"Speed Enforced By Drones" signs in the Bay Area

I've not yet seen this in this game, in fact I have not seen any speed signs, what is up with that?

There seems to be quite a lot of traffic around the bay area in this game, shouldn't we have some traffic laws to go with that?

Flying is now hazardous to your health, thanks to the ark belt. Drones wouldn't stand a chance in even the most minor of razor rain events, much less anything more robust.

Doesn't explain how the mutants get away with it in their helicopters though. I guess the Dev team forgot about that when they gave us that line about the ark belt and flying being too dangerous now. Oopsie!

well on the show don't they say you can't fly because of the radiation? Didn't the radiation make people mutants? Don't think the mutants would mind flying in the radiation only to stay mutants. Besides, you can climb higher than any helicopter ever goes in the game.

Also its no capable to fly a plane. Never mentioned short distance helos. Also mutants may not be effected by the hazards. They're mutants.

don't forget the darkmatter, i guess their airships are protected

The whole "radiation" thing to stop flying was just lazy and they failed to look at the bigger picture. Take the cure for example, a cure like that would've been damaged if not completely altered by the radiation. The old missile wouldn't have been able to shield against said radiation, rendering the cure worthless or made the inhabitants of defiance turn into something worse.

Plus you can climb to the top of the tower in san fransico, radiation doesn't kill you there. They could've easily put vehicles that fly in that general height, they just chose not to either because they lack the developers to pull it off or the current hardware couldn't handle it. Plus you have the mutants and dark matter. Either way it was pretty short sighted to write that into the show yet have examples in the game that contradict it.

I'd like to see some fighting from vehicles.....imagine if you could make a choice to either bust through a Raider road block or go around and avoid. I'd love it if you could start a fight with Raiders, then make a getaway in your car with your buddy in the passenger side. The Raiders get in their vehicles and chase you....so your buddy starts shooting them through the passenger side. That would so cool to have that feature in the game. Can you imagine driving down the road and seeing a fellow arkhunter flying down the road with a gang of Raiders chasing and shooting at him.....I'd turn around every time and help out.

This would make the vehicle perks worth something in PVE and add a whole new element of gameplay into Defiance.

I don't think it was ever stated that it's too dangerous to fly period in the Defiance world, but it's too dangerous to fly high altitude or in orbit, due to the arkbelt debris.

So drones should be perfectly fine since they can fly low altitude.

The devs did. That was their 'logic' for not allowing us to have flying vehicles when we asked back in the Alpha/Beta.
