This is my best attempt at the Nomad Rover in the new Mass Effect Andromeda game coming out next month. I don't usually give my opinions about my own builds but I absolutely love driving this thing around. Lol. The Nomad can easily take big bumps and small jumps without breaking anything thanks to Emptybox's XML modded suspension part.
The Nomad is equipped with an "Anti-Gravity" drive to help it jump over holes, canyons, craters, etc. (vtol bar upwards) It can also help the Nomad boost its speed by removing friction due to weight (vtol bar center) or add gravity to increase tire grip (vtol bar down). You only have 50 gallons of fuel so use the "Anti-Gravity" drive sparingly.
Driver Instructions:
Pitch: Forwards and reverse
Yaw: turn left and right
Throttle: "Anti-Gravity" power output
AG1: turn on forward lights
AG2: enable "Anti-Gravity" drive and balance thrusters
AG2 + throttle + vtol bar center: less gravity = less friction = go faster :)
AG2 + throttle 80% + vtol bar up: hover and jump over canyons or big holes
AG2 + throttle + vtol bar down: increased gravity for low traction areas.

Thanks and enjoy!!

@Synthex4060 there already is a Mass Effect tag. Lol.
AMAZING ! They should add a Mass Effect tag :p
@Rugpeersdude You're right but I've been building since the start but I'm working on something which has been undercover for a long time.
@Captain123 just look at how I started out to how I am now, and you can see the changes, only took almost 2 years XD
@Captain123 it just takes lots of practice. I've been building since June of 2015 so I've had some time to perfect my designs. Lol.
Can anyone help me how to build these sort of STUFF PLEASE??????
Cool but not spacecraft
@Rugpeersdude no, I am Halo fan
@MAHADI thanks!! Are you a mass effect fan?
AWESOME
@AudioDud3 thanks for first place!
Yes, congrats :) @AudioDud3
@Feanor @mumpsy @shatslanger @zandgard thanks for the spotlight!
And it can do the massive western jump@Rugpeersdude
@Avro683Lancaster haha!! Yes I actually was just playing around there with this. Lol.
Although, with the thrusters able to give a speed boost, and the RCS stabilisers, this can do the jumps at Sky Park City amazingly. @Rugpeersdude
@Avro683Lancaster lol. Yea I limited the fuel to give the idea of having to conserve a precious resource and only use the thrusters in an emergency.
this is wonderful to drive around, even at 3fps, but the fuel leaves something to be desired.
@Rugpeersdude Of course
@sheepsblood lol. Putting the "Anti-Gravity" drive to work?
@Mumpsy lol. Thanks buddy!!
@DethFromAbove that was definitely something I wanted to make sure this build still had was handling and drivability.
Driving VERTICAL in the Desert!
Ha! Spotlight ya while I still can! Nice work! Very cool build.
Handles very well!!
