[Mordicant]

First question, CP or ES?

[Hamma]

No idea

[SexyTRex]

I assume that one will be common pool but I hope it's empire specific.

[Sprintfox]

Porn. That's the NC Buggy!

[FergGref]

Looks like a mini sunderer, maybe a frontlines support type. I doubt it's empire specific but that would be interesting.

[DirtyBird]

Being a new vehicle added months down the roadmap and animators with spare time, I think it meets criteria that should see it possibly have entering/exiting vehicle animations?
hohoho

You really need those in/out animations? :/

Btw. this should be the TR Buggy

[Vanir]

Empire Specific buggies?

[DirtyBird]

You really need those in/out animations? :/
No I dont need them.
I believe others are still keen.
I'd like bugs fixed first to make the game even better.

[LONGFELLA KOJ]

This needs to be the new Marauder. Yes, now give us our Thresher!!!! :)

[Sprintfox]

I'd like bugs fixed first to make the game even better.

Rather tan bug-fixing, which is also a high priority, I'll set the main priority on increasing the playability of the game to it's maximum. Means, optimizations and such stuff.

[Pella]

New Marauder?

Just needs a morter on top :P

[Canaris]

my bets on Deliverer

[Dkamanus]

Seems like the Common Poll buggy. Nice anyway.

[Faust]

That sure is neat looking. It looks like a cross between an FJ and a Hummer.

The question is... what would you need this for when you have a sunderer?

[basti]

Im sure this is a Deliverer. Art style is clearly Common Pool, and i am under the impression that we ge faction specific buggys right away.

[MaxDamage]

Looks gorgeous, at first glance I thought it was a Deliverer; but I like the thickness of it - very American.

If it's a Marauder, then hot-diggity-damn that's an improvement aesthetically.

[VR Draco]

The question is... what would you need this for when you have a sunderer?

The keyword is SPEED.

[RSphil]

looks awesome. like a hummer on steroids lol. got to be NC with that boxy shape.

[Sentrosi]

Hopefully SpecOps gets some love with a fast buggy vehicle not unlike my old Marauder.

[Pella]

Hopefully SpecOps gets some love with a fast buggy vehicle not unlike my old Marauder.

Needs to be rocket pods proof.

[Pestilence]

cool pic, to bad he still has not learned how to rotate a pic.

[ShadetheDruid]

cool pic, to bad he still has not learned how to rotate a pic.

No need to rotate it, he's just showing how the vehicle would operate if you let about 50% of the playerbase drive it (including me). :p

[EVILPIG]

They should add this. It would only be available to the TR on Matherson.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTr5DM14PlfFlxgpAfgm59_qqRRyBxEa tgwPRnfqTpgwwBsxr0K

[FIREk]

I'm confident that it's both. Think Battlefield's HMMWV and Vodnik. It's essentually a mix between a buggy and the Deliverer, by PS1's standards. Anything smaller would be as pathetically worthless as Battlefield's buggies, which at best were used to get from your spawn to a proper vehicle spawn. :P

PS2 definitely needs this, because as far as small squads go, you can either take a couple of Flashes, or a pigfat Sunderer for transport.

It also looks NS enough to almost certainly be common pool. Also, reduced development costs if you only make one vehicle instead of three.

[robocpf1]

They should add this. It would only be available to the TR on Matherson.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTr5DM14PlfFlxgpAfgm59_qqRRyBxEa tgwPRnfqTpgwwBsxr0K

I am posting in approval, and with much LOL.

[BorisBlade]

so we get completely exposed gunner which means he is instagibbed by any vehicle shooting at us making boring gameplay? or will they be considered in the vehicle so we can get gameplay that doesnt suck ass? Vehicles already die in seconds, sadly, so no need to make the gunners boring one shot fodder too.

Also, this is waaaaaaaaaay too big for a buggy unless its misleading and more the size of an oversized golfcart rather than the H2 Hummer size that it looks like. Also, where's the deliverer light tank/transport? Driver + 2 gunners with good speed and decent armor? That was my fave vehicle before the tank buff patch in ps2 that ruined it. Far better than any of the awful vehicles currently in ps2, although thats not a high bar to reach.

[BorisBlade]

my bets on Deliverer

clearly not that, but wish it was. Only one gun that used from the outside and no transport space. Basically a marauder without the second gun. Not bad, could be great, it will all depend on how its implemented. The MBT's were implemented terribly, so if they cant even get to the level of a 10 year old game with ancient tech that they own the rights on (let alone improving on it), then they can easily even screw buggies up as crazy as that sounds.

I'm hoping they stop the BF cloning process and get it right for once. I used to spend most of my absurd amounts of playtime driving vehicles for my gunners and loved it in ps1. But they refuse to let me do that in ps2 and honestly i havent played in months more than 5 mins every few weeks due to many things, but this being one of the bigger reasons.

[Canaris]

http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/album/mp52rz6sp6/20130206_5112dd8398e57.jpg

Snazzy! I think the Sunderer/Flash will both need a graphical update/facelifts if they are going to add this. Lest they will look like last generation automotive relics.

[Hamma]

my bets on Deliverer

Yea likewise- totally looks like one.

[basti]

cool pic, to bad he still has not learned how to rotate a pic.

T-Ray doesnt need to rotate pics himself, he got others to do that for him. :D

[Hamma]

:lol:

Also, he responded cryptically in classic T-Ray fashion:

https://twitter.com/PS_TRay/status/299309517232037888

[Vashyo]

I hope it is deliverer, and we still get harasser and similar ES ones from PS1. I thought that was the sunderer for a moment, lol.

I want mah enforcer!

[Dkamanus]

Considering what T-ray said, could this mean THIS vehicle will come sooner then June?

[maradine]

But, will it blend?

[Zulthus]

Looks great, and as others have said, my bet is on the Deliverer. ES buggies have an open chassis, the deliverer does not. It can't be the Maruader since it's missing the grenade launcher on the back.

I just hope they make the turret look less generic. ;)

[Tatwi]

Every time you post something like, "T-Ray Tweets New Vehicle", for some reason my instinct is to think, "Bet that hurt". Apparently in my subconscious mind, tweeting is like pooping. In any event, I like the style of this vehicle for NS tech. It's pretty A-Team or Fall Guy and looks nothing like a buggy - it's clearly a truck folks. :)

This,
http://www.methodracewheels.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/mitchel-dejong-torc-red-bud-method-race-wheels-03.jpg
is a buggy.

[Neutral Calypso]

Built Ford tough.

[Figment]

Yea likewise- totally looks like one.

My bet is on the Harasser: common pool 4 crew buggy mentioned before: one gunner seat, one "open" seat you can be sniped from (bet you a single HE shell will kill the rear seat user, just like the Flash driver...), one passenger, one driver.


Ironically, tanks will have less manpower requirements than this, yet this clearly will be more lightly armoured. :/

[DirtyBird]

Has a real sweet Hummer look about it imo.
http://www.blogten.jp/1014/PhotoLibrary/p1014396922.jpg

[Gonefshn]

Deliverer???

Hope it's not a buggy, though it looks sweet I want buggies with open driver canopies.

[bpostal]

Gotta be the harasser. Not enough guns for the Deli and it doesn't look like it floats.

[Gonefshn]

but it doesn't look like a buggy :(

[Tatwi]

http://www.blogten.jp/1014/PhotoLibrary/p1014396922.jpg

Call me an old redneck at heart, but I much prefer this look,

http://www.off-road.com/aimages/articlestandard/toyota/062006/305959/0088.jpg

or this,

http://loadpaper.com/large/Toyota_wallpapers_419.jpg

in terms of trucks. Mount a gun turret in the back of one of those and have two rear facing passenger seats, plus one front passenger and the driver and you've got game magic in my eyes. :)

[Hamma]

but it doesn't look like a buggy :(

Yea - it really doesn't.

[T-Ray]

T-Ray doesnt need to rotate pics himself, he got others to do that for him. :D

#truth

it got rotated didnt it ;)

[SGTalon]

It is Totally the Marauder/Enforcer/whatever the VS had -

Look at the PS1 version -

http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/album/o9uff5kzh/marauder_640x480.jpg

[QuantumMechanic]

I think it's the new deliverer. It looks like a more modern version of it.

Seeing that makes me wonder what ever happened to this guy?

http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/album/mp52rz6sp6/20120409_4f83072b82973.jpg

[Beerbeer]

If it's a buggy, sweet!

However, for the love of god, no HE guns please.

[Dodgy Commando]

Looks nice, but how does it fit in with the current ground transport option we have withthe Sunderer?

Sure we can assume it'll be faster, but does that warrant a new vehicle?

That said, I'm not exactly complaining because I still welcome this newcomer :D

[NewSith]

She's beautiful!

[Fara]

NOPE
drop that subject, its not going to happen


Never say never, can't say what might happen 5-10 years from now :lol:

[Dougnifico]

I can just imagine every time one of the devs post something like this. They see us scramble like a pack of dogs chasing a ball, only we can't actually have the ball yet, so they sit there and laugh incessantly at our speculation.

[Shamrock]

I was convinced it was the Deli, but after looking at the Marauder pic and the fact it has an open top back, now im not so sure. Looks cool though :)

[Shamrock]

I think it's the new deliverer. It looks like a more modern version of it.

[Emperor Newt]

Cant wait to see the VS one!

http://pic60.picturetrail.com/VOL1734/11562106/20505791/333759852.jpg

[HiroshiChugi]

I have to agree on the fact that it's neither a Buggy or a Deliverer. For one, T-Ray said it wasn't a Buggy. And for two, it looks HIGHLY similar to the Marauder. My best guess is... fast transport? Like a mini Sunderer, but half to a quarter of the passenger seats and twice, maybe three times as fast? And not to mention only one gun. Who knows, maybe it's SOE's idea of what will be the Humvee of the future.

Edit: Grammar.

[Dodgy Commando]

@Emperor Newt
Too many wheels for a VS vehicle!

-e-
All this talk of PS1 vehicles got me thinking about the guns on the PS2 Sunderer: they should be offset like the original ES Deliverers to improve the gunners' views.

[Canaris]

hmmm from that mirthful response on twitter wondering about it being the Deliverer, TRays going to cheat again and call it something like the JLTV just to spite us ;)


though speaking of the JLTVs..... what does it remind you of :D
http://image.trucktrend.com/f/roadtests/ultimate/8219069+pheader_460x1000/163_0803_01l+JLTV_military_vehicle+side_view.jpg

[Figment]

How about we just call it the Raider? :p


I want my Thunderer back, damnit.

[MercDT]

I'm leaning here with some others (and hoping) that it's the deliverer. If anything it looks more like it's based on NC design philosophy (90/45 degree angles) in terms of looks.

[Figment]

What if it's a Marauder SUV that went through Pimp my Ride?

[Canaris]

What if it's a Marauder SUV that went through Pimp my Ride?

it's not got enough dakka to be a Marauder, or a Raider for that matter, like a horn you can never have enough guns when your driving angry :D

[Figment]

it's not got enough dakka to be a Marauder, or a Raider for that matter, like a horn you can never have enough guns when your driving angry :D

If it's got angry TR hillbillies in the back it's definitely a Marauder though!

[Canaris]

If it's got angry TR hillbillies in the back it's definitely a Marauder though!

can't argue there, we do love our Marauding :lol:

[Exmortius]

definitely looks like a maurader. tr specific jeep. be nice to have the jeeps come back in game they were fun to roll around in on ps1.

[Frotang]

Imagine an HA with a LMG and Annihilator riding in the back, i want this now!

[Boomzor]

So... if this is the deliverer, or equivalent smaller troop transport, where would you like to see it be available from?

Personally I'd like to see it replace the sunderer on the general vehicle terminals and have the sunderer moved to the current tank terminals.

[ShadetheDruid]

Personally I'd like to see it replace the sunderer on the general vehicle terminals and have the sunderer moved to the current tank terminals.

I think that would be an interesting change. Instant usefulness for the new vehicle (ie. the only multi-passenger vehicle you can get from an outpost) while also making Sundies more valued.

[SpunkyKuma]

Planetside 1 Deliverer.

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070608064845/egamia/images/5/57/Planetside_Aurora.jpg

[MercDT]

Personally I'd like to see it replace the sunderer on the general vehicle terminals and have the sunderer moved to the current tank terminals.

I definitely like this idea since I never really agreed with the decision to allow Sunderers to be pretty much spawned from everywhere with ease. I can also definitely see them do this though while increasing their value on the field.

[Eggy]

Wasnt this mentioned some days ago? or did I dream that.
Common pool deliverer. 1 driver enclosed, 1 gunner enclosed, 1 passenger and 1 exposed passenger, able to use there own equiped weapons.

Will be curios to see where it sits in terms of speed, manouverability and armour.
If its too fragile it will be useless with the current rocket spam, and yet if they give it too much armour and it can carry (3-4) people it will outclass the MBTs, unless they realy limit the choice of top gun.

[Mietz]

You mean we get a high-speed (assuming from size) vehicle that will have a guy in the back that can use his lock-on launcher?

Bwahahahaha

Mobile missile platform.

[Figment]

That's what they said - they just didn't say what it'd be called.

[MrBloodworth]

my bets on Deliverer

That's what I was thinking, though im not sure about it amphibious nature.


This had better NOT be a "buggy".

And for two, it looks HIGHLY similar to the Marauder.

No, it doesn't, not even a little bit.

http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/album/o9uff5kzh/marauder_640x480.jpg

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BCdIhFfCAAA8IJH.jpg

Ok, maybe a little. Not sure if I like it going from a truck to ...yet another Hummer/MRAP thing.

NOPE
drop that subject, its not going to happen

As much as I think it was a mistake not to include it from the onset. I knew it would never happen once the game launched. For that, PS2 will always be missing a point of immersion.

[Assist]

Cant wait to see the VS one!

http://pic60.picturetrail.com/VOL1734/11562106/20505791/333759852.jpg

no cooler, very disappointing

[Figment]

NOPE
drop that subject, its not going to happen

If not animations, what about use cues (not just text, but adding floor symbols) and fixed entry/exit points at doors and consoles, rather than a magic touch?

You know, akin to the yellow circle symbols on the floor in PS2. Could simply indicate which seats have been taken or if the vehicle is locked by the owner.

[Dodgy Commando]

I do miss PS1 vehicle entry/exit animations. The magic touch does feel dumbed-down to improve gameplay at the expense of immersion.

Halo has a compromise where you still see yourself entering and exiting the vehicle, but you can control it immediately.

[HiroshiChugi]

Halo has a compromise where you still see yourself entering and exiting the vehicle, but you can control it immediately.

This is exactly what PS2 needs, but in Halo, you can still be headshotted while getting into, say, a Scorpion Tank, even though the driving mechanism registers you as being fully in the driver's seat. Would SOE allow this in PS@ or have them invulnerable for that moment in time?

[Phantomdestiny]

Not really a buggy, more of a humvy. As long as it doesn't *cough*cough* hover, I'm all for it.

I hope whatever vehicels come they would let you sacrafice firepower for speed or shields even.

[AThreatToYou]

That looks like the Enforcer. Then again, it looks like the Marauder. Then again, it's probably a Deliverer.

[TO OP, NOT ABOVE IMAGE]

[Killjaeden]

That looks like it is for a different game. Source please.
Mentor ship program... means that it's made by students - so it may or may not be included. From designpoint it looks legit. Not a fan of it though, the "windshield" bars could have been made better

[Figment]

Mentorship program was a concept generation program for students, Sony holds the rights to the outcomes of the program, but there's no guarantees any of those would ever be used. Especially when the styles used for that program differed from student to student.

[Killjaeden]

T-Ray talked about it in one of the interviews... forgot where i found that. He said they designed something for a "game like planetside" - i guess Sony reserved the option to use their work if it's good enough (nothing wrong with that).

[Memeotis]

So, a buggy and a humvee. Other than the Phantasm, what would be some potentially new aircrafts for PS2? The current ESFs seem too versatile for it to make much sense to have another attack aircraft.

[Figment]

Two seater?

Literal divebomber? (With torpedoes if we ever get naval warfare! :p)

Stealth laser target bomber?

But yeah, they basically made the ESFs an air superiority fighter, a dogfighter, a divebomber, an A-10 Thunderbolt, VTOL Harrier and attack helicopter in one.

They could however split these roles up over time and create niche vehicles.

[camycamera]

empire specific buggies would be awesome :D

the Vanu can have a floaty one with a laser gun on the back
the NC can have the most armoured one with the strongest gun on the back, but is the slowest
the TR has the fastest buggy and fastest gun

that would be cool

[Killjaeden]

No thanks, i don't need a Sunderer... and we certainly don't need that invincible float crap again. CF please... i hate always beeing the slowest and the guy who is supposed to be the most armored (yet isn't: reaver) and hardest hitting - with a shotgung (yet is whined about if it actually makes sense: Scatmax)

If i wanted hitting power i would pick a Lightning, not a Buggy. A vehicle class that is supposed to be fast and hit&run doesn't make sense with armor and low speed. And skip the buggy shotgun SOE, please.

[Baneblade]

Never say never, can't say what might happen 5-10 years from now :lol:

It 's another ridiculous limitation of the world changing ForgeLight engine... because I can't believe they are actually the jerks their responses to it make them out to be.

[Chaff]

.
I miss all the ES variants to the Deli. Loved the TR Raider (of course). If we get some continents with water....it will be LAME if there are no vehicles to go out on H20 to challenge or harass the Mag. Also, Mags with VS deli variants mixed in is more interesting (especially in an open water fight) to fight against that just a swarm of Mags-only.

I wish all weapons we're a little less OP, so we could spend 5-10 seconds more time fighting.......especially vehicle vs vehicle warfare.
.

[Oryon22]

This thing looks incredibly badass.

[Rivenshield]

my bets on Deliverer

Yep. That ain't no buggy. Hopefully we'll see empire-specific versions of it down the line.

Bring back, oh bring back, oh bring back my Raider to me, to me...

[Hamma]

no one said it was a buggy:groovy:

Nice! I like secret vehicles :) My bet remains on deliverer.. though when I last asked about it.. it wasn't in the plans. Hopefully plans changed!

Looks like A TR bad boy called Marauder to me. But the Marauder had one driver and 2 gunners. Tray tweeted Marauder. Don't know if it was as hint, hint or just questioning our Marauder guess.

Well Marauder doesn't necessarily mean it will be an ES vehicle.

[QuantumMechanic]

I think it's the new deliverer. It looks like a more modern version of it.

Why didn't I ever think that? When they tweeted this, they mentioned something about getting troops to the battle safely, so I assumed it was some type of troop carrier. But this sucker would make an awesome ANT for Planetside 2. Now you got my hopes up!! :evil:

[Sturmhardt]

Also, I really wish people would stop asking for enter/exit animations.. let it go. It was awesome.. it's not happening in PS2. :lol:

I had the same opinion until I played far cry 3 recently and I was amazed how good those first person enter/exit animations feel. It's just awesome. they are very short and hardly noticeable, but give a great feeling of immersion. I'd love them like that in ps2, but it would take some work to implement them for the animators and modelers... and they seem to struggle with even the basic stuff like different weapon models or decent helmets, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

.sent via phone.

[QuantumMechanic]

Also, I really wish people would stop asking for enter/exit animations.. let it go. It was awesome.. it's not happening in PS2. :lol:

The devs obviously have their hands full as it is now, and signs are indicating that the dev team has less resources now than it did a few weeks ago. So I'm not expecting this anytime soon.

But if we keep the candle lit, who knows? Maybe in 5 years, when they are scrounging around for ideas they can do it. But if there's no framework in place to support this right now (which it appears there isn't), then I suppose chances are it'll never happen. But I will keep waving my lighter up in the air for it.

[Dodgy Commando]

Exactly.

I'm used to the magic touch with recent games, but in an ideal world it would be great to have the animations back. They were one of the things that set PS1 apart from other games for me, and really contribute to the immersion in the games that still use them.

Now I agree the Devs have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

[Akrasjel Lanate]

That means the buggy they showed some time ago evolved into this... nice

Or even closer looking is a possable upgrade to the humvee US looking at.

Or should we go with something more like.

So should this be accepted as a buggy is the real question, sure looks cool and all. But does it fit the what a buggy is in reality, or should it be renamed from a buggy to something els, as to not comfuse people into what it accualy isn't.

Fits the roadmaps discription of the buggy coming though pretty good.

We plan on adding a new common pool vehicle, the buggy. These are four-person vehicles designed to provide smaller units of soldiers an appropriate means of transport. The breakdown of seating looks like this:
•Driver
•Passenger
•Gunner
•Rumble Seat
◦Soldiers in this seat are able to use their personal weapons and equipment.
◦The downside to the rumble seat is that the rider is also exposed to enemy gunfire, similar to the rider of a quad

coarse there are more posts in that roadmap that make it sound alot cloaser though. other wise too why spend time doing up art, for new vehicals, and posting them when they have not released a pick of the known one coming. I think best to make personal points to things like this before they become concreat.

because if it a deliverer it gives a clue that hossin will actually have cross-able rivers . also they said the buggy will also be empire specific but the NS is the only one on the roadmap . Maybe will get the ES one on the second part of this years roadmap. btw they have shown art for the bastion fleet carrier and that isn't on the roadmap

That would be marvelous, if true.

Its the futures Humvee i would guess

well Hossis is a swamp type cont., but there does not seem to be any inclination that they have worked on Water PhysX at all properly, still cannot drowned in what we got and cannot fall on it from a decent height that should be survivable height and not die :) but strange to have a vehicle coming and not pic for it, we also have the concept art for the Sunder sled and flash sled types, but no concept for Buggy yet and its not really that far from supposed release

They also posted this mid beta asking for ideas for names and ideas on role, but also said was not deliver. And this looks more like the diliver then that, but both look good.

If they were looking for something open-topped, beefy, but with good mobility, they could get some inspiration here: http://www.supacat.com/products/defence/hmt/hmt-400/hmt-400-gallery/?page=1&

[Baneblade]

I'd be fine with an NS vehicle that let us put our ES weapons on them. The MBT Secondaries specifically.

[Daimond]

even though Tray has said its not a buggy, he also sugests that its the "TR Marauder" which is the TR empire spacific *Cough* Buggy *Cough*. Though think he ment was its not THE buggy coming which is the NS Harasser. some one here looking back posted a pic forgoten about from SOE live, showing a few bad pics of it.

But if you look at the Empire spacific PS1 pics there all still Open buggy style, and I like that idea.

I have always liked the look of the enforcer though. But would not want them to change the Marauder to much though, as every time I seen that thing rolling across the field I think of the TR, as a bunch of Hillbily Hicks that are to Drunk to shoot strait so the fire off spray and pray large nades as they drve buy, and use the passanger gatling, no need to aim :) would hate to lose that thought. lol
that thing was fun to drive and gun.

I logged into this acc after many years just to say IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE A BUGGY. It's more in line with the Deliverer/Aurora/Thunderer/Raider IFV type things we had in PS1.

Unless its something completely new, its too much of a divergence of the original iconic models of the original.

We need less Modern contemporary and more Planetside.

[disky]

So... if this is the deliverer, or equivalent smaller troop transport, where would you like to see it be available from?

Personally I'd like to see it replace the sunderer on the general vehicle terminals and have the sunderer moved to the current tank terminals.

THIS PLEASE. I've been campaigning for this for a while. Sunderers as they are are far too powerful to be so prevalent. Move them to facilities once we have a secondary means of group transport!

Call me an old redneck at heart, but I much prefer this look,

or this,

in terms of trucks. Mount a gun turret in the back of one of those and have two rear facing passenger seats, plus one front passenger and the driver and you've got game magic in my eyes. :)

Fixed it, silly Americans renaming everything :rolleyes:

Also the new hilux starts dying after 60K kms. The gearbox is especially weak.

Wait... so buggy's arent going to be empire specific?

I agree with this. PS2's art style should stand on it's own merits, much like Star Wars and Star Trek manage to do. Aping the hummer does not jibe with being creative with the Lightning. Magrider, ESFs, facilities, etc.

[Hamma]

I don't think the first buggy we will see will be empire specific.

[easypeasy]

give me ocean warfare! periscope up.......

I'd fap to that if it was ES. CP would be great too, but ES makes everything funnier. And YES, I'm gonna buy tires and stuff if they're released.

[ColSlyMarbo]

I take it that no one on this forum noticed this image appeared on April 1st? REfering to the one that looks like the love child between a Deliverer and the Colonial APC from ALIENS. The other Image just looks like concept for Splitting the Buggy into Empire specific Buggies.

[Chewy]

One part extreme necro + one part no idea what the topic is = that guy above.

This thread was made over a year ago dude. The vehicle Tray tweeted on the 1st might have been a joke, might not. It was a based on a concept art and looks very much like an ANT that is said to come on the resource revamp.

1/10. Try again.

It will drive and handle like some BETA vehicle in guess what a BETA game that it is!
