Converting Old-Yalm to new one ?

[Skyhigh]

I hope we will be able to do that, don't want to have to buy a new one just to get a new paint job.

[Hawkey]

I would rather have a used car lot (machine) where you could trade in your old yalm or kodiak for an reduction in the price for a new one.

/me opens his bank and counts his yalms

[Darkbane]

That would be nice, give me something to do with the spare ones... I could have different ones depending on my mood

[nadders]

damn wheres my yalm?

ah parked between the kodiak and hydro

new vechiles ? doh need a bigger garage

cost of new vechiles?

/me goes begs guild for some new creds

[Adjoint]

I would prefer to change my yalm with one that :


1) Will have 2 seats so I can carry s/one from the team who
doesn't have yalm.

2) Will be able to cast heal nanos to myself.

3) ..... You can add s/th.lololol

Thank you for your time !!!

The new yalms are a completely new model. Not just a paint job, so you gotta buy a new one, I'm sure.

[Maximilian]

The question is simple: How much are you going to rip off us for some paint?

Somehow E&B comes to my mind, seing the new models, but that is just a nasty idea.

So long,

It's not just paint, I said. An entirely new chassis, it is.

But once you have one of the new ones, I think it might be possible to repain that one to other styles. Not entirely sure yet though.

[Maximilian]

My dear friend, Cz, now that is promising news. (this actually might bring my arse back to Rubi-Ka - curiosity kills the cat)

Customizable Yalms. Cooool.

Give us more info (at time). Hope the prizes will be reasonable. In the end, it is a vehicle, a device for transport and show (outdoor).

/me returns to my old silver bird and puts some more polish on it.

So long,

Presumably the old yalms will still work?

or have I just blown 5.5 million?

Yes, they will work. Don't worry.

[Maximilian]

Good question, Kissysuzuki, they wouldn't risk that, or?

Now that the rest of the gang get new planes, how about adding that flight mode to dragons again? /me points to adventurer forum!

I think you have some wrong info, Cz or that you guys are talking
alil out of synch.

There are three types of Yalmahas now.

Release 11.0
+Yalmaha XL 29478

Patch 14.6 (currently on test-live)
+Yalmaha 29480
+Yalmaha 29480 Gold Flash
+Yalmaha 29480 Vivid Red
+Yalmaha 29480 Obscura
-Theese still have same chassis.

Patch 14.7.07 (Notum Wars beta)
+Yalmaha - 29500 - The Poniard
+Yalmaha - 29500 - Custom Adaga Brutal
+Yalmaha - 29500 - Custom Adaga Elegante
+Yalmaha - 29500 - The Stiletto
+Yalmaha - 29500 - The Adaga
-Theese have a completely new model / chassis.

Now, you can convert your existing 11.0 DB Yalmaha XL 29478
into the Yalmaha 29480 with Paint Kits. I'll give one example.

Item: Auto Paint v. 303 - XL Gold Flash
Description: Use this item on your 'Yalmaha XL - 29478' to
customize it with a decreased susceptibility to 'Root' programs, a
new layer of paint and an overall boost to your defenses.
Price: 12000000

As you can see, Cz, you can upgrade your Yalmaha 29478 to a
new 29480. Adding root protection, defence modifier and a new
layer of paint.

Now, onto the Yalmaha 29500's.

We have the Adaga which is customisable with two paint kits.
Result is two Customised Adaga models.

All 29500 have the same chassis and can be bought, except the
29500 Stilleto. (The black one). I'll list it's info:

Name: Yalmaha - 29500 - The Stiletto
Description: The Yalmaha has always made good, 1-man
vehicles, for any situation. Each new model breaks the limits set
by the old, both when it comes to technology and price. The
Stiletto is Yalmaha's Executive special design.

It has no specific price since you need to build it with a "Yalmaha
29500 - Stiletto Building Kit". The finished Stilleto will be
a "Unmarked Yalmaha 29500 - The Stiletto" which is not NODROP,
meaning you can probably get a engineer to build it for you.

As you guessed you have to register it to use it. You need this:

Name: Stiletto Registar
Description: Use this item on your 'Unmarked Yalmaha
29500 - The Stiletto' - to register it with Omni-Tek's special
executive vehicle registry. IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you combine
these two items you end up with a NoDrop vehicle.

Hope that cleared it up.

Cya in Notum Wars!

To seek apprentices, I do.

Ok, got an update now, as it seems the vehicle discussion internally is not done yet.

It will most likely be possible to repaint your old Yalmaha to those with the same chassis (model, shape, whatever). Those with a different chassis (e.g. the Stiletto) will not be possible to make out of the old Yalmahas, but you might be allowed to buy one version of the new models, and repaint it to the others.

This is not final though. I'll try get a full update from the designers next week.

And none of these will be available in 14.6. Remember; It is not all gold that glareth; And it is not all in-game that shows up in ripped databases. (It's the weekend. I can talk as much rubbish as I want. So there. )

Seriously..... Nice, fast answers there, Cz!
Like it, we do!


btw, this post doesn't really add anything to the discussion, so if you delete it, I understand

[________________Cado]

Ahhh ... will be nice to see some new Yalmaha's ... however, I am curious about something else.

The Kodaik's.

As it is right now, they only have about 10 - 20% the size of those Kodaik's that are parked all over the place.

Will there be any chance that those we can use are actually scaled up to the same size as those rusting ones standing all over the place ?

Or perhaps the Kodaik scale went the same place as Tables, Beds and chairs for apartments .. into the oblivion.

[Darkbane]

Yalms also suffer from this. I believe they were rescaled to reduce congestion and 'blocking' of things like mission terminals in busy areas.

One suggestion that was made and noted by Cz at the time was to have vehicle scale set on a zone by zone basis, so in busy zones such as cities, vehicles will have their reduced size as now, but in other zones they'd scale to their correct and original size.

I've no idea what happened to this idea, and/or where it is with the devs and designers.

[MrFurious]

resizing yalms would ROCK, I always get a lil bit jealous when parking my teeny weeny yalm next to Mr. Galways at Galway Castle
