I was driving around in my car and I kept getting swarmed by tons of biters and I had no way to get rid of them. My base was too far away and I was helpless. A new technology, Mounted Turrets, could add a few slots in the car GUI for a turret and some ammunition. The turret would automatically shoot at enemies as you drive by. But laser turrets wouldn't work, because they require electricity. What if there were electric cars that were charged on a Charging Pad, and the charged car battery would make the car move and arm the mounted laser turret. Shooting down tons of biters AND riding around in a car would be awesome!

You can shoot your gun while driving, you know.

And tanks are planned too, so technicals are a possibility as well.

Oh Thanks, I didn't know that. I still think mounted turrets would be cool though, but not necessary if there are tanks. (I wonder if there will be helicopters too )

Also, mods already add the turret car (f-mod, if I remember correctly), so it's definitely feasible within the game already.
