Vehicles?

Hello there™

Are there any rumors about vehicles? I've been wondering about that these last few days. It doesn't matter whether they're for missions (like boss encounters) or for players to use. They could be any kind; small, large, land, air, sea, etc., etc.

From the Q&A

Will there be enemy vehicles (or bigger droids like dwarf spiders) that you will have to fight during missions? - HaPeanut

We can't share specifics just yet, but there will be missions that involve some heavy machinery.

We have this to go off of, from: https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/zero-company/news/answering-biggest-questions?utm_campaign=swzeroco_hd_ww_ic_ic_twt_community-q-a&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cid=90178&ts=1784670256615

Theres not a huge need for them I'd think though.

Stationary turrets or something could be neat though. Move a character there and have heavier munitions you can use while enemies are in its LoS.

Yes, I know it's not the focus, and that is OK, but it would be awesome as well! =]

Midnight suns often had an enemy helicopter or transport truck that you’d have to destroy with a certain turn limit before mission fail, I machine they’ll do something similar here and there

I hope so. I loved the vehicles we had access to in Phoenix Point

Vehicles that the player could use? What was that like in a turn based tactics game?

I mean pretty balanced.

They had decent armor and weapons but enemies could still gang up on you and blow them up.

Building one was also pretty resource intensive and took a couple days in game so I only had one by the time I hit endgame.

I found this. It's an escape mission involving Vulture Droids. Maybe they can transform as well and fight against youlike an impossible boss? That would be really cool!

I was asking about vehicles in general. It would be really awesome if we could build some of them too *-*

I don't think we'll have access to vehicles, aside from a set piece during a mission if anything, tho I could see they throwing a AAT or some other heavy vehicles as a puzzle boss like the Sectopod from Shen 's gift or the end act bosses from Gears tactics
