The new vehicles in VU11.3: Boat, Hovercraft, VTOL

ahh the lag

Wouldnt mind a tank, boat of plane though :D

 

I've never cared much for boats..
I just until recently (moved for studies.) been living on an island just outside gothenburg for my whole life and well, boats aren't that big of a deal.

But ingame I actually look forward to them! :D

I wonder how realistic the hovervehicles feel, do they build up momentum and slide for a very long time or is it more like a car but less bumpy??
Soon we will find out!

 

would like a boat. BUT I WANT A VTOL!!!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! just wait till they start introducing bombs....PVP is going to be fun, and you'll ba able to call in aerial support!!! zing!!!

 

Oh god just realized how much of a brat I sounded like! :D
Not my intention!

 

I am especially pleased with the V.T.O.L. implimentation. After all I did suggest this as apropriate for a space age collony. Also submitted a support case suggestion with a pic of the blade runner car. I will definitelly have one and taxi peops around and landing on the Ithaca towers:)

All I can say is thankyou MA/FPC, thankyou very much.

 

The boat has a walk-through transom and a stern platform! That'll be good for dive trips! :)

As for VTOL:

A design like this was on the tarmac at PA when I arrived coming up on 6 years ago. I wanted one then, and I've been waiting. :)

 

aww... flashback (lol) :)

 

where would ifind these itemsman this is awsome...

 

At least for now (and from images) it looks like the boats and vtols don't have an option for guns & gunners.

 

Not yet, but patience will bring them. BTW where is she? Any how I'm sure that there are already provisions for them. Will make for one hell of an LG ^^

 

And even worst of all, the prices on auction for them are plain rediculous and stupifyingly expensive. Itll take many months before i own one perhaps never. Oh well, I am content with slapping my toes mining as I go. Let the rich kids enjoy themselves with their new toys lol.

 

The car priced dropped sharply, I suspect the other vehicles will also.

 

VTOL's name is Sleipnir

Someone is making racket about another blueprint: Brunnhildre. Said it's a mech? Any details from the in-game crowd?

Thanks!

ye Ive seen the new discovery pop up ingame, no damn idea what it is. A meck??? O my, thats gonna give new twist to robot wars in pvp. Probably will cost over 10K peds for one too.

 

Meh... QYB. Alpha is right. Vehicles dropped in price earlier. They will again as they become more common. Right now they are being sold on pure novelty at a high price. The cost of being first, so to speak.

 

Looks like some cool new vehicle choices! But like the first cars I`ll be waiting for prices to flatten out before I get one. V.T.O.L. looks like fun!

too lazy for screens, just noted the speed and consumption of what I could find cause that's what really is important
