Post your vehicle suggestions!

My wishlist:

* They should require more components. Micro sensor suites, GP modules, energy distributors, control units? Some great suggestions in the TC forum for how complex they could be. Swoops should be fairly simple, but speeder bikes should be as complex as droids in their construction. Landspeeders could be in-between, but have the most optional components.

* They should have optional components. Storage space, crafting modules for landspeeders? More armor? If you can put it in or on a droid why can't you put it on a vehicle? This would also make DE's happier about not getting vehicle schematics.

* More distinction in vehicle speeds. A landspeeder vs speeder bike race should feel like a Spat vs Brackaset race. Swoop bikes should be the fastest, but have bad turning radius and few ammenitites.

* They should have non-speed distinctions. Speeder bikes should have the best turning radius, and slight storage space (3-5 items?). Swoops are all about speed, nothing else. Landspeeders should have great storage capability (10-20 items).

* Color of course. We're told this is being worked on (see TH's TC posts).

* Directional headlights. Even if I'm the only one who can see them (like personal light) it would be nice to have a visual range greater than 15m.

* For combat logic. If you

* Some day it would be nice to fight on a vehicle. If most enemies had a knockdown or posture down attack (which dismounts you!) what would be the problem? Of course I understand server "loop time" and access time to bring MOBs into the player's local world is an issue, but barring technical issues this is a must for a true "Star Wars feel".

Excellent post! I totally agree with you.

TRICKS!!!! That would be awesome if you could find a jump or something wheelie up to it while you accelerate, hit it HUGE and do like a backflip or something! And maybe add something like burst run or in this case NOS...... Oh and brakes.....

Supposedly if you press and hold the up and then down arrows at the same time you get a breaking effect.

Yeah a 5 second /burst would make racing very interesting. Right now it's pretty flat.

Let's have some more positives... the whole MA vs E4 stuff is dragging the forum down.

• Vehicle color customization


• Vehicle name-when-prototyped customization


• Possible multi-level color customizing [a la clothes, let us have racing striped or polka dots! Since I am sure logos would never be allowed]


• Experimentation affects useful attributes: speed, handling


• Keep no-vehicular-combat [sorry, but I hate mount combat SO very much]


• Non-store vehicular persistance: let us park a speeder or three in front of your house.. used speeder salesman, anyone? Gotta have a lot out front for people to see


• Allow us to kill Force Sensitive NPCs by repeatedly ramming them at high speed with vehicles

-=- Survey from a speeder.

Also, isn't the speeder from ROTJ and the Swoop is from AOTC?

You're probably right, but I soooo hate subcomponents...

i'd kind of like to be able to get a bit more 'air' from shooting over terrain at high speeds, etc. it seems to give you a wee bit, but nothing i would consider exhilarating

i'm just reminded of episode 1, where anakin's podracer went up the maintenance ramp, then flew out over the podrace field.... it'd just be really fun, is all

uh......

uh.........

uh..... A cup-holder would be nice

And fuzzy dice for the rear view mirror!

1) Experimentable on speed, handling.

2) Color customization.

3)A few colorable decal options (flames, stripes, skulls, Gnorts, Imperial/Rebel logos). Kind of like tatoos for Zabraks.

4) After market parts that people can drop onto the vehicle. Like weapon power-ups.

5) Storage space on the land speeder.

6) The ability to fish from the landspeeder. I just think it would be cool.

Droid armor requires composite armor segments from armorsmiths, so while adding armor is a cool idea it will not help the poor DE's.
