Soccer Practice Taxi
You can't have suburbia without the family friendly minivan.
Features a full GPS so you can find your way to McDonalds, and a DVD layer with built-in screens in the back seat, so little Jimmy and Sarah will stay quiet in the back seat.
"Kids, don't make me come back there!"
Seats fold in providing extra space to fit all your useless crap from garage sales, shopping malls, or camping trips (but you won't even need the camping equipment, as you know you'll wind up sleeping in a hotel anyways)
All this and more for an affordable pricetag. Since we offer zero percent APR, you can keep delaying your loan payment till the interest will eventually be greater than the original cost! No money down AT ALL!

Too current day for TS imho.
I mean, look at C&C3. Hover cars, cars with 3 wheels. Not 2008 models. Things like this should be an oddity. Sort of how hotrods are 'classic' cars for us. One of these would be classic.
Or an APC in World War Z. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
umm, mei. Do you think they have spare stuff to build flashy new motors? Every day is a struggle to survive, I doubt people can afford to buy hover cars... _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT

TS is a dreary, dead, rundown atmosphere. The civilians have little to nothing in the way of fancy. While C&C3 is "FLASHY!" and "NEW!". TS vehicles are ment to stress that enviroment where civilians have nothing. _________________ Comcast: Yo dawg we herd yo were downloading, so we put fail in yo modem so yo cant download while yo failin!

TS is a dreary atmosphere alright, but the concepts of Twilight really were what TS should've been. Exotic. World Of Tomorrow meets nuclear war. Some patchy good areas, some hell holes. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

Yeah we've had this discussion in Odyssey recently - there would likely be a mix of new futuristic stuff, for everyone with connections with GDI or Nod, or the people who just salvage off of the people who died from tiberium or the war.
Since the tiberium epidemic claimed so many lives, it left behind a lot of unused material up for grabs to whoever wanted it. _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

Slap-bang in the middle of a blue zone? (sorry, I know it's a cnc3 thing...) I don't think so... Could be nice though, The kremlin maybe... Or the Forbidden city... _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
I have to partially agree with Carno. The voxel is fine and of great quality. However if people are using the argument cars in TS were poor, broken and dirty and there should not be clean futuristic cars like mentioned then why the heck is there a perfect condition 2008 model car from our universe in there? A broken, rundown 2008 model is perfectly fine and working futuristic cars can make perfect sense if your including new and functional buildings. Either way the only cars you see in 2008 that are 22 years old are either some car of special interest or one of the VERY few that have been well maintained and looked after. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I suppose, but what if they didn't stop producing them? There isn't enough money for a new design so they keep producing this one with minor changes. _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT

It's a nice voxel there, and what he's getting at is the vehicle of choice for soccer moms.
Even if it's based on a '08 model, the voxel, it could just be a generic minivan. Not an '08 model, but a generic 'modern' family vehicle for the times. And who cares, those cars were from C&C 3, OK XD.
The reason the cars in vanilla TS are so out-dated and out of place is because they were made for the alpha when TS took place a little closer to TD. You know how in the beta screens that had those less-detailed vehicles(they're mostly remap), the civilian vehicles were made with that lot, however someone was too lazy to update them. Oh and any of you seen some of TS's concept art? The civvie vehicles are in some of it. _________________

And yeah, TS' civ vehicles are out of date. I recokn TO's ones look good so far though _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT

Bako speaks the truth.
This is supposed to be a generic minivan, even though the concept is based on the Dodge Caravan (that's the one I drive at work).
Just like the Escalade I made, which was meant to be a generic SUV. Even the TS generic "car" is modeled after the ford thunderbird, as you can see under its section header.
It's meant to be eye candy, to enhance the "civilian" aspect of XCTX, though it's ultimately up to the XCTX users if they feel it's 'proper enough' to use in their mods.
Don't worry though, Odyssey will feature special versions of all the voxels that I've made for XCTX, and give em rust and dents and stuff, to make them more authentic for TO. _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

oi knock it off.
Just because I'm without internet doesn't meant i'm not lurking around on your back porch.
knock if off, kids.
as for the minivan... It's a minivan. Sweet stuff. Mom'll love it. It's good to see TSTCE is still going without me.
anybody got some extra cash I can use to reconnect? _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
The first tiberium war began in 1995 and the world had been going to hell ever since. I think that hot sports cars with hover drives weren't on the minds of people that were going to die. The only reason I see those kinds of cars in c&c3 is because people in the "blue zones" have gotten away from that way of life.
Nice voxel TB, I really gotta get back into voxeling. QUICK_EDIT
