Don't know if this question has been asked. I'm sure there are a couple of people out there that are at level 50. Do you guys know of any other vehicles besides the rocket launcher and machine gun type? Cause I was expecting a game where you could fully customize your vehicle. Or so I heard. The game is awesome. But I'm not impressed with the vehicle control or not customization. Mind you i'm only level 25. Thank you.

But even then...
As much as I love the game, this does highlight the one biggest issue I have with it. While I'm a fan of Quality over Quantity... there are certain bits of the game that make it seem pretty small in relation to other ones, and the vehicles are a biggie. While it's really just a way to transport players from Point A to Point B with some amount of speed, and that's something I can accept, I don't really see a reason to keep'em around once you get to wherever you need to go, y'know? You can't use any of your specced out abilities inside a car. They don't react differently depending on whose driving it, or what specs they have. There are only two of'em. While I'm not going to say the game is any worse off because the cars can't be customized, Pandora is supposed to be an entire planet, one which was explored and colonized by multiple corperations. Shouldn't vehicles be a little more than the same car copypasta'd over and over? Even if the basic vehicle shape was the same, shouldn't they be modified? Car-based combat could be extraordinary if you could mod them based on what class you were, or if they naturally changed depending on the classes. A car Brick drove would do extra damage on a run-over, and be that much more resilient, whereas Brick as your gunner would beef up the rockets. Mordecai's machine-gun would have extra long range and stopping power, and his rocket-launcher might work more like a recoilless rifle, but his driving ability would be based on speed and precision. It could go tons deeper than that.
I'm sure Gearbox has thought about all this, and I'm certain that there are perfectly good reasons why they couldn't fit these sorts of things in. Lord knows they've already put in an intense, ridiculous, amazing amount of work, effort, love, and care into the game, and I commend them entirely for what they've been able to do. DLC is always a possibility, and I'm more than happy with what I've already got. But they could have really overworked the cars, I suppose, if they had the time or the space, and I'm just frothing at the mouth thinking about what these guys could do to the cars if they had time.
Hate to say it but there is only 1 vehicle type in the game, sorry :/
