While I agree with the Core being just cars and cycles, I DO want big rigs, helos, and small aircraft eventually. I wouldn't mind boats and hovercraft, either.

I want roll-high, 2d6+skill.
I want a 5-phase movement chart.

I want also a scale smaller than CW5's. Perhaps 1"=10' (1/120, 1.5x original) or 2"= 15' (2x original, or 1/90 scale), or maybe even original's 1"=15' (1/180)... Noting that N Scale is 1/160 scale, and TT is 1/120... and TT is used by Architects quite often.)

And I want it to support both board game and roleplaying mode play in the core. Or, at least with a supplement available at the same time as the core. (And no saying "If you want to RP, use GAD instead"... that was a cop-out back then.) If it doesn't, I probably won't buy. Because, to be blunt, I don't like playing duels without the RP context. I've played Convoy as a GM adventure, and as a solo adventure, several times. And Hell On Wheels.

Things that would be good for RP-mode play support:
• tire wear rules that don't require monthly replacement tires.
• Mechanic rules
• Radio rules
• Personal weapons rules that don't result in needing a buddy to commit suicide.
