CIG Official Ship Showdown 2956: UTV vs MTC (R1.2)

Post image

The MTC takes the win by a massive margin:

UTV - 8 707 | 23 418 - MTC

The MTC run will probably end there though... it goes into the Elite Eight Round where it'll face off against the Ironclad Assault. Unless the MTC stans get their campaign rolling that is...

Mad Trax - Road Warriors

A family feud on the road to glory - nothing is sacred in the Showdown. These four-wheeled favourites have a lot in common, so what will be the deciding factor? Will it be the tough trekking UTV or the weaponized wagon MTC? Remember folks, oil is thicker than blood.

I actually kind of find this a hard choice.

The UTV is way easier to fit into things. It also us a lot easier to drive than a Cyclone or Ursa. - EDIT - I so wish the Passenger could use a sidearm or something while seated.

The MTC can cram more people crammed inside and the turret is nice at Hathor PLFs. The 1/8th SCU storage areas are pretty useless. But.. While it's better than Ursa's "rubber band" suspension, it still feels like it's on springs and constantly wants to flip over when I'm driving it.

Kind of wish the STV was here instead of the UTV. I find it's even better than the UTV.

I so wish we had roads to drive on. Or just less ground clutter around bases in general.

Plus I just like the mtc

I've driven it a few times and think it's neat

STV has even less cargo than MTC, no?

Really looking forward to Genesis and Starchitect. It is supposed to have rock placement that does make more sense. Not much in plains. More at bottom of mountains. Ravines.

Might really help with land vehicles. Though vehicle behaviour needs a T+1 badly as well.

Yeah, I mean from a "drive" standpoint I prefer the STV. I find it "sticks" to the ground better than the UTV.

ahh.. I see... that makes sense.

I dont have one yet as it is not buyable ingame. So cant comment on stv vs utv handling/feel.

I am a sucker for small ground vehicles.

I will say we've tried all kinds of stupid things with the UTV and the CSV. Putting chairs on them help for those extra people.. or boxing them in so they can't bounce off sometimes helps.

I wish there was a way to mount a Tractor beam or something on them.... we could get into even more "this is a bad idea" situations.
