Will rovers have limitations on the area that they can explore due to factors such as power, fuel drains or map barriers? Also, will they be able to be destroyed?asked by PositronicReflex
Yes, there will be some limitations like power or fuel, but the most important will be map barriers. In the current system we don't have a map that covers say, the entire surface of the planet. Instead we have something that's, say, 16km2 or maybe even 30km2 depending on how ambitious we get with our little map areas. So maybe we'd put mountain ranges or things that would block you. The rovers are a vehicle just like a space-ship is so they have damage models and can be destroyed in the same way.
