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.

::: 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? ;) [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 06:55, 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)

The exploit you're referring to is the free ammo/fuel bug. It's a property of the vehicle's equipment, not the vehicle.
