too bad you can't upgrade the Xerxes Tank like you can with the Phoenix.......

the reason I say this, is because, like the Shrouded Devastator Tanks when fighting their enemy counterparts, their vehicle shields can slowly recharge overtime when not damaging them constantly. While the shields on the friendly versions that you steal from Shrouded dens, or completing Loosum's quest-line for the Authority Predator, doesn't recharge or recharges only a portion of shields.

And with the extra auto parts leftover (around 250 to be exact), one would think could potentially be used to upgrade not only the armor on the Xerxes to be even beefier and maybe slowly recharge vehicle health overtime when not in combat, but have the onboard vehicle shields recharge even faster.

Yeah, they dropped the ball with vehicles in general. So many choices, so few options. Expanding the upgrade system would have helped a lot.

exactly dude!!!!!

Because we can carry 250 Auto Parts when looting Ark Chests, or purchasing them from vendors in the various Trading Towns, we could've used those on upgrading all of the other vehicles (besides the Xerxes Tank), once the Phoenix is fully maxed-out.

in fact, that reminds me.....

I forgot who mentioned it on here, but a fellow poster talked about maybe upgrading the ordinary junk vehicles like the Kola Kong and BG Storm Chaser with machine gun attachments (kinda like what we did with the Dune Buster/Rat Rod Buggy from the original "RAGE"), or even adding missile launchers on the Icarus, so that we could launch rockets on enemies from above.

While the new Mech Suit isn't bad, it's super-slow walking speed is what holds it back (though it could potentially be somewhat useful for some of the random roadside fights you'll come across)

agree, but then I kinda keep phoenix as my main vehicle (:P no other options) and feel its only one, that makes me relaxed LOL

true. although i'll admit, that using the Authority Predator to clear out bandit dens with a few shots from the Energy Cannon does get a few laughs (even inadvertently blew up a poor unsuspecting Spy Drone in the process)
