Description
Planetary Recon Speeder
Light personal transport
Atmospheric environment ONLY
Full Vanilla


Survival Ready.
A more armed Assault Variant is also available.
Equipped with Ore Detector, two fixed Gatling Guns and minimum storage.
Planetary travel with STYLE.

Inspired by "BSE Ultralight Mech" created by Kequalizr, be sure to check it out!
Workshop Link

Use mouse to steer since its essentially a land glider.
**Turn wheels friction up when powered down to prevent sliding, remember to turn it back to zero when you drive or the vehicle will not move.**

*WARNING*
Land-based vehicles in the game now are all kinda fragile, keep reasonable speed and try to avoid severe terrain.
Safe driving !

Although the Owl serves as excellent planetary exploration ship, T.N.N.S.F. (Tir Na Nog Science Foundation) is always eager to develop land-based vessels, giving planetary research missions a cheaper option.

Using the core technology from BSE (Black Sun Empire) and design philosophy of T.N.N.S.F., development of the very first ground vehicle only took a surprisingly short period of time.

As a milestone of land-based vessels by T.N.N.S.F. , this shiny machine is named ── Aonbarr.


I've always wanted to build a ground vehicle, but wheels are always difficult to set up. And it's hard to make special shape or design without resulting in a "car like" general impression.
Using wheels as gliding dampeners solves the "car like" design limitation, so I'm happy to adopt it as the core mechanism.
Though the fragile problem is still present, it's the game engine physics, all ground vehicles are dangerous at high speed.
All in all I am quite satisfied with this design, the curves are just gorgeous :)

Very originale design, you deserved more votes. Keep up the good work bud!

Thank you for the kind words !
Land vehicles are truly very hard to make, the wheels are so difficult to adjust.
This vehicle's core mechanic is also inspired by other's successful creation, I'm not that brilliant to come up with it all by myself :)

"Why do you flip all the time!?"

Good job, feels great to use!

Thank you! Yeah land vehicles are really hard to design comparing to flying ships.

This looks so freaking awesome! I wish that land vehicles were easier to make!
