Please add new speeders to the game craftable by master artisan (and regular schematics, not stuff like the AV-21).

Add MP vehicles,

Add Vehicles with weapons that are added components crafted by weaponsmiths, and armor that is added when acquired by armorsmith. Stimulate the economy.

My motor dealership is suffering, except for those who go to Dathomir.

Those nightsisters are the only thing keeping me in business as they keep shooting bikes out from under players....

Thanks,

The snow speeders fromHoth would be perfect. They held two people and had weapons. I don't think they would need tow ropes though.

Another option would be a pilotable AT-ST. It wouldmoveslower, like a creature mount and have one strong gun that could only shoot forward.

i am a little bored with only swoops, speederbikes, av-21 and that landcruiser..
Thought it was fun to get that flash speeder with JTL, but rather saw it being a craftable one.

So please SOE give us more vehicles (and pitdroids)

Rather than new vehicles.. you know what I would absolutely love to see?

make artisan vehicles more like jtl ships.

by that I mean - allow for components.

allow artisans to craft stuff like

- stabalizers

- engines

- brakes

- items that will affect the accelleration, turning radius, top end speed, durability, terrain negotiation, etc

- purely style items - items that would change the look of the vehicle for visual customization, other than just paint

- texture kits (same as the ones that exist for starships)

make *some* of the same items lootable from specific npc groups - ie: swoopers jabbas and valarians, but keep the drops RARE

it could start a whole new industry for artisans, and not only that, add a new fun thing for players to do (who uses swoop tracks right now? raise your hands). plus it would lend purpose to some of those npcs (swoopers).

- Allow for the components to be destroyed, but probably not interchanged/swapped (unlike ship components).

- Allow for looted components to be reverse engineered

- Allow for destroyed vehicles to be salvaged (not repaired) : ie: maybe you could salvage the engine, or stabalizers from a bike that is presented to a master artisan. (player trades artisan his destroyed bike, artisan tries to salvage the components - but probably 75% of the time would fail - in order to keep artisans building components).

Forget about putting weapons on them - at the speeds swoops are *supposed* to be travelling (forget the fact that jedi can outrun them lol) there's no time to aim a gun and shoot while pilotting with only 1 hand.

givingvehicles like the x34 the ability to have a passenger, who could then shoot his own weapon on the other hand, would be great.

I don't know.. I think That would be a whole lot more fun than just having new vehicles to craft that you would get bored of in a month.

Ooh, I really like this idea! The improved customization would be great for artisans. Almost everyone has a vehicle, and I'm sure there would be a greatdemand for parts.

I'd love to build an X34 that is faster than an AV-21!

yup it would be awesome.. but it's just too cool for the devs to ever impliment 1/2 of it

-- even though a large portion of the framework could likely be copied from the jtl/ship management stuff

i don't know about you guys, but i've been wanting to see pod racers in the game for a while now. since they're basically two small starfighter engines with a lawn chair connected bya rope, why not get the shipwrights involved (working the interdependency angle, woot!)making 2 (identical, if you can make an engine in a factory run. i don't know about that one, gonna have to ask a SW about it) engines that a master artisan then uses to make the finished product? when you're done you head out to mos espa and run that droid over! lol

i think making something as fast as pod racers would drastically effect the 'size' of the galaxy. It's bad enough now with only a 60 second shuttle wait (you can bounce from planet to planet in just a couple minutes) - adding a superfast vehicle would only shrink the environment more.

Don't get me wrong, I hate waiting for shuttles as much as the next person, but the galaxy has gotten very very small since the shuttle wait was decreased.

I don't see a problem with introducing vehicles that are slightly faster than av-21's (or customizations that would allow them to reach that speed) - but pod racers .. while they could be a lot of fun to race around in - would 1) really really suck in lag, and 2) make every other vehicle obsolete.

I think there are enough vehicles in the game now to provide a nice variety - if only they were more customizable (both visually, and mechanically).

just my 2 cents though.

I've submitted requests for vehicle enhancements for over a year now.

I've kept it on our issues list, and will continue to do so moving forward.

well.. like I said ..

it's far too cool a concept for the devs to impliment even 1/2 of it.. they seem intent on shooting non-combat professions in the foot every chance they get..

ie : flash speeders, decreased buff time (how many docs use havla now), the idea they were throwing around about 0 maintenance house vet rewards.. etc etc.. heh

Yet, a week ago, I decided to master artisan b/c I'd never done a crafting profession before. now.. I think I'm hooked =)

speeders should be craftable to be faster etc

same as weapons can take krayt and slice to be much more valuable than a general run of the mill

and AV-21 are a scam in my opinion ... big luggy thing that costs millions but for no point

I agree that the AV-21s are overpriced butthat's because it takes 2 rare schematics to make one. The drop rates should be increased on them, or better yet, they should be crafted by a master artisan.

As for them being big and luggy with no point, I disagree. They are as fast as a swoop and can climb hills like an X34. The swoops slow way down on hills. AV-21s are the best craft to own if you do a lot of traveling.
