Lost Teck

#130458 - 05/06/06 02:03 PM (71.225.105.145)

I see that at one time, most vehicles were not player made. Now they seem to be purly player made on the market. Well looking through the vehicles that exist, it seems that some vehicles are not able to be produced by anyone now. My question is, were vehicles like the Rommal/Patton series once made by players but now gone till some one reresearches them? Now it could be that there better tanks to strive for and so these 2 tanks were passed over, but I cant help but wonder if someone once made them, they left Nev and when there empire eventualy got deleated, so did all the research that went into discovering these vehicles.

I also see that the Raven is avaible to be researched, im sure it costs an insane amount of points to learn, but boy o boy would that mech be in demand if it could be bought on the market. So any ideas which mechs are going to be next avaible to the public via player factories?

Some light mechs are already in production.

Also many vehicle designs can only be bought with DP, however I would strongly advise against spending your DP in this manner

When Neveron started, it was purely an artificial market. NASI (Neveron Arms Sales Inc) sold every unit in the game. As I understand it, after enough people researched vehicles, NASI stopped dropping. Now, people only do decent tanks, so things like Vedettes, Rommels, JEDs which are either ridiculously expensive or no better than stuff already available were never researched.

With mechs, when people research one variant of a specific design, eg the Vindicator-FC, coming shortly, NASI stops all drops of that mech - so buy your Vindies now.

The following mech designs have been researched:
Flea (-GW)
Hornet (-WOB)
Locust (-GW)
Stinger (-NC -TS)
Thorn (-NC)
Wasp (-LA -DSP)
UrbanMech (-GP)
Panther (-NC)
