Well: http://cyreneforum.com/threads/spear-v-5-346.869/ Not sure if the player who posted this is still active, the thread is a bit older. But someone should be able to respond. They complain over there that it's too slow for their liking, but it actually looks just perfect for mining. Gonna want to ask for myself how to obtain one. Hadn't paid attention to this item, so thank you for the idea.
Lancer is pretty good for mining and easier to handle than the spear which has a tendency to flip if you go over any irregularity in the ground.
I posted the question yesterday in the thread at Cyrene forum linked above, and there are answers already. If still interested you might like to follow there. Look at the fuel consumption. Sleipnir needs about half as much in active mode. Same with most ground vehicles. I use the Explorer where terrain permits, beats even the Spear in economy. But they're only given to new players and available when someone sells theirs. Enough of them get auctioned off cheap so far, but the idea does not really satisfy. Nothing beats unlim gear if obtainable and sufficiently eco. Btw the L Spear is also unbeatable as storage container after it's been used up, you'd pay through your nose for a box of that capacity.
True, but the Lancer can be spawned practically anywhere. I actually rarely use any vehicle when mining. preferring to run to the next drop spot. I use a pitbull as a storage container
I think that there was/is? a mission that gave the bp. Its a long time that I was on Cyrene and things have changed a lot since then.
All cleared up. It was just a mistake in the item naming which has since been corrected. There never was an unlimited Spear. http://cyreneforum.com/threads/spear-v-5-346.869/#post-21583
Welp there goes my UL exploration vehicle, should it turn out that this vehicle does exist in a UL form feel free to PM me, until then this thread may be closed. I may also be interested in other UL vehicles that wont cost me a mortgage.
