Vehicles (Apocalypse)
Sleek, Fast and Retro. No License Needed! Every vehicle has its own robotic chauffeur.
X-Com Vehicles: Road And Air
A variety of vehicles available to X-Com on the market which will be the first line of defense against the alien threat. Each styled on 1950s era aesthetics armed with a mix of weapons ...wholly unsuited to fighting those strange mushroom shaped UFOs until better versions are invented.
Style
- Airbourne vehicles can fly anywhere but can only land at a launch tube.
- Road vehicles can only travel over the grav-repulsion roadway. No offroad driving!
- X-Com hybrid vehicles are designed to fly but are also built to survive inter-dimensional travel.
Limitations
Mega-Primus has limits on congestion, so only a maximum of 80 vehicles of any type will be allowed to exist. Transferring bulk quantities of goods may often cause a back-log of new vehicle registrations and may also limit X-Com's vehicle ownership to more sustainable quantities.
- Road vehicles are only limited to the road and cannot be forced to drive offroad.
- Air vehicles may fly freely outside of the city walls but are are prohibited from moving too far away from the city.
- 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 the same weapons and equipment. The components do not get upgraded due to X-Com's acquired knowledge.
- Organisations do not change or upgrade vehicle components of their purchased vehicles. The default layout never changes.
