Guess what would be cool? driving a car or motorbike in Spiral Knights! The car design would be like:
One dude driving, other one on... ...turret? maybe not. then the next two ones could be on the back like on a truck! also the car should have its own health bar. on the truck like 20-30 bars depending on depth and the motorbike like 15-20 bars depending on depth.

Why not? Cuz theres already guns and bombs in medieval theme. there could be two cars, motorbike and a truck. motorbike should be fast but have less health. the truck is slow but heavy.

tell me if u agree with me! i would like if they would add vehicles!

why not?

why not? it would be cool! or a level comletely focused on driving or a epic battle level with cars! wait i got it!

Imagine: epic walker-like spiderish machine that would have similar rocket guns as the roarmulus twins!

Ya, you can't just put vehicles on a random level.

One specific dungeon with them could make more sense but it's too much work to be used only once.

I don't want Spiral Knights to turn into "That-Game-That-Never-Happened."

EDIT: Okie-dokey.

bits, don't mention that game again, it never happened.
so, vehicles. it seems to me you are messing around too much with other games. there is no free roam here, there aren't many spaces which are suitable for vehicles. it would take a whole new level, lots of coding and time which could be used for content better than this.
also, "coolness" only isn't a good excuse for anything.

Cars and bikes? No.

This: http://images.wikia.com/megaman/images/c/c1/RARabbit.jpg ? Yes.

If you want an idea of what

If you want an idea of what SK vehicles would look like, look up Maschinen Krieger.

That stuff looks ugly.

That stuff looks amazing. You're not looking at the right ones.

May I remind you guys we're on an alien planet with limited resources and machines that mutate? (sprites)

Find something that can be made from a scrapyard and has an arm or two.

@Khamsin.

The hovertanks are ugly. The power suits are sheckshy. Besides, considering that the only thing we've really had metallic materials to spare for are for structural support and gear. The junky, badass look of Ma. K is a lot like what mechs built from wreckage scrap in SK would look like.

@Arkate

All of the Guardian-line stuff is forged from metal, and they don't look like scrap. Mechs used by Spiral Knights wouldn't look like junk.

If we have vehicles, then we would build a spaceship back to the knight's home planet.

You need a power source powerful enough to reach escape velocity.

@Khamsin & Skyguarder

Khamsin. Forging suits of armor for an army is much less resource intensive than forging a massive power suit for every man in the army, equipped with oxygen and biohazard protection as well as thrusters for control in low-gravity environments.

Skyguarder. To escape the gravitational pull of a planet you need crazy Delta V, and power. That's why the Saturn V. rocket was MASSIVE. It needed a really long and powerful burn to escape the pull of Earth so that it could fly to the moon.

Sure. But it wouldn't be for every soldier. Only for those in areas of heavy fighting.

@Khamsin

It's like comparing the cost of making an M2 Bradley, vs. The gear that the men inside of it have. There is a sprawling gap.

@Arkate

Not really. Modern soldiers wear some plates on their torso, use slug-throwers, and don't have any sort of internally powered gear. They're basically primitives compared to Spiral Knights. It is no wonder their gear is so cheap. Compare that to Spiral Knights, who have powered armor, shield projectors, weapons that have their own integrated power sources, advanced meta-materials, etc. A small mech wouldn't be THAT much more expensive than kitting out a Spiral Knight, maybe one, two orders of magnitude difference at most.

Except.

Except that since the Spiral Knights are kitted out like this, their mechsuits would be even more kitted out. Also, considering the tech gap between a mech and an M2 Bradley there is still quite a difference.

It would be..

it would be cool to have vehicles, but I doubt that's gonna happen anytime soon. anyway if there were to be vehicles, it should be some space type hover or advance tech vehicle that fits in the sk theme.
