The kbot to vehicle balance should be better now. Also I am curious to see how the new valkyrie's will work out.

I thought the e stor build time was the issue.

! v1.53 !

the buildtime is very high, but I think it's more interesting this way.

forgot to mention wat I was talking about XD
(thuds build time is fast and peewee / ak is slower not that I mind)

Ummm... if the truck can't refuel planes, what's the point of it? Transporting ground units with ground units is well... retarded

The ground transport can be used to move transportable turrets around. It's also faster than Pillagers and Levelers so you can move those around quicker. It also loads and unloads almost instantly which allows for combat drops and quickly retrieving units which are about to be destroyed.

Is it supposed to transport just one of any type of unit (even infantry KBOTs), thor?

It's lack of health prevents it from being a safe placed for units to run toward.
It is also too slow to get out of combat fast enough for the purpose

Why did you buff thuds and hammers? They're already the spammiest units in the game!

Levelers man, use levelers.

Or use hellfish, if you happen to be Arm.

the ground transport is just supposed to be a way for core to move turrets around. If there were a way to allow it to carry 6 infantry or 1 turret, that would be better. I guess using mass as the limit and making it higher for the turrets could make that possible.
