I firmly believe that one of the perks of a Master CH should be Mounts that only they have access to. So if they were to give us this really cool mount then I'd say CH only.

Hypothetically speaking,let's saythe Devs introduced a real awesome new mount (flier, cat, kliknik, whatever). Would you...

(A) Want everyone to be able to get one, so there would be a market for selling to non-CHs

(B) Want to keep it as a CH-only perk

(C) Want to keep it as a high level/Master CH only perk

This is just hypothetical, to help me with my writing. No developer intentions regarding mounts should be inferred.

For a special pet, I would suggest a flier as they are unique. We already have enough cats and not everybody likes bugs

Since this special pet should be something that makes us unique (to separate us from those non-CHers), I think it should be a CH only perk, that is, answer B. On a side note, if there are flying mounts, have more than one species to give some variety. Maybe giant peko pekos could have babies again?

There should be some mounts restricted to CH only, and a few mounts restricted to master CH only. Reward a MCH by making them able to ride something nobody else can have.

We DO have a mount that is CH-only, Ko-alri...it's the Savage Humbaba...I still get great responses pullingout the three-story camel...

But I would agree to seeing a couple more mounts- but I think it should be a little more race-specific...after all, Wookiees get all the love- why not give something to the Scaly folk for a change?For the Rodians, how about saddling up a Giant Dalyrake? Maybe Bothans can be Cowboys by riding on Tybises? We have the cu-pa, the duck and the spat...why stop there? Mawgax are badass birds, and I'd love to see (though I may be the only one in the galaxy) a saddled pugoriss...heh..

Since I'm on a roll here- I would offer one other potential mount idea for CH only- a SHARED MOUNT. Either a Guf Drolg, or a Torton/Tortur could have a howdah (like the things elephants would have) mounted on them..they could carry up to 3 other people with special permissions to board/dismount while riding...

A flying mount for MCH would be awesome. MCH need a perk! Also a fast rideable pet like a cat that is as fast as the slowest bike, that would be fair. SOE achived it's goal to reduce the number of CH so it is time we get something!

Okay, here are my 2 credits...we need 3 more mounts. First, we need a Tusk Cat as a nonCH mount. There are currently a bunch of Tusk Cat riders on Naboo, so it only makes sense. Have it be just a little bit slower than the x34. We need something to be able to sell again, and no one is going to buy a mount if they are slow as they are currently. Second, Peko Peko for CH only, have them as fast as a Speederbike with the Negotiation of a x34. And Third, Reptilian Fliers for MCH...as fast as a Swoop with the Negotiation of an x34.

In short, something to sell to non CHers, something as a reward for CHers, and something sweet for us MCHers. Maybe move the Peko Peko to MCH only (along with Fliers) and add another fast pet for the CHers, maybe a kliknik or dalyrake.

Yea, it makes sense to use a flying pet as alot of birds are pretty fast, I don't know what the fastest bird is (I don't mean the perigrine falcon and its 200MPH dive, I mean flying normally), but I'm sure there are birds that can keep up with a car on the freeway.
