I’ve seen one or two concept drawings for vehicles, but can find no mention of them in any of the interviews. Has anyone run across any news as to what kind of mounts that they are planning?

I did run across some of the new concept art, you might like to take a peek.

Got the parts for my stargate yesterday but don’t think it will fit in the garage.
Anyone have a spare ZPM their not using?

Yeah, I haven't heard anything about vehicles. From the concept art the only one i saw that looked like a vehicle was the one called "solar power generator." For that one i think it has something to do with crafting or it could just be cosmetic. Honestly i don't think the game is going to have mounts, at least not at launch. Only thing they ever really used in the movie or shows was the "jumpers" as vehicles for travel on planets. Other than that they always walked it. Theirs a part of me that hopes they don't have vehicles where you just travel past all your enemies and only fight what you want to fight. If your on a high tech planet they might have some fast transit system kind of like a subway (one of the concept arts looked kind of like that) but they haven't let out any information. Going back to your question on mounts, i don't see the vehicles that would follow the blueprint of the show other than the occasional jumper ride i mentioned.

The devs said the best way to get around in SGW is through the Stargate... so looks like gate to world to do quest... then gate home? hmm

Unfortunately, the devs have released that there will be no vehicles that you control but there will be things like Mono-rails and Trains thats you can use, as but they hinted at npcs using vehicles to fight you

their is a concept vehicle but i dont think that, as players, that we will beable to drive it. here is a pic of it

I guess I can live without some kind of personal transport. And gate-to-gate transport, (which is the way you get around in Tabula Rasa) works just fine.
My primary objection to hoofing it around the world is,that all to often it’s a design tool to get away with smaller worlds, with more NPC’s jammed into the smaller space. (Again I site Tabula Rasa.) On one hand it makes for quick and easy access to NPC’s, but on the other it can get really jammed up and make it harder to do your missions.
I know, it’s a personal preference thing maybe, but experience has taught me that I get bored sooner, and frustrated quicker.

only thing thing i could foresee is a modified M.A.L.P. that would be the only thing that would fit into the show until they expanded into space. Which they did say was a possibility down the road. Then we could have Gliders, Al'kesh, and F302s. Hells ya!

Gliders you say?
In that case I’ll bring my own… All kidding aside though, Gliders would be neat. Hope your right.

Considering that we are almost a year away from launch, then depending on where they start the story line at, there will probably be another year or 2 after that before they will expand it. If its done well and not rushed. kind like burning crusade with WoW.

A good point, but if the game is as good as I hope, and the level cap is high enough, there should be plenty of gamming to last until they do the XP. One thing is for sure….With Epic’s “Unreal 3” engine. It’s going to look FANTASTIC!
