Alright it's kind of weird as we have plenty of vehicles to go around.. but what is cuious is that when vehicles first came out one of the mst interesting ones to ever grace EU, was in fact the Megingjord Mk1 (C,L)
This was not a car of a boat or even a space ship.. This was a bonafide Tank chasis that you could skip a turret onto.... and when you did, this living breathing entity became a monster..
I mean where could you find a tank that had a top speed of 45 kpm and had that moster turret that could hit a target from over 1 km away .. I mean if the radar had a longer range than 200 meters you could probably nail someone with a turret blast from over 6/8th of a mile away..
And yes, it was customizable.. and according to the Entropedia this beast was supposed to be fcrafted..
But my quess it this as to what happned to it..
A few crafters did loot a few Blueprints of this vehicle, and in fact they probably were low click BP's so not too many were produced.. either that or possible everyone used up the BP's and keept the tanks for themselves realizing that these babies were a gold mine..(that is, until the took away vehicles in PVP)
I can still remember the first time i saw one of these things back in late 2010 or early 2011 and soeone had parke it at port Atlants.. And the thing did look rather modern and futuristic all rolled into one..
It's kind of odd that Isince that time I have yet to seen another.. It's almost as if these vehicles have gone extince..
But man, I would kill for one of those today.. and the turret as well, in fact if they ever brought back vheicles in PVP you can imagine the pandemonium somoene owould have if they were able to get off that 1 km shot and hit someone ..
But until we know the answer I'm going to say that theMegingjord Mk1 is as extinct as the Dodo Bird.. It's not comigng back.. It's pushing up daisies, It's Pining for the Fijords.. Let's jsut say, It's an Ex-tank..
*Sigh..* Oh well it's such a fond memeory for me..
