Need a more sci fi looking truck

[Sutty]

I do wish we could have a more sci - fi looking truck or different types of haulers in the future.

Optimus prime pulling cargo in space doesn't appeal much to me however the hauling cargo in space aspect does.

No no no, you don't get it. It's the American dream in space! Everything is America. Even outer space is America! And what would America be without their (conventional cab )trucks?

As far as thinking of future DLC options, it's an alright enough idea. There could be all kinds of different shaped rigs, from the more space-ship looking haulers like a round-corner triangle to look like an extension of the trailer, to bullet train engine looks, to the European truck flat nose look.
The funny thing is that the inside of the truck could hypothetically stay the same; it'd mostly be a cosmetic external appearance.

The options for official paid truck shape DLC and Steam Workshop are virtually endless. Especially since (so far) it's going to be a single player offline game. They could even sell new truck cabin DLC (even if some are planned for launch, they could always make more).

You wanna drive the Macy's Day Shrek balloon? Why not, it's your game. You wanna drive Thomas the Tank Engine? Why not? You wanna slap Marvel's the Green Goblin on the grill of your truck? Space X Falcon 9 rocket segment? Why not? Hatsune Miku truck? Whatever your imagination can come up with, so long as it fits in the hit box or whatever. Someone might even want to lean in to the Optimus Prime look are slap an Autobots logo on the grill.

It'd be up to the devs if they want to give players that power, of course. Would probably have to put up a disclaimer about how unofficial mods might prevent the game from running properly, and how they're not responsible for any potential trademark or copyright infringement caused by players using mods. Good idea though.

I had the same feeling! I get that this is liek american trucks in space :)
But the gameplay is really fun, but this whole "american truck" experiance feels kind of forced on it. I would love some more realistic trucks and maybe less "americanisation" haha

But i think thats just the theme of the game, so they wont change it.

the whole point of this is to be american which is what i like to see the old american semis being used instead of the ugly ones cause the old classic trucks are actually better looking and resembles america far more and them using american designed trucks makes more sense

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure this post is about cosmetic items.
It's not about making sense, it's about having fun.
For you, you don't want the skins, so don't use them.
For them, they sound like they'd enjoy choosing cosmetic items which play with the look of the truck.
You can both be happy with this. It's an offline single-player game. Them getting what they want has no impact on your gaming experience.
