2nd Age Preview: Vehicle Customization

PREVIEW: VEHICLE DESIGN IN THE 2nd AGE

The 2^nd Age will bring The Genesys Project up to modern times and into the near future. Along with that will come new concepts and options for all Five Domains. One of the primary design elements of the 2^nd Age is being able to design your tanks and vehicles for your faction.

One of the biggest advantages of designing your own vehicles is a wide choice of weaponry, armor, passenger capacity, and other secondary systems for your vehicles. Since we can customize our own cannons and machine guns this provides an extremely wide variety of tanks that can be fielded.

CORE SYSTEMS

Core Systems give you the capacity of equipment and weapon systems that can be fit into the vehicle. Just how many Core Systems can be in a vehicle depend upon the vehicle’s size. There are several different sizes of vehicles each with their own base characteristics that can be expanded upon. Through Traits you may have advanced vehicles with additional Core Systems allowed, as well as other types of near future upgrades.

Personal Vehicles: motorcycles and other single crewed vehicles.
