The Omegaton Pitbull is awesome. Could FPC please design some more vehicles?
Thanks!
We will, when we get the time to
Any chance we see a Pitbull Mk II soon Hanne? Seems like all the other vehicles have at least Mk II and many have Mk III...
Calm down...
Were still only january 10...
MA take vacancy from december 20 to january 20, no?
they are swe after all... they dont have the same notion of "work" as the rest of the world...
Why not ask the participants to help out with this? They will be the ones using them after all. And since you don't seem to have the time, it might be well to your advantage to seek the artistic ability of the one who will be paying for them. Perhaps hold a design event and winner gets vehicle named after them or something. Maybe I am thinking too much again.
We've thought about it. Its not impossible that we do create some design contest in the same manner that we did with the Proteron mob in the future (but Im not promising anything!)
But even if we do, it's still a lot of work to be done; Deciding on what concept to use, Designing it (or redesigning it for optimization), balancing it, getting the programmers to create the handling for the vehicle, testing and so on. While it saves a little on concepting, it isn't that much of a shortcut. So if we do make such a contest it would be because we'd want to create a cool contest and give the winner-vehicle the time it deserves, not as a way to save time.
hanne there any new vehicles in the works? like exo frames? terain walkers? perhaps a vehicle meant to mine?
Right now we don't have anything new in the works. But there's certainly a lot of good ideas that we could incorporate!
Thanks!
We will, when we get the time to
Don't you mean.... "Could FPSEE please design some more vehicles?"
All joking aside, with the number of VTOLs in game I'm surprised MA don't drop more VTOL gun BP's. I can understand wanting to make new vehicles semi rare as it seems there's a large load on the servers from people spawning their entire fleets of vehicles to show off.... but.... I figured the VTOL guns would be plentiful.

Actually I think MA has a bugged BP loot system. Because i also dont see the new vehicles, mounted weapons, RT plates, RT weapons BP and I quit sure that no Sleipnir BP drops also.
preassure on MA to kick it into a higher gear and get things done.
How sad would it be if it was MA and their own incompetence that brought this whole universe down?
This doesnt mean that rarity needs to be created over blueprint drops however - why not have two kinds of blueprints one non L bp where you can manufacture as many vehicles as you would like to but at a really high cost and one L blueprint that allows to produce them eco. That way those who really want an air vehicle can still have one, the markup has a certain build in max that wont be surpassed but also some kind of minimum which will owners of such vehicles secure their investment.
SEE is already in charge of Calypso. FPC is gone. Well bought anyway. They are called SEE Digital Studios(SDS) now. So whatever loyalty you had to FPC is gone. Calypso is now owned by the makers of planet "Molest a child". If I where you I wouldn't expect much from them. They will use Calypso as a cash cow to fund their own twisted world. Don't expect any content updates for Calypso. SEE bought out the only real competitor they had to insure their perverted planet would work. When the Rock, NI, Arkadia, or another planet ends up being the main destionation of players I hope the owners refuse to sell to SEE.
Yes, yes, lets make VTOLs take Ruga and Dunkel and 5K gears to make. And the VTOL guns to take Dunkel, Xeremite and Hansidian to make, in addition to 1M Springs and 12V batterries . And oh, lets make these all level XI ... XIV blueprints requiring level 60 in engineering to make. After all, there clearly aren't enough absurd blueprints in EU.
There was a promise to make vehicles widespread and cheap ... that must clearly be stamped out and forgotten. Some stupid plebs might otherwise commit the horrible sin of actually enjoying the game.
thats why only pitbull fits design wise to this SF world....all boats helicopters and jeeps looks like from late XIX century
I see the promise of widespread vehicles filled with valkirie mk1 and other cars.
I dont think its fun if every participant of the game is moving around in a gungnir - and no i dont have one yet.
Umm... do look at when I posted it? Back then, FPC was stil FPC. "So whatever loyalty you had to FPC is gone" - what do you know about my loyalties and if and where these lie? What I expect from SDS / SEE at a minimum is to keep their cash cow fed and I don't see a real reason to think this won't happen, though sure, Pioneer making missions for 3 planets will mean that less might happen for Calypso. Yes, theers a lot of pessimism around but i think at least some of it is rather unwarrantied.
I get it that you don't like Michael Jackson very much, and guess what, I don't like him for pretty much the same reasons as you. But I don't see the existence of Planet Michael Jackson somehow contaminate Calypso.
