It also creates another difference between the G12 and the RSI Ursa Rover.\n\n\nDoes the G12 fit on a Mercury Star Runner?\nYes. The aim is that anywhere an Ursa Rover can go, the G12 can go. The width differences are discussed in question eight.\n\n\nIf the base model has a turret, seats for two, and only two SCU, how is this a competitor to the Ursa?\nLike with any of our vehicles, we want to provide choice and options between competitors rather than having one simply be better than the another. The trade-off in SCU capacity and seats is countered by the G12 being faster (closer to the speed of the Tumbril Cyclone than the Ursa). The Ursa is more durable and better for rugged terrain\/environments; a more hardcore explorer if you will. The G12 series is better for less-demanding exploration but still provides four-wheel-drive and a sealed cabin. When we started the design process, we associated the two to real-world off-roaders: the Ursa being more like a traditional Jeep and the G12 being more like a Range Rover. Both are absolutely capable off-road vehicles, but the overall experience differs.\n\n\nWhat ships already contain a G12 series vehicle, and can that vehicle be upgraded to a G12r or G12a version?\nThe Origin G12 (previously referred to as the Origin Rover) is standard equipment on the Origin 600i Explorer. All existing 600i pledges have been converted to include the G12. Players with both a 600i Explorer and standalone G12 will be able to upgrade the standalone G12 while keeping the original base vehicle from the 600i.\n\n\nWill it have four-wheel drive or other \u201coff-road\u201d features to enable it to recover from flipping over or getting stuck on terrain?\nThe G12 series is four-wheel-drive as standard and should be as capable, but not as durable in all circumstances, as other rovers.\n\n\nCan the missile launchers on the G12a target ground vehicles?\nYes. Anything that can be selected can be targeted and fired at with the missile launchers.\n\n\nThe width of the G12 series is listed in the brochure\/ship matrix as 5.8m. This is wider than the 4-SCU-wide (5m) Ursa footprint. Is this an error and, more importantly, does the G12 series fit anywhere an Ursa can be stored?\nIn terms of in-ship storage, the aim was always to have these vehicles interchangeable. So, our goal was to have it be the same width as the Ursa Rover. The Ursa is actually somewhere between 5.2 and 5.5m wide depending on the suspension flex and mudguards, so while the G12 is listed as 5.8m, it\u2019s generally between 5.5 to 5.7m when accounting for flex. We\u2019ll ensure both have the same footprint when the G12 hits production so they fit in the same vehicles.\n\n\nWhat is a hypothetical use case for EMP on the racing model?\nIn non-racing scenarios, the EMP will be useful for self-defense by giving you the chance to escape aggressors. When racing, it can be used to disable competitors for a period of time to gain an advantage.\n\n\nWill the tires on the different G12 models have different handling characteristics on different terrain? For example, it looks like the racing model has slicker tires than the base G12. I\u2019m wondering if they will have less traction in muddy or rough terrain and, if so, will we be able to swap tires between models?\nThe tires will provide different handling characteristics and the aim is for these to be swappable between variants. A similar set of tire upgrades would be available for other ground vehicles, much like upgradeable thruster sets on spaceships.\n\n\nIs there any opportunity for a future variant that instead of a turret has sensors for exploration?\nThere are no plans for any more variants of the G12. However, we\u2019ll keep this in mind if there are in the future.\n\n\nHow does the armor of the G12 variants compare to the armor of the Ursa Rover?\nIt\u2019s hard to provide an on-paper equivalent of armor between two vehicles, but the Ursa rover is generally better armored (and slower as a result). The G12a is the most armored of the series but is still slightly less durable than a stock Ursa.\n\n\nWhat defensive measures does the combat rover have?\nThe G12a comes equipped with the same countermeasures as our spaceships, which is currently a unique feature among ground vehicles. This will allow owners to dispense flares\/chaff to shake off missiles and torpedoes as well as obscure scanning and detection.\n\n\nWill the Racer have thrusters or jump jets like the Cyclone racer supposedly does?\nThe G12r comes with a boost functionality to allow a short period of higher top speed.\n\n\nWill there be space in the G12 for an extra suit we can equip inside (one capable of withstanding extreme temperature)? Or can we drive in a bigger, bulkier suit?\nThere is no space for a suit locker (only weapon racks) inside the G12 as the interior is pretty much limited to the cockpit and seating. However, as the vehicle is a sealed environment, you\u2019ll be able to drive around in extreme temperatures in regular clothing if you wish.\n\n\n\nDisclaimer\nThe answers accurately reflect development\u2019s intentions at the time of writing, but the company and development team reserve the right to adapt, improve, or change feature and ship designs in response to feedback, playtesting, design revisions, or other considerations to improve balance or the quality of the game overall.","de_DE":"FRAGEN UND ANTWORTEN: Herkunft G12-Rover\n\nIm Anschluss an die Konzeptfreigabe des Origin G12 Rovers haben wir Ihre von der Gemeinschaft gestellten Fragen an unsere Designer weitergeleitet, um Ihnen weitere Informationen \u00fcber den k\u00fcrzlich enth\u00fcllten Rover zu geben.\n\n\nWerden Sie in der Lage sein, die Raketen der G12a durch einen traditionellen Gesch\u00fctzturm zu ersetzen?\nNein. Der Raketenwerfer der G12a ist eine ma\u00dfgeschneiderte, integrierte L\u00f6sung, die nicht gegen einen traditionellen Turm ausgetauscht werden kann.\n\n\nWelche Absicht steckt hinter dem sekund\u00e4ren Computer?\nDer sekund\u00e4re Computer wird es dem G12 erm\u00f6glichen, von der zuk\u00fcnftigen Computer-Blade-Funktionalit\u00e4t zu profitieren. Er schafft auch einen weiteren Unterschied zwischen dem G12 und dem RSI Ursa Rover.\n\n\nPasst der G12 auf einen Mercury Star Runner?\nJa, das Ziel ist, dass der G12 \u00fcberall dorthin passt, wo ein Ursa Rover hinfahren kann. Die Unterschiede in der Breite werden in Frage acht er\u00f6rtert.\n\n\nWenn das Basismodell einen Turm, Sitzpl\u00e4tze f\u00fcr zwei Personen und nur zwei SCU hat, wie kann es dann ein Konkurrent des Ursa sein?\nWie bei jedem unserer Fahrzeuge wollen wir Wahlm\u00f6glichkeiten und Optionen zwischen den Konkurrenten bieten, anstatt dass einfach einer besser als der andere ist. Dem Kompromiss bei der SCU-Kapazit\u00e4t und den Sitzen wird dadurch entgegengewirkt, dass der G12 schneller ist (n\u00e4her an der Geschwindigkeit des Zyklons Tumbril als der Ursa). Der Ursa ist haltbarer und besser f\u00fcr unwegsames Gel\u00e4nde\/Umgebungen geeignet; er ist ein h\u00e4rterer Entdecker, wenn Sie so wollen. Die G12-Serie ist besser f\u00fcr weniger anspruchsvolle Erkundungen geeignet, bietet aber dennoch Allradantrieb und eine abgedichtete Kabine. Als wir mit dem Designprozess begannen, haben wir die beiden mit realen Gel\u00e4ndewagen in Verbindung gebracht: der Ursa \u00e4hnelt eher einem traditionellen Jeep und der G12 eher einem Range Rover. Beide sind absolut f\u00e4hige Gel\u00e4ndefahrzeuge, aber das Gesamterlebnis ist unterschiedlich.\n\n\nWelche Schiffe enthalten bereits ein Fahrzeug der Baureihe G12, und kann dieses Fahrzeug auf eine G12r- oder G12a-Version aufger\u00fcstet werden?\nDer Origin G12 (fr\u00fcher als Origin Rover bezeichnet) geh\u00f6rt zur Standardausr\u00fcstung des Origin 600i Explorer. Alle vorhandenen 600i-Zusagen wurden umgewandelt, um den G12 aufzunehmen. Spieler, die sowohl einen 600i Explorer als auch einen eigenst\u00e4ndigen G12 besitzen, k\u00f6nnen den eigenst\u00e4ndigen G12 aufr\u00fcsten, w\u00e4hrend das urspr\u00fcngliche Basisfahrzeug des 600i beibehalten wird.\n\n\nWird er einen Allradantrieb oder andere \"Off-Road\"-Funktionen haben, damit er sich vom Umkippen oder Steckenbleiben im Gel\u00e4nde erholen kann?\nDie G12-Serie ist serienm\u00e4\u00dfig mit Allradantrieb ausgestattet und sollte genauso leistungsf\u00e4hig, aber nicht unter allen Umst\u00e4nden so haltbar sein wie andere Rover.\n\n\nK\u00f6nnen die Raketenwerfer auf den G12a-Bodenfahrzeugen zielen?\nJa. Alles, was ausgew\u00e4hlt werden kann, kann mit den Raketenwerfern anvisiert und beschossen werden.\n\n\nDie Breite der G12-Serie wird in der Brosch\u00fcre\/Schiffsmatrix mit 5,8 m angegeben. Dies ist breiter als die 4-SCU-breite (5m) Ursa-Fl\u00e4che. Handelt es sich hierbei um einen Fehler, und, was noch wichtiger ist, passt die G12-Serie \u00fcberall dort hin, wo ein Ursa gelagert werden kann?\nWas die Lagerung im Schiff betrifft, so war es immer das Ziel, diese Fahrzeuge austauschbar zu machen. Unser Ziel war es also, dass er dieselbe Breite wie der Ursa Rover hat. Der Ursa ist je nach Aufh\u00e4ngungsflex und Kotfl\u00fcgeln zwischen 5,2 und 5,5 m breit. W\u00e4hrend der G12 mit 5,8 m angegeben wird, liegt die Breite bei Ber\u00fccksichtigung des Flexes im Allgemeinen zwischen 5,5 und 5,7 m. Wir werden sicherstellen, dass beide die gleiche Grundfl\u00e4che haben, wenn der G12 in die Produktion geht, damit sie in die gleichen Fahrzeuge passen.\n\n\nWas ist ein hypothetischer Anwendungsfall f\u00fcr EMP am Rennmodell?\nIn nicht-rennsportlichen Szenarien wird der EMP zur Selbstverteidigung n\u00fctzlich sein, indem er Ihnen die M\u00f6glichkeit gibt, Aggressoren zu entkommen. Im Rennsport kann er dazu verwendet werden, Konkurrenten f\u00fcr eine gewisse Zeit au\u00dfer Gefecht zu setzen, um sich einen Vorteil zu verschaffen.\n\n\nWerden die Reifen der verschiedenen G12-Modelle auf unterschiedlichem Gel\u00e4nde unterschiedliche Handlingeigenschaften haben? Zum Beispiel sieht es so aus, dass das Rennmodell Slicker-Reifen hat als der Basis-G12. Ich frage mich, ob sie auf matschigem oder unebenem Gel\u00e4nde weniger Traktion haben werden, und wenn ja, werden wir die Reifen zwischen den Modellen austauschen k\u00f6nnen?\nDie Reifen werden unterschiedliche Handlingeigenschaften aufweisen, und das Ziel ist, dass diese zwischen den Varianten austauschbar sind. Ein \u00e4hnlicher Satz von Reifen-Upgrades w\u00e4re auch f\u00fcr andere Bodenfahrzeuge erh\u00e4ltlich, \u00e4hnlich wie die aufr\u00fcstbaren Schubd\u00fcsens\u00e4tze bei Raumschiffen.\n\n\nGibt es eine M\u00f6glichkeit f\u00fcr eine zuk\u00fcnftige Variante, die statt eines Turms Sensoren zur Erkundung hat?\nEs gibt keine Pl\u00e4ne f\u00fcr weitere Varianten der G12. Wir werden dies jedoch im Auge behalten, falls es in Zukunft eine geben sollte.\n\n\nWie verh\u00e4lt sich die Panzerung der G12-Varianten im Vergleich zur Panzerung des Ursa Rovers?\nEs ist schwierig, ein Panzer\u00e4quivalent auf Papier zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen bereitzustellen, aber der Ursa Rover ist im Allgemeinen besser gepanzert (und daher langsamer). Der G12a ist der am st\u00e4rksten gepanzerte der Serie, aber er ist immer noch etwas weniger haltbar als ein Ursa aus dem Lagerbestand.\n\n\nWelche Abwehrmassnahmen hat der Kampfrover?\nDer G12a ist mit den gleichen Gegenma\u00dfnahmen ausgestattet wie unsere Raumschiffe, was unter den Bodenfahrzeugen derzeit ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal darstellt. Dies erm\u00f6glicht es den Besitzern, Fackeln\/Spreu auszugeben, um Raketen und Torpedos abzusch\u00fctteln, sowie das Scannen und Aufsp\u00fcren zu verbergen.\n\n\nWird der Racer Strahltriebwerke oder Spr\u00fchd\u00fcsen haben, wie es der Cyclone-Racer angeblich hat?\nDie G12r ist mit einer Boost-Funktion ausgestattet, um f\u00fcr kurze Zeit eine h\u00f6here H\u00f6chstgeschwindigkeit zu erm\u00f6glichen.\n\n\nWird es im G12 Platz f\u00fcr einen zus\u00e4tzlichen Anzug geben, den wir innen ausstatten k\u00f6nnen (einen, der extremen Temperaturen standhalten kann)? Oder k\u00f6nnen wir in einem gr\u00f6sseren, volumin\u00f6seren Anzug fahren?\nIm Inneren des G12 ist kein Platz f\u00fcr ein Anzugfach (nur Waffenregale), da der Innenraum ziemlich auf das Cockpit und die Sitze beschr\u00e4nkt ist. Da es sich bei dem Fahrzeug jedoch um eine abgedichtete Umgebung handelt, k\u00f6nnen Sie bei extremen Temperaturen in normaler Kleidung herumfahren, wenn Sie dies w\u00fcnschen.\n\n\nHaftungsausschluss\nDie Antworten geben die Absichten der Entwicklung zum Zeitpunkt des Verfassens dieses Artikels genau wieder, aber das Unternehmen und das Entwicklungsteam behalten sich das Recht vor, Funktionen und Schiffsdesigns als Reaktion auf Feedback, Spieltests, Design\u00fcberarbeitungen oder andere \u00dcberlegungen anzupassen, zu verbessern oder zu \u00e4ndern, um die Ausgewogenheit oder die Qualit\u00e4t des Spiels insgesamt zu verbessern.","zh_CN":"Q&A: Origin G12 Rover\n\nFollowing the concept release of the Origin G12 Rover, we took your community-voted questions to our designers to provide you with more information on the recently unveiled rover.\n\n\nWill you be able to replace the G12a\u2019s missiles with a traditional turret?\nNo. The G12a\u2019s missile launcher is a bespoke, integrated solution that cannot be exchanged for a traditional turret.\n\n\nWhat is the intent behind the secondary computer?\nThe secondary computer will allow the G12 to benefit from future computer-blade functionality.
