I support this idea. Vehicles must have weapons, because we are going to land on a dangerous planets, I'm sure there will be some cases, when we will have to use tanks or even mobile fortress!
One thing tough, vehicles is really uncomplete. While that gives a chance for more to come, I think we have to stop it at the orgininal idea. Could become a great thing though at post-release. The only flaw I see here is that this would make you less likely to use different kind of vehicles. Maybe add that different vehicles could have one type of weapon only. Ex: -Bomber (explosive weapons) -Pyrobot (flaming weapons) -Turret (Gun weapons but slow speed) -etc. How about that?
This makes a lot of sense. It makes vehicle PvP seem a lot like TF2. Perhaps each vehicle type (plane, tank, mech etc.) also has a set of classes. Mechs: Pyro, Stealth, Gunner, Leech Planes: Fighter, Stealth, Kamikaze, Plasma Hover____s: Plasma, Juggernaut, Leech, Scout Turrets: Standard, Plasma, Leech, Manned It would give people reason to play around with different vehicles and also adds depth and variety.
I think just about any weapon that is hand-held should be able to be added to the vehicle. Additionally each weapon would drain energy from the vehicle. So, you can only have a amount of weapons proportionate the vehicle it is on.
It would be really cool if your in a race and you decide to troll your opponenets (prob illegal though )
I love this topic. I upvoted it as hard as I could. Since I liked it so much, I took this idea, along with a bunch of other peoples awesome vehicle ideas and made a combined suggestion. In order to satisfy everyone in their creative desire what is really needed is a vehicle hangar/garage/bay area that would be part of a players space station. In it players could be able to build, customize, and store their vehicles for use on planets. The bay itself could be upgraded with resources to increase the amount of vehicles stored, vehicle size, type, amount of customization options, etc. With a system implemented like this, it could satisfy the multiple suggestion topics that include different types of vehicles like, subs, aircraft, mechs, and multi-person vehicles. I've created a suggestion for this here: http://playstarbound.com/suggestions/?p=view&id=8183 Please upvote it since it will help making weapons on vehicles a part of the game! Together we can get it to the TOP!
