We should be able to make kits to repair disabled vechicles now that NPC's love to attack them.. otherwise why even drive vehicles. You make a great vehicle with a 90+% and some npc comes along and blows the damn thing up while your knocked out with the new CU. Since the upgrade I've lost several Swoops and now my AV21 this way.. 21's are not easy or cheap to come by anymore! Sure I'm crying but I lost it tonight to a LAG.. Driving along and had agro npcs pop up.. shot right through my armor and knocked me out in 3 shots <3 agros each shot me once> and then they decided to disable my 21.
I think a "vehicle rez kit" would be a great thing to be able to make.. use it and your vehicle goes from disabled to 1 point.. enough to get to a garage to fix.. YEA it's gonna cost a lot to repair the dang thing but why should only the BARC get a repair kit?? atleast it's something else we artisans can sell!!

I completely agree, I have lost 2 Swoops in 3 days by Stormtroopers during the themepark. I would like to be able to rebuild these but of course this is not an option. Since they now have BARC repair kits, how about ones for the rest of them. I don't care if the kits are single use or not, I just want to be able to repair my vehicles if they get disabled. On another note, 2 Swoops in 3 days, yet my X31 doesn't get shot once during the same timeframe.

I, personally, would rather sell you another vehicle.
The BARC has a repair kit because they can't be crafted.

/agree
All vehicles except BARC and Flash are crafted
Flash can be 'reclaimed' with a 20k payment
BARC cannot, it is a one time one claim item {like ADKs}
Personally if they want to drive something I can't make,
at least they will have to buy something to keep it in repair to keep driving it.

You can just buy a new swoop, and even though its expensive, flash speeders and av-21's can be bought as well. If your barc got disabled and you couldnt repair it, i bet you would be pissed because you cant ever get it again unless some noob is tricked into selling it cheap to you before he discovers the value of it. If all other vehicles could be repaired, artisans would lose a HUGE part of their business. Maybe because of the huge demand for them since the CU, prices might go down as artisans race for hordes of people to buy their vehicles, although thats not too likley because swoops already sell for less then 3cpu for what it took to make them.....

Why is the BARC special? Hmmmmm..... Maybe because it's a gift? Or because you need to pay extra money to get it? Or because they aren't player made?

the flash speeder isnt craftable but yeah i know they changed the system in regards to the barc making it tradeable so it pretty much had to be made "forever" through repair kits.

the flash speeder isnt tradable, so they give the player the otion to generate anotehr one for 20k...its their reward for preoding jtl..you get a flash speeder for the rest of your life. Now the barc is only given to players who buy the total experience package BUT theya re tradable. And since they cannot be crafted and since you cannot do a /barcspeeder cammand to get another one they added the BARC repair kit ( comon, people would be making barcs for 20k and selling them for millions why would teh devs do that?) But the moment you make repair tools for speeders is the moment artisans will no longer need to craft them...that would screw up artisan since the majority of artisan sales is from speeders (imo) I know that the only real thing I craft now adays as an artisan are speeders and if they were repairable what would b the point if wasiting my skill points to stay an artisan?

Vehicles repair kits would be the death of artisans that have no other major crafting profession, unless the repair kits cost the same (or at least have the same margin) as a new swoop, but in that case, why not just buy a new swoop?

yes i know the flash isnt tradeable thats why i said they changed the system in regards to the barc but that in itself doesnt explain why they change it. if they want people to starttrading their exclusives, then i want to get a pair of glasses now for my main.

A little off the subject, but can quest received items be destroyed by decay? ie, cyberarms, class weapons, etc? Because you can only do the quest once....
