrap collected rather than from some magical production line that seems only capable of painting their vehicles differently.... (immersion whats that?)

It was called "Star Wars Galaxies." Well, not cobbled together from scrap, but you did affix different engines/guns/shields/armor/whatever to your ship, and better parts/parts for different uses could be had. It also had a hugely complicated engineering game, wherein players could, at vast expense, make equipment by combining the best parts (weight, speed, power usage, whatever,) from other randomly-rolled parts into oneuber-part.

It was game-breakingly powerful when taken to its logical extreme. I remember one PvP fight I got into - I was flying an Eta-2 Actis as a Rebel pilot*, the starfighter that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin used in the intro scene of Episode 3. Super-maneouverable, super-fast, powerful guns, no shields. I'd managed to put shields on mine by discarding the armor altogether and getting some lucky drops. A guy flies along in a big, heavy, maneuverable-as-a-pig ARC-170, a ship the size of a flying boat, with a lot of power and weight capacity but it turns like a beached whale. In other words, I should have been able to horribly annihilate him by simple virtue of his guns never coming into line with my ship and me being able to ride his tail until his shields and armor buckled...

And yet he was not only turning well enough to be competitive with me he was turning faster than I could. He could also reach a higher top speed and had more guns than god facing forward. I somehow managed to tag his aft enough to actually bite into his armor (I credit that to sheer skill with my joystick,) but he lined me up and blew me away in one salvo.

Not terribly fun, really, having stood no chance whatsoever because he had ridiculous numbers on his side.

*Those of you who played SWG know that the Eta-2 was only given to Imperial pilots, by Darth Vader himself. How did I get it? Simple: I resigned from the Rebellion, waited a week as a neutral, joined the Empire, joined the Imperial Pilot's Corps, did as many missions as I could that involved no direct conflict with the Rebel Alliance, got to the mission where Vader gave me the Eta-2, and took the ship and ran; resigned from the Empire, waited a week, rejoined the Rebellion, rejoined the Rebel Alliance Starfighter Corps, worked my way back up to the level at which I could deploy the Eta-2, and flew it. That's how my Twi'lek Entertainer ripped off Darth Vader to his helmet and got away with it.

[e]Seriously? No Spoiler tags? That's lame.

Am I correct in thinking there is no petrol (but some alternative) hence no hemi-ness?

The vehicles allegedly run on "Petro-hol," which basically sounds like some form of natural petroleum-based alcohol. A HEMI engine could be made to run on something like that - and hell, the Dodge Challenger R/T we're all already driving already has a HEMI engine. That's what the R/T is for.

Dodge Viper !!! It should have the Highest Speed rating but a lower Damage rating than the challenger....

A Viper would be horrifically impractical in our post-apocalyptic wasteland. They'd be a lot more fragile than anything else on the road, and would be the utter shtako at off-roading. Sure, they'd be fantastic on the road, until you plowed right into a Volge trooper, or a '99er blacklung, or a Hellbug Warrior, or hell, pretty much anything other than a Skitterling.

But it would be hellla cool.

[Kunninmind]

Need to add some BMW's.

Also would be cool if we see some Cars that have been cut up and had other cars bolted on to them, proper hash ups like what you would see in a post apocalyptic world.

And what about the votans! they maid space ships, so didn't they make any vehicles? would be cool to see something like that in game

[ShadowDragon8685]

While it's true that Votans - specifically Indogene - made spaceships, they did so with infrastructure that is, sadly, not present on Earth.

That said, we certainly see plenty of Dark Matter APCs and scouting buggies. I'd love to be able to commandeer those and ride around in 'em.

[Kunninmind]

Yeah that would be cool, the Dark Matter are Votans special forces? if so Votans must have vehicles. if not able to drive them. I think it would be cool to see parts form Votans vehicles added to Earth vehicles.

I'd like a HMMWV with plenty of cargo space and stuffed with Kodiak/Peli cases to simulate all the crap in my inventory. Or I'd settle for a hijacked Dark Matter APC.

Hell, I'd settle for one Dark Matter's mars-buggy style recon cars. But an APC would be nice, too. Something to get some Cerberus skillups on. (Or give us the T4 Titan.)

What use is a Titan in this game? It can still hold only 2 people (driver and passenger), it takes in half of your screen so you can't even see where you're going, and it can't accelerate properly either!

Because it can run over just about anything short of a Hellbug Monarch or a Volge Trooper without even slowing down.


Oh, and has a really, really deep horn.

[Gunsmith Dan]

The vehicles I would like in game is ones that don't have lawn mower engines installed in them ..... SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!


A Dodge Charger rolling backwards on a small hill is so ridiculous I am at a loss for words.

[Draec]

Motorcycles, and/or Trikes. Jeeps (Also under Chrysler!) and more Pick-ups.
