Storing vehicles in your starship (and beaming it down)

Vehicles items will beam down a vehicle from the players ship that alters the players physics and movement. Mechs and hoverbikes have already been designed and animated. Implementation on those has not yet started however. (From the Roadmap.)

 

The roadmap sorta implies that you can fit it in an hangar upgrade.

 

For what I'm wanting it better be a big hanger.

 

For this works with spaceships is not that hard, Vehicles will require a ship upgrade that unlocks some Hangar! With the hanger unlocked you can have vehicles to store in your ship and take to your explorations in the planets!

It's strange, the Space Station had that exact idea of store the vehicles and then when go explore, chose one, now with the personal spaceships, this must work differently.

 

what about a shuttle? that'd be cool!

 

well both would be fun, or at least flying vehicles...not sure if they exist

 

2 words:
Stargate. Atlantis.

 

What if you had to build/upgrade a hanger in your ship in order to store vehicles in your ship. That would help balance the game so you don't get vehicles too early in the game.

(nice idea)

 

How else are you supposed to get vehicles down? Build them?

 

Maybe they can fold up?

 

This could be handled simply. You could just have a device on your ship that you put materials into. After you collect the right materials, and customize your ride a bit in the menu (maybe paint it) you can have a vehicle beam down to the planet upon command. You could also buy vehicles and store them in the device, or somehow find vehicles, and beam them up. You could ALSO have a pad in your ground base for these to spawn, or, you could store them in a hangar.

Think "Catch a Ride" from Borderlands, but tons of more customization.

 

They're mechs. At least the legs can fold up.
Wheeled/tracked vehicles might be more difficult.

 

Maybe just increase size of spaceship from small shuttle to huge dreadnought that can fit anything? Including army of mechs, tanks, fighters & etc...?

 

Wait a minute. You have a 3d printer. Print your vehicles.

 

Anyone else here feels that final tier spaceship would be almost the same as space station?

 

As large, you mean?
