Items And Loot Archive

Right now we kind of have the ol' "everyone in composite armor" effect goin on for speeders/mounts. Who in their right mind would lumber along on a bantha when it's like .01% faster than your own run speed? Add a speeder engine loot drop that increases your base speed that can go in any speeder chassis. That way we can pick our transportation based on style and it also gives us another loot item to lust after, looking for that super rare ultra high speed speeder engine. Maybe make a rare chemical that Bio Engineers can inject into mounts for the same effect.

people btich about everthing.

yeah.

and lets make all weapons do the same damage

and all clothes be the same color

and make sure no one's starship is faster/better than anyone else's

dumbest idea so far today (but the day is early!).

And FYI I actually use all my different mounts and speeders.... depends if I'm grouped with 1, grouped with more or solo or I just feel like riding a certain mount/vehicle.

How about reading the whole post, fellah. All speeders would have the same BASE speed, that you could upgrade through engine loot, like a starship. That way not everyone is using the same transportation based on what's fastest. It would add a lot of variety and give another cool thing to loot. What's so wrong with that?

Since this is apparently evading you I'll go slow: because the diff speeds add variety and make you choose. there should be a tradeoff between capabilities (speed/passengers in this case), just like every other thing in the game (armor/encumberance, weapon damage/range, etc etc).

Vehicles share a lot more similarities in concept to a starship than they do armor, weapons, etc. Did they make the JTL ships all have the same fixed stats? Nope. Granted, they have base weaknesses/strengths in handling/speed, but you can upgrade a lot of that with better looted/crafted engines. Maybe YOU use lots of different vehicles, mounts. But the vast majority just use what's most efficient. My suggestion takes nothing away, and adds variety. It honestly boggles my mind that anyone would prefer anything to be *less* customizable!
Unless maybe you only read the subject and thought I want everything to be the same speed no matter what? I'm saying base it on the engine, not the chassis, so you can use whatever you want and have the same potential for speed.

I think its a good idea. Atleast make some of the speeders faster. Now most people use the Swoop, BARC or AV because they are fastest.
