Buggies anyone?

Does anyone remember from Nemesis the Argo shuttlecraft that had that cool buggy Picard, Data and Worf drove around on Kolarus III?
I kind of thought... what if in certain missions we would get to drive around in those buggies? I know, they would be hard to code and whatnot, and there is no real point to having buggies other than to just drive into battle in an epic dune buggy, but it was just a thought. Or if we can't have the buggy, what about the shuttlecraft? I can see it now, a shuttlecraft with pilot abilities XD ohh, how interesting that would make Atmosphere Assault and the Vault... oh my

Now these are just suggestions for minor things that in my mind will help improve overall gameplay. The buggy, in my mind, should be added with or after some other features... *cough* Orion carrier and Ferasan Heavy Escort, *cough* :)

    We need mounts like Syboks Horse !
    :grimace:

    Argos would be fun perhaps, they could act similar to the Warthogs in Halo, with your boffs running the onboard chain guns. But there's not actually any good adventure zones for them.

    Although, Argo races would be pretty sweet if they ever decide to add them.

    Been brought up and discussed many times. The normal response is "the maps are too small to make adequate use of this, so why?"​​

    Oh. Then I apologize for wasting your time then...

    How about the pilot shuttlecraft then? I mean, would that be too overpowered, or no?

    eeeh... not that it's a bad idea, just that... i don't think the engine could handle buggy physics that well.

    as for shuttlecraft? "The Vault" is not a favourite of a few folks here. :p

    some maps are, but Dyson Ground, Nimbus? Actually they're not built with this in mind and would need to be rebuilt to look right.

    I mean, "The Vault" is one of the few opportunities you get to fly around in your shuttlecraft (Yea, at some point when Cryptic is adding in new STF queues, they should really add in a shuttlecraft one)

    But pilot abilities in Rhi? Man, that would be cool... especially if Cryptic adds in the Argo shuttlecraft, since that kind of looks aerodynamic (well, more than the regular shuttlecraft or the runabouts) or modifies the Peregrine fighter

    True... especially Nimbus. There, Argo buggies would really make sense, because there are giant scorpions wandering around that want to rip your face off

    Voth battlezone says otherwise.
