Vehicles:
I said I did not anticipate the time to adequately participate
in the VCC design process. However, since no one but Hayden & Carter have
posted anything thus far, I would like to add the following considerations:
1: I like the idea of dividing space up into engine, passenger,
and cargo. But there should be incentives to try different combinations
of various engine sizes and "accesories" or else everyone will put in the
largest engine possible.
2: Does the body include tires/hoverskirt/landing gear? If so,
what is the base #? how do we factor in extra tires? Or do we count each
tire seperatly?
3:Performance increase-this ties into the issue of tires as well.
If smaller cars don't handle quite as well, we'll need stuff to increase
the handling so we can design those fast Euro sports cars. How do various
performance tires factor in, as well as active suspensions and the like?
I am sorry that I lack the time to answer these questions in full
to the degree they require, but I hope the rest of you keep the above
factord in mind when designing your Dream Machine.
