Vehicles

2k5 has always had a fairly large number of coded vehicles, ranging from Shuttles to Hovercraft to Submersibles, and more. Everything but the flagships are freely available to characters with the Pilot ability.
*+vehicles - Brings up a list of vehicles in your faction, the vehicle type and where they are located.
== Usage ==
* Using a vehicle purely for transport purposes - Unlimited Use
* Using a vehicle as a combat object for a few rounds - Occasionally
==Rules and Etiquette==
* Do not use a vehicle to unbalance a scene or gain an unfair advantage over opponents. Please work cooperatively with the other team to ensure a vehicle is adding fun to a scene and not derailing it.
* Enemies may board a shuttle and attack its pilot - You are not immune to harm.
* If you have been recently damaged in combat (see: News Combat Damage) or are under IC restrictions to stay out of a fight, you can't bring a shuttle/vehicle to a scene.
* If you damage a shuttle in a combat scene, please try to find an ally equipped with the Construction ability to repair the damage you've done.
* Do not indiscriminately use the shuttle to Ram things.
== Types of Vehicles ==
===Flagships===
Flagships are (usually) massive spacecraft that serve as the leading vessels for factional fleets. Sometimes they are merely the most armed, or the most well-known, like the Olympic Flagship Swordfish. Role-playing within them is unlimited, however, engaging in battle with them requires TPstaff approval.
===Shuttles===
All factions can have up to five coded shuttles, which are all equipped with Flight, Space Flight and LR Radio.
===Ships===
The Earth Defense Command has aircraft carriers, but Cybertronians do as well!
===Submarines===
==Notable Vehicles==
== Vehicle Characteristics ==
Vehicles are relatively large, so they will be easier to shoot at if you are a regular-sized character.
Their large size will also make attacking with the shuttle relatively ineffective, but they do have a moderate no-size attack to defend themselves with.
Vehicles are particularly vulnerable to Explosive attacks, such as missiles.
Regular vehicles have a moderate Courage stat to reflect their inability to function at full capacity after receiving significant damage (They will receive the SCARED flag, negatively affecting their Accuracy and Agility).
== Upgrading Vehicles ==
It will be possible for players to pool AP to purchase improvements to faction-owned vehicles. You may not purchase your own personal vehicle.
