• Armored Personnel Transport: Heavily armored vehicle designed to transport troops safely through dangerous areas. These are used by both S.W.A.T. teams and military for a variety of operations.
• Gyrocopter: Small two person helicopter, of the type usually assembled from a kit.
• Hovercraft: Designed to travel at a short distance above ground or water, moving on a cushion of air. Also known as a Ground Effect Vehicle. Use land speed cost for generating CP costs for new ones, but they are able to travel equally well over water.
• Hover Cycle: Low-altitude vehicle about the size of a horse, but resembling a huge motorcycle minus wheels. Usually found in the possession of Image comics characters.
• Jet Cycle: High-altitude vehicle about the size of a horse, but resembling a huge motorcycle minus wheels. Usually found in the possession of Image comics characters.
• Jet Helicopter: Helicopter with jet engines added for higher speed travel.
• Maglev Train: High speed commuter type train that rides on a magnetic field for higher speeds with reduced noise and friction.
• Personal Hydrofoil: Watercraft with a special fin-like devices attached with struts to reduce lift the body of the craft above the water to reduce drag and allow greater speed than conventional watercraft.
• Police Car: Conventional car that has been reinforced and souped up for use by police officers.
• Police Motorcycle: Conventional motorcycle that has been reinforced and souped up for use by police officers.
• "Sea Viper" Sub/Hydrofoil: Submersible watercraft with a special fin-like devices attached with struts to reduce lift the body of the craft above the water to reduce drag and allow greater speed, when traveling on the surface, than conventional watercraft. This particular model is ideal for advanced naval warfare.
• Space Shuttle: Basic stats for a government or corporate reusable space vehicle, depending on the technology level of the campaign it may be able to reach space unassisted, or may require booster rockets to get into orbit.
• Star Shuttle: Smaller corporate or personal version of the Space Shuttle, for use in high technology campaigns.
• Stealth VTOL Plane: Low profile airplane with surfaces designed not to reflect radar. It also has the capability of Vertical Take-Off and Landing, meaning it does not require a runway to take-off and land like conventional aircraft.

1. To figure the Base Cost of a vehicle not covered in the Villains and Vigilantes Rules Upgrade use the following equation:
   1. Take the CP cost for the weight of the vehicle from the table below:

      Weight Range	CP Cost
      0-500	-10
      501-1000	-8
      1001-2000	-6
      2001-3000	-4
      3001-4000	-2
      4001-5000	0
      each 1000 above 5000	+2

   2. Add the CP cost for Passengers and Pilots:

      # of Passengers CP Cost 0-1 0 2-3 1 4-5 2 6-10 4 11-15 5 every 5 above 15 +1

      # of Pilots CP Cost 1 0 each additional pilot -1

   3. Add the CP cost for Cargo Capacity:

      Cargo Capacity	CP Cost
      1/10th Weight	-2
      1/5th Weight	-1
      1/3rd Weight	0
      1/2 Weight	2
      2/3rds Weight	4
      = Weight	6
      1 1/2 Weight	8

   4. And add the CP cost for speed:

      Ground Speed CP Cost 1-50 -5 51-100 0 101-150 5 151-200 10 201-250 15 251-300 20

      Flying Speed CP Cost 250 5 500 10 Mach 1 15 Mach 2 20 Mach 3 25

      Water Speed CP Cost 1-35 -5 36-75 0 76-150 5 151-200 10 201-300 15

   5. Round to the nearest 5 pts, 0-7=5CP, 8-12=10, 13-17=15, etc.

2. It costs 2 CP for every 15 CP of Vehicular Weapons and Equipment. Add that cost to the Base Cost of the vehicle as listed in the Rules Upgrade, or use the special rules above, to determine total cost. Use these points to buy vehicular abilities not included below. For example, if you'd like a flame thrower added to the vehicle purchase a Flame Blast device as outlined in the Rules Upgrade, but determine the end CP cost by only spending 2 CP for every 15 CP's purchased. It is important to note that these devices are attached to the vehicle, and cannot be detached for use outside of it. If a character wants to purchase a removable device they must pay the full CP cost for that device.

3. More than one character can contribute to the cost of a vehicle. Each character's contribution should be noted both on their character sheet and on the record sheet for the vehicle. GM's may rule that characters must make equal contributions to the vehicle, or may allow some characters to contribute the bulk of the points. Any character spending at least 5 CP towards a vehicle should be automatically given the skill to operate that vehicle. If none of the characters have spent 5 CP, then one pilot may be specified and the skill given to that character.
4. The GM's word is final. If the GM thinks the CP cost is too high or too low then they may assign CP cost as desired. Players may also ask for unusual things not covered in these rules, such as vehicles that can transform into other vehicles, or sets of vehicles that combine to make a giant one. The GM must use their best judgment in each case to determine CP costs. GMs should take input from the players in these decisions, the primary goal of any RPG is to have fun, but the GM has the final word.
