Revision as of 04:32, 4 April 2013

Don't mind me, just dabbling with a Navbar for the Vehicles section, similar to the one used on the UFO Equipment section. I hope to populate most of the main sections of this wiki with similar navbars for ease of jumping around the main subsections.

Main vehicle article

Probably won't use this one, but using it as a template to base the other sections.

Apocalypse Insignia X-COM Apocalypse: Vehicles
Ground Vehicles: Filler • Filler • Filler • More Filler
Air Vehicles: Filler • Filler • Filler • More Filler
X-Com Hybrid Aircraft: : Filler • Filler • Filler • More Filler
Civilian Vehicles: : Filler • Filler • Filler • More Filler
Unused Vehicle Equipment: : Filler • Filler • Filler • More Filler

I'll just copy and paste stuff...

Ground Vehicles

Need to double check on the proper names for the power fuel first. Also I think all the options are universal for vehicles, but don't think I've ever tried using the teleporter with roadcars. Probably get blown up by the collapsing road before it gets a chance to activate, I guess.

Again, don't mind me. Work in progress.

Nice work. I only noticed about the content of these pages today and I'm comparing them with what I did so far. Any ideas of what do add/change next to the navbars? Hobbes 20:29, 12 November 2009 (EST)
I do wish I wouldn't tuck works-in-progress away in obscure parts of the wiki like this. I think adding the mini icons of the vehicles to replace the bullets as you've done with the other sections is the way to go. The visual component helps and polishes it up a little. - NKF 23:40, 12 November 2009 (EST)
It is possible to add the mini icons to the Vehicle Weapons (they're already uploaded) but regarding the Engines and Equipment there are no mini icons in the game to represent those. Unless we create them ourselves. Anymore works-in-progress tucked in obscure parts of the wiki? ;) Hobbes 06:55, 13 November 2009 (EST)
Do we have a collection of any of the inventory screen equipment and engine icons anywhere? I could GIMP them down to size after a bit of a cleanup. -NKF 13:13, 13 November 2009 (EST)


Vehicle breakdown/resale profit

I was watching a 'Let's Play' on YouTube and was reminded of the game flaw, where you can buy a vehicle for $9000, and then sell the equipment and ammo back for $3000, and then the vehicle itself for $7500 or so - basically the profit margin for stripping down a vehicle.

Would it be acceptable to add a column to this vehicle table, indicating total resale value in parts? Or should that go elsewhere? I'm not sure that it's cheating any more than stun raids and such...

Stun raids are whole different level of exploitation. This is practically business, heh. A resale value of standard-issue parts would be certainly be handy to have, but keep in mind that the price does change. Perhaps a min and max column? -NKF 00:32, 4 April 2013 (EDT)
