I love my buggys! Tr one is the best

Will we see them in ps2?

Yes, but not at launch.

I am worried we won't see a return of the Skyguard though, as it was talked about instead having better AA capabilities for e.g. Lightnings.

Nothing is confirmed either way, naturally, but I'd hate to see one of my favourite vehicles fall by the wayside.

Higby mentioned once that they plan on having more air-to-ground and more ground-to-air options than PS1 so when they eventually put buggies into the game, I'm sure a skyguard or something extremely similar will be in the cards. If not, then if we scream hard enough, they'll add it.

It will most likely be 1-2 buggies that can be customized to either AA, AI or AV, instead of making a different buggy for each use.

This.

I seriously doubt there will be a separate and distinct Skyguard. Just equip your buggy w/ AA.

Nanite Systems Inc will eventually produce a common pool buggy.

Why? SG handled pretty much exactly like the rest of the buggies, Thresher excepted, it just had a different mesh. Could just as easily slap an AA turret onto a normal buggy.

No need for vehicles that are different for the sake of being different.

I suspect there will be both empire specific buggies with some options that keep with the style of the empire and also a nanite common pool buggy with a wider set of options.
