This has been the case literally like since it was first released, the devs were just really inconsistent back then and presumably would have liked the idea of a sedan too but couldn't pull it off. Of course the devs have floated the idea every bodystyle idea for every car ever before, the very vast majority of these ideas just never come to fruition for a wide range of reasons. I know a few other cars are similar (eg hopper doors are FL opposed to just L in the jbeam), it's just inconsistency and old scrapped potential plans opposed to some giant 10 new bodystyle rework for every vehicle coming imminently
Nice name. But I think that the Bastion name for the Sedan, along with the Bulwark name for the SUV mod (if Bruckell ever officially decides to fill the modern Full-Size SUV niche, it should use the Bulwark name) makes for an imposing motif. So, if the modern Bruckell 2-door Muscle Coupe version of the Bastion isn't gonna be named the Moonhawk, I found some names that are different words for calling the "Bastion": Bruckell Rampart Bruckell Stronghold Bruckell Gunwale Bruckell Gunnel Bruckell Vallasion
i feel like it would be more defence oriented names, since Challenger and Charger, the irl counterparts, are mostly offense orientated, and Bastion strikes more as a defensive fortress
this is really good but i feel like a modern moonhawk would be more like a 2015 challenger more than a reskinned charger/bastion idk it just looks too bulky to be a moonhawk
You're right, they're defensive names. But this fact doesn't stop them from being used as selling points advertising cars that are built tough and can handle whatever you throw at them. --- Post updated --- Looks nice but the front and rear ends can be much slicker, the side rear windows can be leaner and the slope of the roof at the back can be smoother than what we see here. It's a good first effort though! --- Post updated --- This is a classic discreet hint that there are more body styles coming in the future and it can also be seen on the Covet ("3 Door Hatchback Unibody"). It already worked with the LeGran, which got the Wagon Unibody in the 0.22 Spring Update a year ago. Also, the small Executive Sedan (D-Segment, for speaking in European terms of classification) is one of the most characteristic automobile species of the German car industry, so its inclusion in the BeamNG lore, by way of the ETK 800-Series Sedan, is important (the game itself is German too, so here's also a reason for feeling proud). We just have the Wagon version as of now for representing the 50% of this kind of car. Not to mention that the so-called "844t/854t/844td/854td ttSport" niche (combining the smaller 2.0 Turbocharged Inline-4 engine with the ttSport appearance and handling package) is an important part of this car. Even a "ttSport" sub-niche with a 3-cylinder engine can be filled in (843t/853t/843td/853td ttSport, with a 1.5 Turbocharged Inline-3, because such an engine is also missing from BeamNG, for bringing the modern German '0.5-liter Lego Approach' to engines fully in the game)! Plus the various ECU states of tune for each engine, a la Cherrier FCV, plus the desired Twin-Turbocharged V8 (ideally a 4-liter, for further confirming the said '0.5-liter Lego Approach'), there's a lot of potential for the remastering of the modern ETKs!
More than vehicle suggestion, I think we're just trying to figure out how a modern Moonhawk could look like. We didn't have any proofs nor teasers, but we all know that the Moonhawk is needing a remaster (and that it will come at a point), and a coupé variant of the Bastion (+ maybe even a sedan variant of the 70s Moonhawk called "Bastion") could be something possible ! I understand you think this thread is floating away from its basic theme, but in my opinion, even if it isn't "good" speculation it's better than "uPdAtE tOmOrRoW" or stuff like this
$25 CAD Paypal to the first like on this post, says, we won't get a teaser or any new info today! one-sided bet cause I'm super confident, speculating, we'd get nothing tday
Lmao (if only I could react with a laughing emoji...) ...maybe edit Actually, yes. Now that is nearly 10 AM here - I'm more than confident, I'd keep my 30$
Hello. I am writing to the forum for the first time because I am interested in one question. Is there any official, or maybe unconfirmed information about the date the "campaign" mode will appear in the game? Sorry for my English
