[DEAD] Yes, Vehicles
Idea - Modular Vehicles
This mod is really something special. For a while, I had been wondering if anyone would make multi-block vehicles for a while. I've seen a mod that adds a tank before, but I really feel like this can be expanded a lot. Which is why I would like a modular system for building different vehicles.

So, my idea adds different types of ground vehicle chassis, which can be expanded upon with engines, seats and pawn capacity, storage, armor, guns, and utility modules such as battery storage and medical cots. Right now I have a few ideas, but I would like to see first if anyone would like it. Feel free to post any suggestions.

You should ask this in JecTools instead, that's where the coding for vehicles is.

I will check on a few things to see if that ideas is plausabile atm. Once i figure out turret rotation junk i will be planning on making turrets :p2turret: and chassis something you can play around with, so if you want a heavy tank to go "pew pew" instead of "BOOM" you can do that :P

I was also thinking of being able to equip stock guns onto your vehicles. For example, you can mount an LMG on your truck with a little bit of steel, and be able to have one pawn drive and another shoot. Other stock armaments could be miniguns, auto-turrets (Provided you have a battery module on it, as I've mentioned) and even mortars.

I just want to say thank you Mason for all the work you are putting into this. Also thanks to anyone who might be helping you with the project.

You have fun with that R2go

Could the modular system possibly work with somekind of twisting of the surgery part of the game? Install armor plating to a truck in a similar fashion to installing a bionic arm?

want planes and bombers and transport planes and para trooper planes. I dont think you can put that in to the phical thing in to the game so it would fly over head but you can make it where theres a shadow dureing the day a shadow and you could have a tab where you could controle them there would be a simple tab where there is the option. gun down (if posible) bomb (if posible) and later you could add dog fighting and AA so they wont be op. they could be stored in a hanger that is big and stores im thinking 2 para or transport planes and or fighter/ small trasport planes.
Moar ideas to the previous ideas. the para/ trasport planes have cargo drop by parshoots im thinking you can use the pods as a place holder. mabey you can have factions have said planes. mabey tribes can have these if they have good enough reputation with trade unions.
btw i am a wuss on this game i cheat.
