Vehicles (Apocalypse): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:04, 31 July 2025

Citizens of Mega-Primus use two types of vehicle. There are common road traveling vehicles that use a low cost anti-gravity system embedded in the road surface and airborne flyers which employ more sophisticated Elerium powered anti-gravity engines. The bold red military vehicles are available for X-COM to purchase.  From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

Vehicles will be the first line of defense against the alien threat. The moment those Alien ships come through those gates, your ships should already be launching and warming those guns. Expect a hard fight; the aliens ships are tough to kill.

Vehicles come in three types:

Ground Vehicles can only travel over the grav-repulsion roadway.
Air Vehicles can fly anywhere but can only land at a launch tube.
X-Com Hybrid Aircraft can fly and also survive inter-dimensional travel.

‡ Armor Rating listed as: Top/Front/Left/Right/Rear/Bottom. The in-game armor rating is the sum of these values.
♣ Engine upgraded to best version, acceleration depends on total weight of installed components.
♥ Earliest time when this style of vehicle is possible to research.
♠ Hybrid craft construction is possible if relevant research has been completed.

Aside from X-COM built crafts, which comes with fixed built-in engine (thus top speed and acceleration), acceleration speed is calculated using this formula:

Acceleration = Engine Power / vehicle weight  (maximum 10, minimum 1)

Limitations

Mega-Primus has limits on congestion, so only a maximum of 80 vehicles of any type will be allowed to exist.

Road vehicles cannot be forced to drive offroad.
Hybrid vehicles use an inter-dimensional source of power and don't have a removable engine. Fuel use is unlimited and these crafts can stay airbourne forever!
Any X-Com owned vehicle can be manually controlled with certain limitations.
Any vehicle type purchased will always have a fixed set of weapons and equipment that do not get upgraded due to X-Com's acquired knowledge.
Transferring bulk quantities of goods may cause a back-log of new vehicle registrations. Transfer smaller quantities or do it when it is 'quieter' in the city.
Organisations do not change the loadout of their purchased vehicles.

X-Com Chop Shop

The price of a vehicle is made up of its parts and chassis. Ammunition for each weapon and fuel for the engine is loaded to capacity for free! Components or chassis can be sold individually or in any partial combination.

Chop Shop: Air

Hovercar x12 fusion powerfuel, x24 Janitor Missile Array ammunition.

Profit: $2760

Hoverbike x8 fusion powerfuel, x300 40mm Auto-Cannon ammunition.

Profit: $1580

Valkyrie x14 fusion powerfuel, x24 Janitor Missile Array ammunition.

Profit: $2780

Hawk x16 fusion powerfuel, x24 Janitor Missile Array ammunition, x8 Prophert Missile Array ammunition, x140 Elerium (Rendor Plasma Gun).

Profit: $7200

Chop Shop: Road
Road vehicles are not very useful because all roads are too weak. The vehicles are good, the roads aren't.

Blazer x2 fusion powerfuel.

Profit: $20

Stormdog x3 fusion powerfuel, x600 Air Guard 52mm Turret ammunition.

Profit: $4830

Wolfhound x5 fusion powerfuel, x12 GLM Array ammunition.

Profit: $1250

Griffon x6 fusion powerfuel.

Profit: $60

A vehicle chassis with damage can be sold but at a discount depending on severity (constitution remaining). More damage = less money! Modules and weapons cannot be damaged or destroyed however any and all shield modules disappear if shield protection is reduced to zero from combat.
