Swapping out engines in vehicles


In the PAX Higby Interview @ Curse higby talked about swapping engines for vehicles. Sounds cool but what does it mean?

More speed but less armour?
More turning speed but less braking?
Or more armour and less speed and turning?

What you people think?

Re: Swapping out engines in vehicles


May be old info but only the very hardcore of us caught it the one time the slot aspect was mentioned. They have said customization many times but gettin so specific as to talkin about the slots was only once.

Kinda sad you cant give up armor for speed and its just accel vs top speed or where your extra armor goes. I do hope there are some cross category penalties such as lower speed/accel if you get the added armor (and something meaningful, 5kph which is only 3mph is pointless). If its just us picking whats in teh slot without considering its effects on other aspects of the vehicle, or the option of not getting the slot filled is not good in some other way (lets you move faster because you dont have that weight for example), then its really a very boring system.

Since we only get unlocks and no real specialization/customization/uniqueness with our characters, the only thing to keep stuff interesting is loadouts on your toon and vehicle, so i hope they get it right.

engines: top speed, or acceleration

Is there not going to be a hybrid option?

He has mentioned things like being able to go for more torque at a loss of speed if your in a hilly region, but has never mentioned if its 1 option or incremental.

*edit and now I see what you did there
