My thoughts exactly. Glad it wasn't.

Due to the EXTREME negative feedback when asked about BFRs, Higby has stated that they had no plans to ever put them in PS2. They have been known to change their minds, but he did say that.

Back to original question. Yes, I believe the buggies are next on the list, but they will continue to roll out with new content. So first couple months of playing look at what the game is missing and make sure to share your views, and who knows, might be in the game before you know it.

Just to reiterate, or maybe even answer for the first time: *at release* don't expect any new vehicles othern than what you've seen already.

Yes there's this concept art of a cool looking deliverer-type vehicle, but we've not heard anything about it in months.

And absolutely they will be adding new vehicles over time, post launch.

Surely there is a way to do them right....

Problem with a BFR is that it takes the same crew as a tank, yet has more firepower and defence.

If they needed 4 or 5 people to operate as we're more exclusive, only give to the top ?% of each factions most dedicated tankers, it might be better.

Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?!?!

I believe it was mentioned by Higby relatively recently, though I can't remember the source, that the buggies are planned. In fact I think he said the models are in creation but due to balancing issues, they won't make it into the game at launch.

I really think there are plenty of vehicles for launch. They have to hold back on some stuff for further down the road.

Oh I certainly am... but I'm just not sure where we are going to get several live jaguars and enough custard to fill an Olympic swimming pool at this time of night.

but in reply to the OP - The sunderer is the APC and Nanite System has tweeted concept pictures of a lighter version that I still hope is in the works, we've not heard anymore about it.
