Note on Vehicles (Destiny)

This has been the conclusion I've been slowly coming to. Unless there's some good reason for a heavier-duty weapons platform to traverse long distances (say maybe some kind of escort mission), I doubt there will be any stunning revelations in the motor pool.

Having instant access to the Shrike means there won't be a need to pick up another member of your fireteam and carry them anywhere, unless an objective has them carrying something. I don't see that happening enough for a whole separate vehicle to be justified.

Everything is now some flavor of hoverbike. Which is great, if you like that sort of thing.

It really does all come down to mobility. Would you even really want a tank, what with the potential to be rocketbait or a giant target for Supers? It would have to be so resilient to damage or so overpowered as to shift the game balance dramatically, I'd think.
