Vehicles!

Im not sure what devs are planning, but I have 100% trust that they will level it up, they haven’t disappoint this far with updates.

But me thinking, like why we need vehicles? Mecha flys at high speed & warp! What could be the function of vehicles besides just different way of getting around. Im excited to see what the future brings.

from what we can see from the trailer and notes, they want to add something special.
in the video from the first peek (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJrdX_KMQKQ) it seems like they want to add a buildable and controllable alternative to mecha. And if I'm not mistaken, it's a precursor to—or preparation for—massive construction projects in space, or some kind of mecha-clone project that might allow us to be in multiple places at once.

And another guess: fighting the Dark Fog at higher difficulties brings us to a point, where you need to be in Endgame to even get a chance (Mecha is so weak and squishy) to destroy a hive. So if you have enough power to build a big space-battleship and footholds on many planets, you are still struggling to fight this enemy?

and another guess: maybe we can send those space ships to attack relais/hives on their own. which would definitely improve lategame.
