General Luxury SRV - by Saud Kruger

[LiveWeyer]

This idea is for a two seater, side by side, luxury version of the SRV.

Limited (1)/No cargo space, very fast (racing?), excellent suspension (handling the bumps), and gorgeous views (space exploration).

I need something to load up into my Dolphin when I'm out and about to show off to those Thargoids.

I had to look up the newer Citroen. This led down a dark path of checking out "Off-road Super Cars" for some time.

I now present these beauties so others can also share in my drooling and awe of circa 2022 terrestrial SOL vehicles of old.

Would be cool!
I'd love to see some variation of SRVs in general.
Was thinking, in the opposite direction, it would be interesting to see some hauler/cargo SRVs, or possibly some sort of bus type SRVs.

I was drawing ideas from the tons of concept art we see for SRVs

As well as

Even more, if we could see NPCs driving on the surface with a variety of SRVs. Possibly some hauling cargo to other settlements/stations like we see with ships in system.

@Rhaazerus Orzhov But planetary only, that trucks can't fit in SRV bay.

Foldable or inflatable

Yeah, I definitely thought that too. Those would be some big SRVs!

LiveWeyer's suggestion of sports-sized SRVs would be a much better fit.
Just been thinking of how might we see some sort of cargo/person carrying SRVs. Would be a cool addition.

 

[LiveWeyer]

I was thinking about a personnel transport too. Something where you and a few of your motley crew could load up and "cruise into town".

Maybe something like a humvee (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)).

It wouldn't be quite as big as the huge transport, but enough for multi-crew.

Slower, not as good in bumps, shield tanky, and harder to see out of maybe.

All good ideas - these:
Skimmer vehicles for those who have motion sickness please.
Mechs - cos every sci fi game needs one.

We could have a dedicated transport bay for Cargo SRVs, for example 1 Cargo SRV Bay = 4-vehicle SRV bay that requires a bigger Optional Class module to be fitted (if I remember correctly, it would be a Class-6). Also, this would allow some use for the cargo side-door of Anaconda to be used and animated and perhaps add more specific cargo bays/doors on other ships as well! Perhaps limit it to Cargo ships, like Type-7, Type-9 etc.? Not sure if Orca or Beluga wold allow for something similar, though.

you can make an srv carry some kind of foldable towing carts or change the back section to be open like a pickup truck.

Being opened allows for hauling for example double the cargo and also being exposed risk it of being shooted out by pirates, And maybe a pickup SRV should not have thrusters so the cargo doesn't fall off.

regarding size you can make it fit in a SLF door and use it to lower the bigger vehicle.

in regards of the luxury SRV, i love the idea, maybe make it hold 4 people and add passenger missions for sightseeing in planets where you have to land on the planet and maybe do a tour circuit following one or multiple signals in the planet with great views (mountains, cliffs, maybe some waterfalls in the future. etc), thus increasing engagement in passenger missions and also oddisey planets at the same time.

It would certainly be great to have 'attack the convoy' missions and being able to hassle or protect random npcs out doing stuff as well.

Counterpoint - hoverbike a la ride-able skimmer, for very fast travel over planetary surfaces (50+ m/s?), and ability to rise some distance off the ground. No cargo or any other benefits, just for travel. Not sure if it'd be hard to program, but damage could pass directly to the commander as if he/she were on foot, and the hoverbike would explode upon player death.

I like to zoom.

So many good ideas, but FD probably won't take any of them

No. We are NOT having the Griefer MK2 make its way from Los Santos to space. Screw that.
