Vodel Purchased by Core Dynamics

19 APR 3305

Vodel is a familiar name to many, the independent company having cornered the market in personal land vehicles in recent years. But according to The Federal Times, a downturn in profits has led to the company being purchased by Core Dynamics, a giant in the field of starship manufacture.

Core Dynamics CEO Jupiter Rochester gave the following statement to The Federal Times:

“There’s no question that the Vodel team possesses considerable expertise, and I’m delighted that Core Dynamics was able to help them in their hour of need.”

“Vodel’s core team of designers and engineers will remain in place under our roof, so consumers can rest easy – the Scarab they know and love will remain unchanged.”

In a piece for Vox Galactica, business analyst Marlon Royce observed:

“Core Dynamics was smart to keep the Vodel team intact, since they clearly know their stuff. It’s an excellent deal for both companies.”

'The Scarab they love to hate will remain unchanged'.

If Core Dynamics do a new SRV, I bet it's a tank.

Core Dynamics make Skimmers - Hoverboards to go with SpaceLegs confirmed

 

[Hullreaver]

Please make an SRV with more cargo space.

In the not to distant future... The Imperial Empire is close to collapse as Core Dynamic blocks installing Scarabs on all Imperial ships.

Pffttt.. .We'll just build a proper land vehicle, with opulence and glory.

I hope so.
I can't take those ground assault missions seriously when I deploy that flimsy looking vehicle.

It may look flimsy, but until we do have a proper Imperial alternative, the current SRV is awesome.

Galnet: "Core Dynamics have bought Vodel and have stated that nothing will change."

Everybody:-

Makes me wonder what this might be (bottom left) ?

If my 21st century experience of '[new owners] say that nothing will change' is anything to go by, there'll still be just one SRV, but it'll be more expensive and less reliable.

 

[Bigmaec]

Eh, it's Galnet

If the Scarab remains unchanged, and if we don't get new SRV types, then Core Dynamics will have no use at all for Vodel's designers and engineers.
What have these designers and engineers been doing all this time? Just making sure that the Scarab remains unchanged?
No wonder Vodel's profits went down.

I suspect there is a new SRV in the works. I think that is what this news is subtly announcing.

Spacelegs. Or Panther Clipper

Eh, it's Galnet

Galnet has had some good scoops in the past ....... Gnosis misjump reported before it happened

Spacelegs. Or Panther Clipper

I like your optimism

That was about the only one I remember and everybody except me and the Gankers went with Gnosis thinking ... pfffff 3D shields is enough

edit: oh I misread that, I thought you were referring to the Hydra Galnet. But in reality you meant the typical "Galnet is spoilering because timezone shenanigans", right?

Well, if we combine the winking-cat thief and the vodel takeover and assume both those galnets are real then we get...

We'll just mine from space. Will break all fragments at once and then we will just Hoover them up.

Space cats? Ok, not really space, but vacuum space transported cats? Awesome...
