I don't like the new Ursa Rover design

[AstroSam]

While we are talking about the Carrack and when will be the release date, I'm becoming a little bit frightened that she finally could not look like she was announced to look.

Its coming to me because of the new design of the Ursa Rover - its just terrible!!! Where is the charakter of the vehicle, the future-like look, the coolness? Its all gone!

Remember: this is it what the Ursa Rover was meant to look like:

And this is its current, final design:

Its just....CRAP!! If there would be Logo like "Dacia" or "Renault" with a "1.2 ecogreen motor" emblem on it I wouldn't even wonder about!

If there has been a disappointment during the GamesCom presentation, this is it, my personal Star Citizen lowlight 2016.

And this is, where my [CONCERN] arises - I hope, really, really, really, really hope that they won't redesign the layout of the Carrack as they now did with the Rover. Don't you dare, CIG...!

If this were an eye exam I would definitely pick number one

I'm guessing it was a space issue. The Ursa as seen in picture 1 probably wouldn't fit in the Connie Aquila due to its width and perhaps length.

Remember that the Carrack originally comes with the Lynx rover, whatever that ends up being.

Overall though I do agree. The Ursa was very lackluster imo. Maybe just redo the cab to look more like picture 1?

The first one looks nice, But it doesnt have really good field of view from a exploration stand point or look like it has cargo space. With the new URSA you get a way better view and a little more junk in the trunk. I can see them adding in armored APCs like the first picture or even tanks or mobile anti air/space. The Ursa is like a like scout Humvee with a 50cal on it.

The windshield on the original design is not feasible for FOV

Mass Effect MAKO - that was a dream of a design!

I'm disagree. The first design has had enough windows:

Plus there is a saying: style over substance. CIG should not only follow the most "possible" design but keep an eye on coolness and style. Because style pushes the sales numbers, and finally we are talking about a computer game, or am I wrong?

YES baby , hahaha, cool stuff! :D

I was hoping this would happen so we could protect our beer

I like the new one, also I am one of the people that believes the carrack will be getting bigger when its released to us so I dont see an issue with it fitting :)

oooh I like. You know I bet we will have at least a few cool rovers/vehicles that we can take with us. I dont see them limiting it to only two, so you might get something like this :P

My words, love, my words. Hell of a vehicle - would've tripled the sales number if CIG has matched *that* design. :D

 

[Kremlin Kommander]

look familiar?

At all has to start somewhere.

Are we sure that the rover in the 3.0 demo was the Ursa?

 

[Beerjerker]

In both camps I think. I like how the old design was a convertible with a roll cage shaped similar to the other Connies' bridges. Maybe this hints that Aquila will have much different bridge planned? Also, with the scuttlebutt about planetary storms, possibly hazardous space storms, convertible might not be wise.
I liked the little peek at the inside (couldn't find screenshot easily). I like how it had drop down seats over magnetic floors so it could easily swap from passengers to cargo space.

Are we sure that the rover in the 3.0 demo was the Ursa?

Pretty sure, because the Ursa went on sale after the reveal.

I think the basic design will not much vary finally.
The Ursa - in my understanding - is the "military/explorer" variant which comes with the Aquila.
The Lynx then will be the luxury variant which comes with the Phoenix.

 

[Captain Call]

the Rover they showed in the 3.0 demo appears to very weak on survivability in hostile environment - looks alike a Gray Cat covered with skin - hope they come up with much more durable vehicle to explore a planet surface

As long as it has more space for beer in the back, it looks OK to me...

at least it isn't a Prius
