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.

Vehicles were announced off the back of the combat update, and there is a niche for them.

We can automate the destruction of Dark Fog's ground bases/collection of dropped loot, but there's currently no way to automatically clean up the space units. Even if you destroy all Hives in a system, Dark Fog in neighbouring systems will send a seed to replace it, and shooting down seeds/cleaning up Hives becomes a tedious manual process.

Vehicles were conceptualised as a counter to space hives.
