The problem with trees is that they don’t really take damage… unless you do enough of it, at which point they shatter. Vehicles, in turn, can lose control even at low speeds, which is what happens eventually when you ram trees repeatedly. You might even end up getting stuck in a bad position after “sliding out of control”, forced to either step out and chop down the trees blocking your movement or risk damaging unintended parts of the vehicle if you decide to break free with brute force, by increasing throttle. You can’t really “mow” trees like they’re grass. You ram them one after another, and while doing so, your vehicle will sustain substantial damage. It’s the sort of damage that’s OK if there’s only 1-3 trees.
Trees are nasty tough. Seriously, they’re even immune to most weapons, including turbolaser turret (50 damage + explosion). You can shoot a tree all you want, but if you’re not doing enough damage, it’s not going to go away.
If anyone can think of a weapon that’s economically viable for tree removal, do tell.[/quote]
If you have enough bionic power, the sonic resonator has a decent chance to shatter trees.
