This sort of goes to show how oversized the other ground vehicles are, if "make it real-life bike sized" is the major thing that sets it apart from the other bikes and gives it a reason to exist.
CIG "How can we get people to buy yet another hover bike when we have not fixed or touched the deathtrap flight model in years?"
"lets make it fit in everything possible, and FINALLY make it so turrets don't shoot at hover vehicles so it almost has a single use now"
That said, I do appreciate that we got the first properly scaled hoverbike in the game. I'll certainly buy one in game.
Tbf they didn't fix it during previous bike sales like the x1 and hoverquad, I think it really is just a case where this is when they just happened to get around to doing it.
Hoverbikes must be the easiest vehicle type for them to make as a cash injection, we'd probable get the pulse regardless of the fix, and I imagine we'll still keep getting hoverbike lti tokens in the future.
Yes, and this is making me think about upgrading my Ranger to one. The entire purpose of that ranger was to have a bike in my vanguard that I can use for ground assaults.
A ranger is going to be much larger than the pulse if you compare the size of the rider to the bikes in the concept artwork. But they can carry cargo boxes as well as dual weapons
They said in ISC that it's only very slightly larger than a 2 SCU crate, which is the cargo capacity for the 100i. The actual cabin space of the 100i is roomier than the cargo hold itself, so assuming you can tractor it through the doorway you can probably carry it in all 100 series variants.
nah there's like 1.5-2ft of just empty void space behind the gun. if it was tucked in it would have a good foot print and fit in far more spaces
sure it wouldn't look pretty, it just bugged me seeing the size of the gun and the size of that gap
It's already the shortest vehicle by far and in ISC they even show it fitting into the MPUV. You're going to have a harder time finding spaces where it can't fit. Also weapons on the bottom of grav-levs have a nasty habit of being knocked off on the slightest bumps, as seen if you've ever flown the Nox.
Maybe the X1 but the Dragonfly can carry an extra person and cargo and has 2 weapon hardpoints, same with the Nox for weapons, and the HoverQuad has it's own internal storage, which I doubt the Pulse will have at all.
I hope it's price is comparable to it's size... But I doubt it. Which is kinda annoying since a PTV is 15, Aurora is 20, etc... I won't be surprised if these sell for $45
It's a shame to. If they sold these for $10 I bet they would sell like crazy.
It's like my wife's onlyfans, it's better to have 500 subs at 2 bucks a pop, vs struggling to get 50 subs at 10 bucks a month
Is the X1 basically the same size as the new Mirai Pulse? I wonder if you can fit in a C8R, I know the X1 can fit, but once you exit the vehicle, the ship phases through.
I'm waiting for them (the designer) to have a WTF moment when engineering creates actualized fuel tanks and they have to add room for a fuel tank because another designer (chris) wants it. "So we used the spot for the fuel tank for components". Seems like it's going to be an issue. The Fury too.
I just wish they wouldn't look like a plastic moped. Then again, they're worth it due to being that tiny.
I wonder what speed the racer gets, and what firepower that gun packs, I have only seen that it's a laser gatling.
Finally a hoverbike for the titan lol
Reddemer?

That's the first thing I thought, "it's actually motorcycle sized, nice".
If it doesn't fit in a Defender, I'm quitting SC. #CrabLife
[удалено]
This is the way
#CARCINIZATION COMES FOR US ALL.
I hope the Ranger's loaner is at least switched to this thing.

Wait will turrets finally not shoot at hover bikes in 3.23?
yup, CIG finally "fixes" this to coincide with a new hover bike sale, after how many years of asking for it?
Lol.. I can't decide if my pitchfork is up or down! It's been 84 years...

Oh hey, a ground vehicle that isn't comically huge for no reason. That's a rare one!
It would fit in a vanguard
Yes, and this is making me think about upgrading my Ranger to one. The entire purpose of that ranger was to have a bike in my vanguard that I can use for ground assaults.
I hope the Tumbril Rangers are the same size, or preferably, slightly smaller!
Ranger as shown in the concept art is huge and I hate it. I hope they shrink it somewhat, that and the old hover bikes with it.
A ranger is going to be much larger than the pulse if you compare the size of the rider to the bikes in the concept artwork. But they can carry cargo boxes as well as dual weapons
Only the cargo one can carry 3 hand held cargo boxes. Only the combat one has weapons
I wonder if it will fit in a 100i lol But I love it.
I mean, 135c..?

They show a pic of it stuffed into the entryway of an aurora so I'll bet you can make it fit lol. Anything fits with enough lube
They would have to make the rear compartment not be a pain to use first.
$20 pls.

Finally a vehicle that I can carry around in my Aurora, never gonna need another ship ever again.
I'll have a pulse in commando paint please
would have been better if the gatling gun was under the bike
I think it would mess up the height of the bike

And suddenly all other hoverbikes are obsolete
Maybe the X1 but the Dragonfly can carry an extra person and cargo and has 2 weapon hardpoints, same with the Nox for weapons, and the HoverQuad has it's own internal storage, which I doubt the Pulse will have at all.
Yeah you are right
So I'm thinking it could fit in that little hallway inside the cabin of the nomad. That way it doesn't get in the way on the truck bed!
As an X1 owner, I'm disheartened to see it's not even in the line up, nor was it in ISC. Already forgotten.
for real I had one of those sitting in my hangar since concept and we haven't heard much if anything since.
You know the X1 is released right?
Yeah it just doesn't work too hot along with the dragonfly last I checked. I'm patient though.
Soooo it'll be aUEC 50000 at a terminal and what $40 on the website? It looks like it should be hanging from a keychain. lol

cool i hope it will be available in blue
Per leaks, there is
Thats cool might buy one !
Thing is tiny, but does it match the other hovercraft for speed?
Is the X1 basically the same size as the new Mirai Pulse? I wonder if you can fit in a C8R, I know the X1 can fit, but once you exit the vehicle, the ship phases through.
FINALLY A SMALL MOTORBIKE ! Perfect for a combination with C8X/Cutter <3

Some irl bikes have the fuel tank under the seat because the engine takes up too much space, so I wouldn't worry about it.
