The Yacht is really nice, I went for a slice of elegance when configuring mine.

I believe the total cost was around $8,000,000, relatively cheap given the size of the Yacht.

As I was sat in the lounge area, somebody messaged me in the chat asking if they could see the Yacht. I picked him up with my Helicopter and showed him around. He, among with everybody else who has seen it, has been very impressed. All of you should immediately buy one, they're lovely.

Unfortunately my PS3 controller recently broke so I couldn't get to grips with the keyboard controls and have a really good look around it, but it has everything. Well, except a garage.

Speaking of keyboard controls. Flying a Plane with a keyboard on the PC version is a lot harder than I was expecting. I went to get my plane to fly around and observe the several vessels in the area, and trying to keep it in the air was a losing battle. After only 3 minutes in the air I crashed into the sea, a first in awhile for an experienced pilot such as myself. DS3/DS4 master race, I miss it.

Golden Luxor, Golden Swift, Yacht, I have too much money.

The worst part about this is that I went and crashed into shallow water right in-front of about 4 people on a Yacht close to mine near the beach and they all started being cheeky about it almost immediately in the chat.

Yachts start at 6 million, apparently. Much cheaper than I was expecting it to be.

 

[MMX]

Are the yachts of any use, or pointless money pits like the gold plane and chopper?

 

[SVX]

People really have to have more faith in Rockstar. Expecting them to charge 15,000,000 for anything is just absurd.

Can't wait to try out that revolver!

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I wonder what's the point of attacking yachts to begin with.

Aside from bounty hunts and the occasional raging from getting killed guy, that is.

Yacht Details:

Spoiler

There are 3 yacht options, Aquarius, Pisces and one other one. Don't buy the cheapest one as it doesn't have a helipad. You can also choose the paint scheme - varying prices from 100k to ~600k. You can choose lighting, chrome or gold trim. Again these extras cost more. Lastly you choose a flag and a name.
I would suggest buying the $8M (most expensive) yacht is it appears to have more features.

I recommend reading the patch notes about the Yacht before purchasing one. They are quite different.

but can you go down the waterfall with the yacht ???

You can't drive the yachts. You pay 25,000 to move them around the map, though.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Don't tell me: we're about to fall over a huge waterfall.

Yep.

Spiked rocks at the bottom?

Most likely.

... bring it on.

OHHYEEEAAHHEEHEEYY!


On other news, the new Schafter V12 is another 4-doored Sports class. Is the Sultan still the quad entry master?

And seeing that the new armored cars are cheaper than the Armored Kuruma, joy for us RPG folk blowing them sky high!

 

[STI9]

Go to the Social club > GTA V > Vehicles then toggle the stats. Then click vehicle details. There is a new category called "Super-mod" and all the cars have a X in the box. NEXT DLC HYPE!

The new Schafter V12 also has the highest stats in that category according to the bar chart thing on social club.

can you move 'em to the lake? or someone's swimming pool?

 

[STI9]

Judging by the Patch notes there are fixed locations the Yacht can move to.

Nice find.

Looking around, I see the stock versions of the lowrider cars, have the Super Mod box checked, but a X on the lowrider version. So safe to assume the hydros are a super mod, I think.

I checked all the lowriders, and they all display the same as the Primo screenshot.

The Nightshade is obviously inspired by the 70s Camaro, but it has cues from the 70s Pontiac GTO Judge and..

*drum rolls*

The Datsun 240Z! Wow!

But in terms of turning, it has a wider radius than the competitive racers, while actually having grip. Impressive. Going to buy in a bit.

EDIT: Bought it. Low down:

- Variety of spoiler options.
- Pretty limited bodykit options, but a few grilles and a bunch of hoods.
- Drives nicely after fully upgraded. I even boosted off without a burnout.
- Putting a rollcage adds a tank of nitro on the middle console.

- Secondary color is the middle, like the Pozzi Camaro RS. Now that's great. Mary Pozzi must be smiling somewhere, I know it.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I'm just waiting for someone to do up the Nightshade as the Pozzi Motorsports Camaro RS. It's almost an exact replica.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The Mamba is similar to the Nightshade: wide turns but is relatively stable at full blast.

But it has something the Coquette Classic needs: straight line power!!

EDIT: Fully upped it. Now..

- Bad brakes.
- Dominator level acceleration.
- No spoiler. Only custom options are hood, exhaust and roof removal.
- Really fast.

 

[STI9]

I thought the nightshade felt slow. It doesnt have very good acceleration but once it gets up to speed it is quick. Handles well. Mine was stock. May mod it later.

 

[ToyGTone]

So far I tried that machine gun out of that Stretch E (I forgot the actual name for that).

Still want to try all of the new vehicles and awesome yacht. (Am I the only one who liked the description for the 3 types of the yacht?.)

 

[CinnamonOD]

(Am I the only one who liked the description for the 3 types of the yacht?.)

I saw them via YT videos, I loved the description of the cheapest.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The Vierlerer feels like a dumbed down Massacro, but not by much. Great car for a RWD.

*test run provided by level 140 guy's car on the Mors Mutual area*

 

[Snorevette]

I'm a little confused - even after watching a few videos displaying the new videos, I can't see any differences between the Baller and the 'new' Baller - heck, I don't think I can see any difference between the 'new' Baller and the Baller LWB (even though I know what the difference actually is). It's the same story with the Cognoscenti and the Cognoscenti 55 or whatever, though at least there's an obvious difference between the Cognoscenti and the Cognoscenti Cabrio.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Five words:
The Schafter V12's Engine Sound.
Best thing i've heard all day.

 

[STI9]

The new Schafter V12 is faster than a Turismo R in a highway pull. The schafter started from behind, overtook then pulled away.

 

[Jahgee]

They added bathrobes and pajamas, best clothing update ever

 

[TS050]

So...apparently, the Schafter V12 is stupidly fast.

Fast enough for people to consider the car too OP for the sports class.

 

[leeislee]

I'm loving the Mamba. So much torque that makes it a real challenge to drive. Awesome.
