A web-based vehicle designer is available, [http://dw.laasma.ee/carbuilder Carbuilder], as is a desktop application [http://graymattercomputing.svnrepository.com/dwvehicles/trac.cgi/wiki Darkwind Vehicle Designer]. | |||
''Known Bugs: The weight of each point of armor on a vehicle changes depending on the chassis, but the Darkwind Vehicle Designer uses the same weight per point of armor in all circumstances. I've also found the final weight in Car Builder is rarely an exact match the weight listed in the game itself, but I haven't figured out why. Take care in either one if weight is an important consideration for your design. The fuel range calculation in the Darkwind Vehicle Designer isn't right, so don't pay attention to it. When Car Builder generates a banner for a configuration, it always identifies the armor as Grade "B" even if you actually chose "A" or "C".'' | |||
