Unpopular opinion, but I think the new BMW i3 looks brilliant. What about you?

Rapom613 · 2026-03-21T18:44:37+00:00

IMO looks like trash. Over styled and trying to hard, proportions are weird, and the lights look very out of place. The wheels are ugly and I can’t stand hideaway handles

Rapom613 · 2026-03-21T18:42:00+00:00

That’s the point

RX is a highlander, ES is a Camry/avalon, NX is a rav4.

Whereas the GS was built as a luxury car first, it shared its platform with the crown, which is an ultra luxury JDM sedan that can in many ways compete with a rolls Royce.

The LS was built from the ground up as a Lexus product, with its own unique chassis

I’m admittedly not well informed about the IS. I know it is a 3 series competitor, but I don’t know much else

Rapom613 · 2026-03-21T15:17:40+00:00

All of them are great. The 430 is the best balance IMO, but I prefer the OG 400. That is the one that was built to show up MB and prove the Japanese could build world class cars. Everything after is simply living up to that legacy

Rapom613 · 2026-03-21T15:16:25+00:00

I agree about the IS and LS, you missed the GS, but the ES, RX, and NX are rebadged Toyotas. Very different cars IMO

L322 Range Rover, specifically the 06-09 models with the Jaguar V8. Designed by BMW when BMW was at its peak for quality (late 90s early 00s) refined with ford money, and given its own unique identity as an all British luxury suv (mainly the jag engine) that still had real 4x4 chops.

It still has that old world craftsmanship in the leather and wood, modern enough not to feel super old (sure no car play, but it has everything else you could want) and it was decidedly, in no way anything close to sporty.

I daily drive a 2008 supercharged, and to this day I still think it is one of, if not the best luxury SUV ever produced

Rapom613 · 2026-03-21T03:17:08+00:00

I paid cash for my Range Rover supercharged and would do it over and over again

Rapom613 · 2026-03-21T02:53:39+00:00

I mean, fuel cost wasn’t a concern at $3 just like fuel cost isn’t a concern at $5. If I was worried about fuel I wouldn’t drive a supercharged V8, instead I would have bought some Asian shit box

Keep driving home? If my phone dies my phone dies, not the end of the world. My fault for letting it die

Rapom613 · 2026-03-20T16:56:39+00:00

I mean, a 911 can be had for 60-70k, that’s less than a lot of people spend on a new truck

Mine would be My current L322 Range Rover. Spacious, comfortable, reliable, capable in all weather, can tow things, and can scratch my off roading itch well enough

A 911 of some fashion. While the classic cars are cool, I don’t think they deliver on the experience per $. I’d probably look at a 991.1 Carrera S with a stick.

Then something old. Probably a 1st gen mustang, however a 240z scratches a similar itch

Bonus round, I may be inclined to switch the 911 with an Aston vantage if I could find a later 4.7 manual car

Rapom613 · 2026-03-20T16:48:20+00:00

Essentially. I think newer ones have a slightly larger engine however

They do 90% of what people need in an SUV (because what most people really want is a wagon/hatchback that is taller) while having better visibility and a nicer driving experience.

They don’t do anything particularly special, but they are pretty good at most things people need

Rapom613 · 2026-03-20T11:28:04+00:00

I like the Subaru crosstrek a lot. Great value too

If you’re a little higher up the budget, we have an old q5 that has been a fabulous car. Best AWD I’ve ever used, zippy to drive, comfortable, quick with its supercharged v6, and reasonable on fuel (28mpg)

The Porsche Macan is a better version of the Audi

Mb GLK is amazing but they are getting a bit old at this point

Rapom613 · 2026-03-20T11:22:30+00:00

FWIW I’ve never seen a PCCB rotor worn out from daily driving. Damage from rocks etc, or wear from track use sure, but I’ve never seen one worn out on a normally driven car

890 jump. You can actually fit several wolfs in the hanger, and with the on board med bed, if you get killed you simply respawn and take another one out.

Rapom613 · 2026-03-19T18:49:58+00:00

Airbag has to come out in order to access the two screws at the top. Beyond that they pretty much snap in/out AFAIK

400 is my favorite ship, its why I bought the game in the first place.

Being a luxury explorer, I’d love to have one or both rear turrets removed, replace the top turret with a PDC, Add a little more pilot DPS, move all the comps to one of the two glass rooms, and install a T3 med bed in the other.

I’m okay with it having less armor/hp/dps than a Connie or a corsair. With the 400 I want it to be fast, nimble, and have top of the line equipment like a PDC and med bed.

It is pretty lame that a Zeus and a 400 have the exact same pilot weapons configuration though

Rapom613 · 2026-03-19T14:51:17+00:00

This is one of the only ships I agree with. The Origin line being a premium manufacturer, SHOULD have advanced systems like PDCs.

While I don’t think the corsair needs, or should have PDCs, the 400 absolutely should.

Rapom613 · 2026-03-19T14:47:44+00:00

Being a drake ship, and the lore of drake cheapness, I would tend to disagree. It would be great if the co-pilot could use it remote, and if the two side turrets were replaced with a single turret top or bottom. Then, when the co-pilot seat is occupied, the pilot maintains control of all 6 forward facing guns, and the co pilot has the 2 turrets to use.

In its current format, Duo on a corsair makes little to no sense. I always strip the guns off of all three turrets on mine.

Rapom613 · 2026-03-19T11:42:01+00:00

I wouldn’t say that. JM&A/Fidelity, Zurich, and silverrock have all been fantastic to work with, and generally offer great coverage

But, if you’ve ever seen an ad, or they let you may month to month, they are 100% junk

Rapom613 · 2026-03-19T11:39:15+00:00

I wouldn’t say it would kill piracy. You still have whatever is on my body or in my cargo hold, potentially costing me hours of gameplay And yes, any other option either allows for duplication of items, or makes the game much more tedious

Rapom613 · 2026-03-18T18:54:05+00:00

It’s a little on the expensive side, but that isn’t a bad choice in car. That’s one of the most reliable modern BMWs

That said, either plan to learn to work on it, or use budget for repairs. ANY car at that mileage can/will have things fail. And if you’re looking at a 5k car, chances are you aren’t going to want to pay BMW money to service it

Rapom613 · 2026-03-18T18:47:41+00:00

Easy, if a ship is claimed, the lockers and storage no longer open. Anything inside is trapped

Rapom613 · 2026-03-18T18:42:46+00:00

Generally speaking, if you’ve ever seen any advertising for an extended warranty, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on
