What can you tell us about future plans for more military ground vehicles, and maybe even alien military ground vehicles?
TL;DRThey definitely want more military ground vehicles but can't give specifics yet, and would like to reuse the tank-tread work and other options rather than build it for one vehicle.
It's something we definitely want to do, but I'm not in a position to give any specifics at this time. It's certainly something that we are looking into.
I think from my point of view, quite a lot of work went into some of the setup on the Nova. A lot of work went into the tank treads, and it'd be great to not just have that done for one ship and to be able to build on that. I think there's loads of exciting stuff we can do. When you see a lot of our ground vehicles working and working well, it inspires you to do more. I like ground vehicles anyway. And I know a lot of the team, they're a lot of fun to work on.
Like Ben said, though, we don't want to just do work for... like, we've done the Nova Tank, that's going to be the only vehicle in the game that's ever going to have tank treads. We want to have some use out of it. I think if you even look at the old Nova Tank concepts, there was a hover version in there originally, which would use our existing grav-lev. So Ben's eyes go very wide there. So there's certainly lots of options we can pursue.
And I think, as we were producing the tank, even in our review meetings and things, a lot of ideas were thrown around like, oh, it'd be great if we could do X and great if we could do Y. And it's like, yeah, it would be. Absolutely.
