SCOOTERS
| Scooter | Economy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The standard motor
scooter is one of the least expensive motorized vehicles
available. Most scooters retail for well under $5000,
with most at $2000 or less! Most are designed for the
short-distance commuter, as they typically don't have the
speed to make highway travel convenient. "Touring" models, such as the Honda Helix (right) are subtantially larger (75kg), have a slightly larger engine (75kph) and fuel capacity (250kms), plus an enlarged cargo compartment (0.2 m3). Touring scooters start at about $3000. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MOTORCYCLES
| Supersport Motorcycle | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The typical
Supersport Motorcycle is reasonably inexpensive (and
stylish) transportation, especially when compared to a
full-sized car. Even the highest-performance bikes (such
as the Yamaha YZF-R1 at left) have an MSRP that's still
much, much lower ($12,000 for the R1) than a comparable
sports car. Additionally, it is the rare automobile that
can even hope to match the acceleration and
maneuverability of one of these bikes, and you'll rarely
(if ever) run into a F1 racer while you're downtown... Supersport models are available from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, as well as more "luxury" manufacturers such as BMW and Ducati. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dirtbike | Standard | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The standard off-road dirtbike is another common and inexpensive vehicle on the market today. Usually cheaper than a sport bike, most dirtbikes trade road-speed for a much improved off-road capability (Note -- Still not Improved Off-Road). Higher performance motocross variants are available for an increased cost. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mitsuzuki Bakushin | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Bakushin is an open-road sport bike that has become especially popular with Japanese bosozoku motorcycle gangs of Japan and other youngbloods around the world. The Bakushin is also one of a small number of bikes that utilizes a "internal" rear wheel drive system (hence the "hollow" rear wheel). The advanced handling and unique balance make this vehicle highly unsuitable for novices! (Min Drive Skill 2) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yamashiri GSR1200 Eclipse | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The GSR1200 is a serious racing bike with a recumbent configuration that has the kind of performance that most bikes fail to emulate. An excellent top speed, as well as incredible handling, this bike has been constantly outclassing the opposition since its debut on the Pan-Pacific Superbike Race Circuit in 2036. The production model Eclipse is relatively unchanged from the professional racing models used by the Yamashiri Race Team (race model has a substantially higher Top Speed). A slightly modified version is designed for the touring rider, called the Eclipse-T, replacing the supercharged engine with a more fuel-efficient model (remove Fuel Inefficient) and a slightly lower top speed (200kph). The Eclipse-T has a $15000 MSRP. Both models of the Eclipse have an Active Road Vision system (-3/2km Sensors) that overlays lowlight and passive IR information onto the rider's visor. Interface-capable helmet costs $500 (standard helmet w/ SmartGoggles+HUD). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| BMW K1200 | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The BMW K1200 is typical of many "hybrid" Sport-Touring motorcycles available today. They commonly have the sleek contoured appearance of a street bike, but with the relative comfort and range of a touring bike. "Standard" grade variants typically cost ~$8000. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMUTER CARS
| Metrocars | Economy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
   |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Metrocars are a side effect of modern 21st century urban living. With much of the population living in the major population centers, full-sized cars are often not allowed (with exceptions, of course) within the Corporate and Downtown areas to decrease congestion. These Metrocars are very small (micro-compacts, really) two-seaters typically electrically powered. They're designed to have enough juice to drive to work, plug in to the building's power grid to recharge, and get back home and recharge again. Their low speed allows for much higher-efficiency motors, as the speed limit in most downtown areas is 40kph or less. Most Metrocars are also (relatively) lightly armored. Additionally, most parking garages include recharging stations (~$5/charge). Metrocars can also be rented in most urban areas rather inexpensively (~$25/day plus deposit). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| BMW EL-1 | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The BMW EL-1 is the German auto-manufacturer's standard metrocar model. However, the EL-1 utilizes a gasohol/electric hybrid engine, giving it both much greater speed, but also grants a substantial increase in cruising range, as the batteries can be recharged with the fuel engine. Consider the range to be the sum of both power systems -- 100km of pure battery power, and 300km of fuel power. As the EL-1 is a BMW product, it is sold with all the standard options (anti-theft system, stereo, leather interior, etc). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMPACT CARS
| COMPACT CAR | Standard/Economy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Small, fuel-efficient, and inexpensive (Economy variants can be as inexpensive as $5000), the compact car is one of the most common vehicles on the roads today. Compact cars are available with a standard trunk, as well as a hatchback variant) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SEDANS
| Economy Sedan | Economy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Toyo-Chrysler Omega and the Dodge Stratus are typical of the economy-class sedan, which also includes the Ford Escort and Honda Civic and more. As with most road vehicles today, both the Stratus and Omega utilize gasohol (CHOOH2) powerplants. 2- and 4-door variants are also available. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Standard Sedan | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The sedan is probably the most common vehicle seen on the roads today. Modern sedans typically have a composite shell overlaid upon an aluminum and steel alloy structural framework, designed to protect the passengers in the event of a crash or other impact. Both the Chrysler Cirrus (left) and the Dodge Intrepid (right) are typical of the standard sedan, available in both 2- and 4-door variants. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luxury Sedan | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The luxury sedan is functionally identical to the standard sedan, but typically includes far more "options," such as leather interiors, a more impressive stereo system, custom wheels, and an excellent security system. Some of the more expensive luxury sedans targeted towards upper corporate clientele offer optional armor plating (up to 10 Armor @ $5000/pt) and bulletproofed windows (count as Armor Rating 30 at RPG-scale, Reinforced Crew R2 at TAC, $2000). Common luxury manufacturers are BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Acura (a Honda subsidiary) and Lexus (a Toyota subsidiary) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Coupes (Sports Sedans)
| Standard Coupe | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Coupe is the intermediary between a sedan and a sports-car. Many coupe models are based on the manufacturer's sedan frame with an uprated engine and a sleeker shell. The Dodge Avenger and the Plymouth Stratocruiser are typical of this class. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luxury Coupe | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Luxury Coupe is roughly similar functionally to the Standard Coupe, but again, these include all of the modern 21st century luxuries such as built-in cellsystems, GPS, active handling and suspension systems, as well as a high-power gasohol engine capable of reaching upwards of 150mph! As with the luxury sedans, the manufacturers also offer composite armor and bulletproofing upgrades (same price). Models shown are the BMW-8 (left) and the Chrysler Atlantic (right). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sports Cars
| Economy Sport | Economy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
   |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The "Economy" sports car isn't quite the oxymoron it appears to be. The above Nissan 280, Mazda Miata-C2, and Hyundai Salsa, typical models for this class, all have a basic (read: minimal options) MSRP of $15,000. There's only really comfortable seating for 2 -- though a third (and possibly fourth) could fit into the cramped "rumble" seat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Standard Sport | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The archetypical sports car -- sleek styling, poweful engine, and FAST! Most of these roadsters are typically two-seater roadsters (like the Mitsubishi Raiden roadster at left), but others also have a "rumble seat" -- rear passenger seating that's a far cry from comfortable (no leg room, etc) that can fit up to two more passengers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luxury Sport | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
   |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Luxury Sports category is one of the broadest ranges in automobiles today. Some of the most common and "mass-produced" of them still MSRP for approximately $60,000 or more, whereas the 21st century models from Lamborghini and Ferrari sell for hundreds of thousands! These super-sports also have a fairly broad range in performance, with the high-end models (such as the Vector Slipstream, center) capable of upwards of 350kph (225mph) on the straightaway. The Acura NSX (left) and Dodge Viper (right) are no slouches, either, clocking in at over 300kph (190mph). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trucks
| Light Truck | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Dodge Dakota, pictured above, is typical of civilian light-duty pickup trucks. Decent cargo capacity (large flat bed), excellent fuel efficiency (low weight w/o cargo), many also feature a small fold-down seat for a third passenger behind the driver/passenger bench seat, at a sacrifice of the cargo space within the cab. Maximum (recommended) towing capacity: 600kg. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Medium trucks ($15,000) can tow up to 1000kg, Heavy Trucks ($20,000+) up to 2000kg.
| Heavy Truck | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Dodge Ram, pictured above, is typical of civilian heavy-duty pickup trucks. Decent cargo capacity (large flat bed), and many also feature a small fold-down seat for a third passenger behind the driver/passenger bench seat, at a sacrifice of the cargo space within the cab. Maximum (recommended) towing capacity: 2000kg. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4x4s & Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV)
| Compact SUV | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Sport Utility market is enormous -- economy-priced compact variants were designed in order to fill a niche for the young and physically active corporates. These compact SUVs (C-SUVs) contain many of the qualities of larger vehicles, but vehicle clearance is still too low for true off-road use (relatively easily modified by a trained mechanic/tech for ~$3000). Additionally, many of the new-era compact C-SUVs also contain power and other necessary jacks for computer and other communications equipment. (Upgrade to -2/10km Comm system, $1000), and in the Isuzu Backpack (above), the passenger seat folds down and swivels to become a workstation desk for the driver! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Standard SUV | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Standard Sport-Ute... A vehicle class first pioneered by Land Rovers in the mid 20th century. These super-jeeps attempt to maintain off-road go-anywhere capability with all the accoutrements associated with a standard (suburban) sedan. The increased cargo and towing capacity is one large benefit, but the increased size adversely affects fuel consumption when compared to a sedan. Though these SUVs are designed for moderate off-road use, excessively rough terrain should be voided. Any damage caused due to off-roading in inappropriate terrain is not covered in the manufacturer's warranty. Models shown are Honda CRV and Jeep Commander. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luxury SUV | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Luxury SUV was first pioneered by the British Land Rover, well known for its use in African and Australian Safari. The 'Rover is highly regarded for its capacity to handle an exceptionally wide variety of terrains (though when compared to true milspec-grade vehicles such as the HMMWV, it is somewhat lacking), and not spill your martini in the process. Luxury SUVs are available with all the common options available for other Luxury vehicles, such as leather interiors, enhanced security systems, and bulletproofing. Some Super-Luxury SUVs exist, such as the Lamborghini LM (Used by the Saudi Arabian Police, MSRP ~$200,000! The LM's off-road top speed is an amazing 220kph!!) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Vans
| Compact Minivan | Economy/Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Compact Minivan is almost a hybrid between a sedan and a true van -- the road footprint and seating of a sedan, with the headspace and increased cargo volume of a van. Additionally, in many models, the rear bench seat may be removed, doubling the available cargo space (to 2 m3). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Minivan | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The minivan is a design that only became popular within the last 15 years of the 20th century. Minivans offer a smaller, sleeker overall package than many full-sized vans, with only slightly smaller capacity. Most models also feature dual sliding doors for easy access from either side. Additionally, in many models, either of two rear bench seats may be removed, increasing the available cargo space by 1 m3 (to a maximum of 3 m3). Model pictured is the Dodge Caravan. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Full-Size Van | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The full-sized van has the largest enclosed cargo capacity of any civilian vehicle, short of a semi... Most models seat anywhere from 1 to 10 passengers comfortably, depending on the desired amount of cargo space. Additionally, any of the three rear bench seats may be removed, increasing the available cargo space by 3 m3 each (to a maximum of 12 m3). Model pictured is the Dodge Cargo-1500. Cargo models are typically sold without the bench-seat fittings, thus using the standard 12 m3 cargo space. Cargo models typically retail for about $2500 less. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Specialty
| Limousine | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Limousines are the ultimate mode of transportation for the wealthy, politically important, or for anyone who wants to make their big appearance in style. One of the largest perks for limos is that their large size makes it convenient for a dignitary to have a significant security detachment travel with him. Limousines are available in a broad variety of styles, from the ultra-traditionalist Rolls-Royce to the more modern Acura Elysianne (top), and the Luxus-14 (bottom), as well as sizes (super-stretched limos can seat upwards of 10 people in the back). Additionally, because of the value of the contents (important businessmen/politicos/etc), most manufacturers can provide more heavily armored models (up to Armor 10) to appropriately licensed buyers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Heavy Transport
| Light Cargo Truck | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The light cargo truck occupies the functional niche between the cargo van and the full-sized semi tractor/trailer. Commonly utilized for delivery trucks for smaller loads, typically intracity or short-distance intercity goods transport. Because of the hollow nature of the cargo container, it is substantially more susceptible to damage (e.g. small arms fire), though some buyers transporting more valuable goods often armor the cargo section in addition to the remainder of the vehicle (Base Armor increased anywhere from 6-10, Weak Point flaw removed) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Semi Tractor | Standard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When a large amount of
goods need to be moved cross-country, this is the way to
go! The semi tractor is a massive engine mounted on a
stout frame, giving amazing towing capacity! Common
maximum towing capacity is upwards of 24000kg. NOTE: Stats are for Tractor ONLY! The trailer is considered a separate towed vehicle, with typical relevant stats below. Trailer Stats: Mass: 1000kg+Cargo Cargo Capacity: 90 m3 (~3x3x10m hwl) Armor: 4/8/12 (May be increased) Cost: $10,000 |

Civilian Aerodyne Vehicles (AVs)
| BMW/Rolls Royce AV-7 | Luxury | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The BMW AV-7 is a highly advanced personal aerodyne powered by a single Rolls-Royce 2280 ducted turbojet. The BMW AV-7 utilizes the state of the art in computerized fly-by-wire flight control and automated navigation systems (includes both an autopilot and dedicated GPS navigation system). Additionally, the BMW AV-7 is a hybrid -- not only can it fly (cruising at a respectable 300kph), it also has concealed set of roadwheels, allowing the AV-7 to utilize the road for fuel efficiency when needed. Unfortunately, the two control fins at the rear are relatively fragile -- a rear-end collision would severely damage their control surfaces. This AV-7 also includes passenger seating for 3 plus pilot, as well as crash webbing for safety. Additionally, the BMW AV-7 has top-of-the-line sensory and communications gear (-1/2km Sensors, -1/10km Comm) available in the civilian sector. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
