Update Speculation thread

If you have to make sure people know it’s speculation by writing “speculation” it’s probably not speculation

 

Of time and potential.

It could have been a far more interesting vehicle but sadly, it's just a Pigeon with a different body and a shorter frame.

 

Yep, technical advancements in BeamNG happen very often (almost every update I can remember and think of) so twincharging is very possible to be entering the game.
AWD would be very useful to a Covet Wagon, a Covet Minivan and, of course, to a mid-engined Covet rally car baby, I'm really looking forward to see it and drive it!!
Also, about body styles, don't forget the CR-X one!

Also, about aerodynamics, we already have functional aerodynamics in BeamNG (remember the fact that the giant rear wing of the Group 5 Bolide flexes under air pressure plus the automatic rear wing of the SBR4 cuts some top speed at its highest "Sport+" position plus the Nomi front spoilers and rear wings actually push the cars down) but I agree with everyone saying it needs further development and exploitation.

 

Man y’all gotta stop crying about the wigeon. Everyone wants something different. If that’s what the devs made so be it. It’s not the only car they made.

 

agreed

 

I disagree, having a single front wheel gives it the character we've known ever since it got in the game! Plus it's a bit difficult rolling over the Pigeon because it's almost like a Daruma toy!
But yes, a Pigeon/Wigeon competitor with a single rear wheel would be very interesting, for seeing the advantages and disadvantages of each setup!

 

The fact that it's built on the Pigeon chassis meant that they could add it along side the pigeon as a fun partner without too much time and work, we got it literally the next update after the Wendover and it didn't affect the time of the Bastion release at all so I don't see how it's a waste

 

I have legit forget this forum existed until oday

 

i like the stuff went from, people exicited that the update is almost done to just insulting the poor wigeon

 

One can have whatever opinion they want but I believe you're wrong on this one because they're very fun vehicles to play with. Plus, they're results of one of the core values of BeamNG: offering a variety of different vehicles for every taste and purpose! They may share all the core parts, but the Pigeon and Wigeon are still two different vehicles: the Pigeon is more of a light commercial vehicle while the Wigeon is a city car for the downtown streets.
Plus the parts that make them different from one another (the glass doors, the interior and the body design of the Wigeon, with the pop-up headlights) have tons of character and they also define their aforementioned purposes!

That 600cc Inline-3 was a thrashy little monster. If a motorcycle ever gets added in BeamNG, this can be a very good candidate for a powertrain!

 

would beam ever implement a motorcycle?

 

Nothing is certain but ok, one can hope!

 

is it even possible?

 

Look to your Left here is a Wigeon, Look to your Right here is a Wigeon

 

Welcome to the update speculation thread! You may notice that we aren't speculating anything right now. That's because we haven't gotten a teaser in a month and we are actively declining in mental stability

 

I'm just here to show support for the Wigeon. Sure it isn't my type of vehicle but I appreciate that it's in game and consider it to be unique and add something to the game.

 

Epicly edited with apple

 

Judging by the handling instability (by way of speed wobbles) of the motorcycle mods we've seen, I'd say it isn't possible. But ok, let's not be preoccupied.

 

A motorcycle would a really big project for BeamNG, I can't even imagine the amount of things they would need to add or rework to even make it driveable

 

anything new in the Tumblr? any teasers? or anything new?
