Reliable Vehicle. At a fair Price.

I am not looking for a flying vehicle with 1000000 features. I am not looking for one that has a very good combat system. And I am not looking for an incredibly amazing vehicle.

But, what I *am* looking for is a vehicle that can pass sim borders with ease. Though it does not have to be an incredibly fast vehicle. I find that the slower ones are less bugger, and crash less on sim borders.

Alot of vehicles that I find you have to right click, and choose "fly". I am looking for a larger craft. One that you would need to open up a door, walk through 1 or 2 small rooms, and enter the cockpit.

I would prefer if it had mouselook flight. But It isn't such a big issue.

My price range is about L$1000 or less.

I would rather a vehicle with physical flight. But if your vehicle is non-phys but it still stable going through sim border and isn't too fast, that will do.

As long as I am happy with it :D

a physical vehicle is limited to 31 prims (for a single passenger). 29 for 2 people, 28 for 3.. and so on (don't forget that chairs ALSO count as prims.... so 29 prims and a chair for 1 passenger, 28 prims and 2 chairs for 2.. etc)

that's the main problem you're going to run into with a truly physical vehicle that you can enter, and use with any reliability.

larger vehicles that have huge rezzed "shells" that derez as soon as you wear an attachment (basically a flying chassis and seats)... can work, but tend to be really glitchy in terms of use. Additionally they are limited to rezzing in sandboxes (where are you going to find a chunk of open build land with 200 prims available so you can even pull the thing out?)

I have done some work trying to build a physical airship.. with some limited success. the end result is large and relatively spartan in design. And I think you will find that the more passengers your vehicle supports, the more rudimentary the vehicle will become.

Contact me in world and I'll show you my 6-passenger (plus driver) hovervan.

If you're interested in a car/hovervehicle... check out Warf Ventura.. downstairs from Go-Go Mini-Racing in the NW corner of Motorati.
