Why do all of the Cyrene vehicles have sucky eco?

[Tal Maru]

As you can see from this chart I have created that all of Cyrene's vehicles have totally crap eco when compared to the Calypso variants.

Another discrepancy is that the Dragonfly which holds 2 people has the same fuel use and speed as the lancer which only holds 1 person.

Is this the intended balance of things or is this a mistake that was overlooked?
This beg's the question "Why should I bother buying Cyrene's vehicles when they are less effective then the VTOL from Calypso?

 

[Thanatos]

why to buy? cuz i like the look of those vehicles?

btw. dont use word "sucky" plz

So its 100% cool that the single seat Lancer has the same flight speed and oil use as the 7 seat Gungnir?

This is : crap, baloney, bunk, drivel, bunkum, claptrap, hogwash, poppycock, ridiculous, rigmarole, twaddle, feeble

Take your pick of a less offensive adjective.

Unusually I have to agree with Thanatos on this one. Spending all that time to work out the eco/decay of a vehicle takes the joy out of flying around in a lancer.

How about spending more time flying/driving around Cyrene instead of worrying about a few ped.

So here is the answer.
You trade fuel consumption,top speed; for more engine power "acceleration?" , SI , and armor values.
The dragonfly somehow carries more items/weight then the lancer even though it has 2 seats and the same stats otherwise.

I really do feel that some adjustment is needed.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the feedback on this, I think it's something can we can really look into.

Cheers,

Did you account for the Lancers submersible feature? Beside people who buy the dragonfly or lancer, dont really care about fuel economy.
