I like the idea of having a flying creature as a mount! that sounds too cool. Also have the speed increased so that we are at the speeder bike speed. and this should only be a CH mount.

how about a ravenous torton or a young malkloc plainswalker. make it so people know when a master ch is ready to enter a city. granted i would kill for a mountable rancor but at point just want something really huge

just had an idea (which i fully admit to blatantly stealing from WoW) if we do get a flying mount thats MCH only, what if we were able to use that mount instead of a shuttle? it could only land at shuttle ports but maybe it could take off from anywhere?
an MCH that has one wouldnt have to pay shuttle fees but obviously the mounts couldnt be used to travel to another planet.

i'd like to see rancors as mounts for FS MCH's. if the NS are FS and now we can be aswell, i dont see why not.
I also really like the idea of being able to mount a Fambaa or hufdun and have a multi person howdah type thing. If the stupid gunguns can train fambaa's to carry shield generator things then surely we should be able to train them as mounts.

Big Mount : ravenous torton, rancor, graul, kimogila, giant peko peko, mantrigrue screecher, enraged reptilian flier.
Out of those, the land based would allow the MCH to use specials whilst on the mount, and the fliers allow the MCH to (every hour) use the bird like a shuttle.

I'm working on writing a document to explain the current and desired direction of Mounts in SWG (largely using feedback from the forum and from my "Let's Talk About Mounts" thread from a while back).
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.
It's time to start giving some things back to Creature Handlers, I think.
There is still plenty of room to "dabble" in CH, you just have to be very picky about what skills you take, and you pretty much require a BE pet. The dabblers will be the ones looking for some kind of meat shield to anchor a mob in place while they blast it at range, so they really won't be doing much taming in the wild.Still, it would be nice to let these guys have access to the same new perk, since they did actually invest some skill points in the profession, unlike all the folks with CL10 BE uber-bugs (not creature bugs either, programming bugs! 
)
)If I could wish for one thing related to mounts, it would probably be a few different types of mounts to choose from, who are comperable to Speederbikes in terms of speed and terrain navigation, and are only useable by high-level or Master level Creature Handlers.

I say B and C.
A pet for low level CH (say 1-1-1-1), such as a cat. And for the Masters something truely special, maybe a flier or something like a Rancor.
I'd love to train my Great Sludge Panther to be mountable. What an awesome sight that would be.

Im all for a flying mount for MCH As long as it is a Mantigrue grovels to the great and divine Vert. Peko, peko's eeek, nah it wouldnt go with my outfits, I want a sleek black velvety flying killer please And it would give my Hermes a new lease of life when I finally get my Screecher to replace him.

I'd rather walk than ride a rancor ... I dont even own one, far too big to fight round.
I think the a cat for CH would be nice, and a horsey type mount for non CH, a Tybis would be lovely, they dont sell well as BE pets but I think they'd look lovely with a saddle on. Or maybe a gualama. Actually why cant bagerasets be made mountable? They are the same shape as Brackasets and Humbabas etc, people often ask if they can, and it's a shame as they'd make really pretty non-ch mounts.

Ok after much though I would say it should be a perk for the MCH only. It should be fast and sleek. Something we could climb off of and have it fight by our sides. The cats fit that bill. the gsp is perfect. Not the highest lvl but can have two out one to ride and one to run with you into battle. Then again I just love the cat type pets....but that is my two cents.

I wouldn't mind teh Giant Pekko Pekko be Mountable with the Terrain Negotian of an AV-21 and teh Speed of a Swoop. To make it fait you can shoot from it because you are flying to high or somethign like that but you also shouldn't be targetable eighter.
