Like a wookiee trying to balance on it with one foot or trying to make himself as small as possible while he clings to its back


Naw, I want to see a 7ft tall Wookie on a Corellian Butterfly.


I read that this was brought up at the Fan Fest and the answer was no way. It is a Y axis thing. Besides what would happen when the inevitable poof happened.....


"Look upin the sky. It is a bird, it is a plane. No it is a MCH with a poofed mount"

really, the vertical-axis shouldn't matter. just make all the "flying" mounts just kinda hover a few feet off the ground, same as speeders.


they should be master CH only, non-transferrable, and should have more terrain negotiation than anything, cuz like, they're not running. i get that flying up-hill would be harder than downhill, but then you'd have to make them faster at going downhill since they'd just glide. slower going up, faster going down... that's just too much coding to deal with

I'd love to be able to use my GSP as a mount, it was the first pet I ever tamed way back before they had restrictions. Since he isn't much use to me anymore I'd love to have a use for him besides to sit in my datapad as a memory of the old days.
