Looking for a term for “super vehicles” like airships, mega-tanks and mecha. Things that are only built by governments and factions, costing millions if not billions of credits.

  1. Jacob Ross Hmmm, not bad, I like the theme there. Though I’m looking for an overarching term to describe that “classification”, in the same way that Groundcars, Shuttles, Walkers and Bikes are all “Vehicles”. I fully admit that I may have written myself into a corner!

  2. Noah Doyle These are to Groundcars and Walkers what Starships are to Shuttles. Theoretically, you could use these rules to create a more granular Starship too.

    I’ve already got a Tier system built; these Super Vehicles have no limit of upgrades, and every 3 upgrades knocks it up one Tier (so Tier 2 Super Vehicle is a Class 4-6, a Tier 3 is a Class 7-9, etc). All upgrades scale with Tier (Turrets = 1 turret per Tier, Cargo Hold = 2 Cargo spaces per Tier, etc)

  3. Though perhaps Titans, Behemoth, Leviathan or something like that might be a cool classification of “omg why would you make something that big mobile”

  4. If you were leaning in that direction, I feel like Leviathan is a badass choice, although if I was going biblical like that I would be tempted to cast an eye towards other faith-based terminology (ie, something like Deva-Class).

  5. Almost all of these sounds like they’d be great names for a specific vehicle, instead of vehicles of a certain value range in general. I’d stick with ‘Vehicles’, and ‘Tiers’ within that.

  6. For now I ended up going the very boring route of “Greater Vehicles”. It’s about as flavorful as styrofoam, but at least it’s straight-forward and to-the-point. If something comes along that really catches my eye, I’ll reconsider.

    None the less, thanks for the suggestions all. At the very least it’s food for thought.
