It’s weird that you’re given the only functional ground vehicle in this universe. You don’t see other civilians or even enemies with their own.

Adding one vehicle is like barely addressing a third of the gap in ground transport. You need to start your journey with it, you can’t find something to bring you back, you can’t summon it to your location, you can’t hijack an enemy one, can’t have a chase throughout the otherwise empty landscape.

With the difficulty in traversal (thanks to the grid-like distribution of rocky outcrops on every planet’s surface), you really don’t end up using it much after playing with it for the first time. I can’t fault a procedutally generated terrain system for not having a road network though.

I also find it amusing that the buggy seems to have a small bed at the back, but you can’t secure any objects in there. Inanimate objects do have collisions, curiously enough. I wonder if they planned to use that.
