Vehicle Request. Improved Mobility SRV.

[Brian]

As an offroader and 4x4 owner myself I'd like an Improved Mobility SRV which is more like a well put together Australian Overland camper type 4x4.

• Locking diffs rather than the useless "Driver Assist".
• controllable suspension - height, stiffness.
• Bigger more off road looking wheels, and tyres with variable pressure system.
• Fireable harpoon type winch.
• Uprated exoskeleton type roll cage.
• 6-8 ton cargo bay.

Something sort of like this..

Or this..

I'd even like it to take up both spaces in a 2 vehicle hanger.

I do spend a lot of time on the surface looking for AFMU and Hull Repair Limpet materials while I'm out thousands of light years from the bubble, and would like to have some more ground vehicle options. You'd be surprised at the amount of occupied escape pods I see lying around next to short range fighters in the middle of nowhere!

My own truck...

Uprated suspension, front bumper, winch, radiator, brakes, snorkel, wheels, diff breathers, tyres, stereo, and CB radio, and more! And there'll be more mods to come!

Yeah I think that sounds like a good idea. More versatile too

6-8 tons is way too much even if they take up both vehicle slots. Also, I'd challenge either of those vehicles to drive better on a low gravity dust bowl than the six wheel independent suspension+rocket boosters of the SRV. It already is a roll cage and the suspension adjusts as best it can constantly for the terrain. I like the idea of bigger wheels and adjusting a suspension template for preference would be cool but what I think it really needs is a little downforce from it's thrusters to give it good traction. I always wondered why the thrusters can't push down considering they can push you up when you're upside-down.
I'm big on the harpoon winch too. Seems like a handy piece of equipment in the wilderness and climbing through canyons.

I'm all for more SRV types though, just for variety if nothing else.
