So I've been doing a lot of mining recently and ATVs are robust as hell and super fun ESPECIALLY on lavaland and yet they're so underutilized. I think it would be cool to be able to paint them and add upgrades that you can purchase from cargo, get from RnD, or maybe buy mining utility upgrades from the vendor.

Ideas for features:
Pricing Adjustment
Fuel Source
Unique ATV Key pairing (Kevinz000)
Hackable Panel For Memeing Someone's Ride (Copybass)

Ideas for upgrades:
Mag-Tires
Thrusters for space travel
Headlights
A Small Trunk (you could use the key to lock it maybe)
pAI slot so you can go full Nightrider (Copybass)

Ideas for paints:
Crayon Colors
Syndicate (Red and Black) Requires Emag! (Copybass)
Nanotrasen Pride (Blue and Gold)
Rainbow Mode
Emergency Medical (Blue and Teal)

Too cheap for something that's noslips and noslows.

Maybe adjust the price and make it run off fuel. Plasma or FUEL EFFICIENT ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Battery RnD upgrade. Noslip feature could be moved to a tire upgrade instead of default feature maybe? That way you could really crash your ATV while taking materials to RnD or evading SEC.

I just miss the days when vehicles were one-of-a-kind and sanic fast.

That would be reasonable. Still, keys should be tailored to a specific ATV and be copyable physically if you're doing the trunk stuff, because doesn't make sense that you take your key and it works on someone else's custom modded specced out ride kek

Yeah it would suck to have some assistant jack your ride too lol.

Syndie ATV skin requires emag?

Something else emag can do?

Hacking panel that can include pulsing for features like cutting the brake wires killing the headlights and hotwiring to override someone else's key?

Installable personality slot for NIGHTRIDER capabilities!?

Edited the OP to reflect and the new ideas.

I thought a little about stuff maybe an emag could do. Maybe it could fry the safety and make you go sanic fast or could be a detriment like after X many tiles or X number of seconds after it's mounted it explodes.
