Do the Banu use ground vehicles?

TL;DRThe Banu probably use ground vehicles, but narrative lets ship and vehicle design introduce new alien vehicles first and follows up, so the ships currently for sale don't show everything aliens use.

I mean, they use anything that they think is useful, so I'm going to tentatively say probably.

Just to talk about this, I know there's a lot of questions about wanting to expand out the alien ship thing, and by no means do the alien ships that are available for sale right now represent the full range of what alien species fly and drive around in. For us on the narrative team, ships are so important to Star Citizen that we have to be very careful when using them. The safer route for us is when we're talking about stuff hundreds of years ago, we have a little more leeway to just write for what we need. But when we're talking about present day stuff and what you encounter, that takes a lot of coordination between us and the ship design team. And so it's not something we do lightly. So wondering about, oh, where's the science ships? How come you haven't ever mentioned the Xi'an having a tank, and all this kind of stuff? That's kind of the reason behind it: we really try to let them take the forward step with introducing a new ship into the universe and then we follow up.
