Flying Car: Difference between revisions

Line 112:

* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' has a selection of hovercars in addition to normal cars, helicopters, and airplanes. The really fun thing is that if you have a reasonable DM, it is possible to afford a hovercar at character creation (it will eat up around half your cash, though)

* ''[[Teenagers From Outer Space]]'' has spacesters: look like a car, move like a flying saucer. No teenager can afford to buy one—but a clever human/alien pair can ''build'' one by, yes, cannibalizing parts from a car and a flying saucer.

* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' has "skimmers" - not quite free-flying antigrav vehicles. In the Imperium they are expensive and rarely seen outside Mechanicus and the elites of Hive Worlds. Armored ones are used as light attack craft. They are more common among the Tau and Eldar (Craftworld and Dark, anyway).

Line 136:

Line 137:

{{quote|''(on [[Star Trek|matter replicators]])'' The end of everything will come on the day when anyone can make anything. Except a flying car, those will still be useless.}}

* ''[[Fenspace]]'' has flying cars that are spaceworthy. They still need fuel, though they don't seem to need oxidizers for the fuel.

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' has [[Artificial Gravity]] developed to the point that flying cars are common (and flight ''belts'', but those are less common). Of course, those are powered by annihilation plants (which is a ball of superstrong alloy loaded with neutronium and antimatter, that is distressingly close to armor piercing low-yield nuclear shell) and some of the implications are that on anything that easily counts as a shuttle "manual operation under influence" is commonly a capital offence - of course, it requires tampering with the hardware to remove overrides, and customer vehicles may not even ''have'' manual controls to begin with - [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-09-30 their autopilots are pretty good at avoiding damage].
