This would basically just roll back the cruiser's stats to what they used to be before v70's changes kinda made it both weaker and stronger at the same time.

It really bothers me how much HP and regen it has now.
I also want the insta kill back, it was pretty hard to even do it in the first place w how little space you tend to have to speed up on most moons!

hmmmm, the HP never changed but the regen was buffed a massive amount, it regens nearly all of its HP super quickly, most sources of damage were also eliminated entirely

i feel like the insta-kill was removed for one main reason, when my truck had the insta-kill, it would one-tap the kiwi bird even if i went slow, and i doubt zeekerss would of wanted this, he most likely noticed when coding the bird and truck interactions

#

the removal of instakill is pretty much the only change i liked out of v70 since i feel like it made the truck more balanced

#

even on my version-55 car i removed the insta-kill

the rest of the changes were shit

#

the self upright feature, the small boost when changing gears and hitting the gas, the durability overbuffed, hp regen overbuffed

#

I just think that if im asking for a "bring back the old cruiser mod" reinstating the insta would make the most sense, don't wanna muddy up the idea by saying "oh yeah and also uh make this configurable and do such and such"

I have a clip of the cruiser singlehandedly killing 5 eyeless dogs while parked

#

zeekerss could of fixed the litany of known issues with the cruiser but he adds that shite instead

the self uprighting feature is self explanatory

#

it applies a passive force to keep the truck upright

#

the boost is weird and i don't like it

#

it also just doesn't make much sense to me

thin sandal
#

that's strange

robust osprey
#

it feels like zeekerss is dumbing down the car too much

#

while neglecting to fix any basic issues it has

robust osprey
#

it will attempt to correct its self

#

the issue with the cruiser is that the best way to use it is a tech that only works on a few moons

#

unlike the jetpack, which the best way to use it... is to use it

#

idk theres just a lot wrong with the cruiser

if you're talking about flying the car being the "best way" to use it, then i'd have to disagree with you. Even if we're talking base-game you can very much drive on alot of the vanilla moons, vow, march, offense, adamance, rend, dine, embrion and artifice are all drivable, offense being the worst out of the bunch but it is possible

||also, considering this is the modding discord server, you can also download moons specifically made for car use :) look at any of PowerFulls moons for example||

#

i just really dislike Cruiser meta, it's sad to see that the Cruiser is now just a glorified jetpack for much cheaper, it carries way more loot than a jetpack and it's much safer than a jetpack. there's no skill in it anymore. it's saddening to see people who truly believe the best, and only way to use the car is to fly it, because that's just not true at all. ||Cruiser meta/jumping also sucked all the fun out of the car :(||

#

it's why i recreated the version-55 car, it requires skill to drive, the only thing you can do with it IS drive, you can't fly, you can't even rock the dam thing nor heal it with weedkiller. it's fragile, unwieldy, and much less safer (more talking in the sense you die in collisions way easier) I've had alot of fun using it with my friends.

I goffered two inventories from the left side fire exit on March yesterday thanks to the cruiser, so it can be useful without needing to cruiser jump

#

Oh well I rarely find myself going to a lot of cruiser able moons

thin sandal
#

the fact it can be minmaxed doesn't entirely mean that it's useless otherwise imo!

summer axle
#

its useful but not really the best option so I don't see the need for the average player to use it

#

mainly cause of its handling and the fact that a lot of moons are bumpy or otherwise have a lot of obstacles from main/fire to the ship that cant be solved with just running there

#

This is the main problem with v70's cruiser

#

v69 cruiser would've fucking died halfway through this

My biggest problem with the cruiser is that I cant drive stick

#

make an automatic cruiser

robust osprey
#

i think people muddle up what a stick shift really is

#

stick shift is where you have to row through every forward gear manually with a clutch

#

an automatic is like park, reverse, neutral, drive etc, except the cc doesn't have neutral, low or any of the other gears most autos have. it's really simplified. autos also have no clutch, just gas and brake, like the cc

#

automatic on the left, manual/stick shift on the right for example
