my personal opinion, no offense to Freeza, is that there has been too much watching of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back, or that someone has far too much a liking for Plymouths spiders. Multi-ped vehicles would simply be of the arachnid class, no?
its not that I'm against change, but one of the major things that I like about OP2, is that the vehicle classes don't change that much, save for Plymouth's addition of the arachnid class, adn the different weapon turrets. they both have ConVecs, and they both have Cargo trucks and etc. etc. its really easy to go from Eden, to Plymouth, then back to Eden without forgetting what does what when. Having Maesis only have vehicles of the arachnid class would make it terminally difficult for n00bies be bale to remember what the equivalent of a ConVec is, or what the equivalent of a cargo truck is, or whatever. I agree, that there should definitely be more of the arachnid class, potentially some of which available only to Maesis while others to Plymouth, but I dont think that there should be a colony which has ONLY vehicles of the Arachnid class.. especially since their only good thing is that they cannot be EMP'd and can be rapid-spawned for a relatively cheep price.
