[@robertschumacher2707]

Another benifit of the RC is that it's the only Cyclone version with boost.

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

Interesting.

[@goonlee]

This is the comment that made me buy 2 cyclones instead of 1

[@ChristopherJones16]

@@goonleeYou bought it for the boost? So tell us... was the Boost all you hoped it would be and more?

Earned a sub!!

[@whiteknight6470]

Succinct and direct guide explaning the arcane art of mobile deployment, great video and good advice. Well done

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

Thanks for the response! I really enjoy the Cyclone's and still think they are some of the best bang-for-your-credit vehicles in the game!

[@mominth]

Woohoo! Ground vehicles! Thank you for the uploads.

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

Glad you like them! I'll be doing an Ursa vs. Lynx video in a week or so.

[@mominth]

@@eyesofheimdall6510 Nice, been looking at the Ursa to be honest. I got the mule which I love, but it takes forever to get in and out of.

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

If it's for solo play, just get a Cyclone. The Ursa's only real advantage over the Cyclone is it's extra seating. Maybe a bit of extra use as a hauler for hand mining. But the Ursa and the Lynx both drive noticeably worse than the Cyclones, especially in low-g environments.

[@mominth]

@@eyesofheimdall6510 ah, good to know, thank you.

[@cpt_kenzo]

Thank you for this guild, this helped so much!

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

Glad it helped! That's my goal, and it is great to hear that it comes across!

[@aufgespielt3768]

would be cool when the cyclone are modular to switch different Attachment for you're choice and Missions.

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

I hadn't heard about modularity for the Cyclone. It's an interesting idea for sure. I find myself using either the base model or the MT depending on the ship I'm carrying it in, but it would be neat to only need to buy one and then be able to switch turret or rear cab options. I wouldn't mind getting a Cyclone with an extra two seats.

[@notlisztening9821]

Any idea why it sometimes wont move? I park it in my cutlass np and the next time i hop in, it sometimes wont respond. I can still start it and the screen is on, but there's a little red warning symbol on one of the screens and I won't even be able to get it out of my ship.

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

I haven't experienced that issue yet, but I would recommend always cycling the power when you get in and out of it. I'm in the habit of either powering down, or at least shutting engines off any time I get out the seat when I'm on the ground. I'm not sure if that's the issue, but it's the first thing I can think of. Hope that helps.

I’m ready late to this game but where do I buy one and how do I get it on my ship?

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

I'm not sure why I didn't see this earlier, sorry for the late response! In game you can purchase them at New Deal in Lorville, or you can rent them at Traveler and Vantage Rental kiosks. To fit them into your ship, you need a ship large enough like a Drake Cutlass Black (which you can rent in game) or larger with a cargo bay and doors large enough to load it through. I have a few different videos going over most of the ships in game right now if you would like to check different ones out. The Cyclone is also available to buy with IRL money on the RSI page, though the different variants are not always available. Hope that helps, glhf!

[@treomoe]

@@eyesofheimdall6510 I purchased the Cutlass Black as my intro into the game and I did purchase some Cyclones. I’m just unsure of how to get them on your ship before you leave station.

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

Ah, I see. So, in short, you don't. You have to go to a planetary outpost, like the Mining stations on Hurston (the name of the locations on Hurston will start with HDMS-******) Once you have landed, look for a small building with two tiny landing pads next to it. That is the building where you spawn in your ground vehicles.

[@treomoe]

@@eyesofheimdall6510 ohhhhh ok 👍🏾 thank you.

[@eyesofheimdall6510]

I forgot to add, at New Babbage and Lorville, there are ground vehicle ASOP terminals but it is usually more of a hassle to get them in your ship in cities than at stations. New Babbage has the ground vehicle ASOPs in the spaceport. Lorville you have to ride the trams to one of the exterior gates to find the ground vehicle ASOPs.
