Idea for Vehicles (Oh look, a dead horse...)

So let's get this straight....you not only want to use up developer time that can be spent on doing things like making MM masterminds 'colorable' in the power editors as well as giving us new zones and goodies like costume piece but you also believe that anyone who is active on the forums and in the game apparently has no life?

I do admit I asked for a vehicle power and someone explained to me why it couldn't happen and the reasons why it shouldn't happen. Due to this I am against such things and now believe the devs can spend their time on working on better things then having to rewrite almost every aspect of the game.

I think vehicles offered in the game in some way is a good idea - when the devs have a lull perhaps. I have loads of characters where the idea of super-powered travel just doesn't work and vehicles would be appropriate. If they were weaponed up then it would make them fun in the outdoor environments too.

And it could be done but maybe sticking to jetpacs etc.

A power pool added (comparable with the leaping, speed or flight powerpool) - Tech Travel or some such.

1. Jump-Pac
2. Exo-Harness (accelerator): Increases rate of attack and damage for example
3. Jet-Wings: Can be enhanced just like flight
4. Missile attack: Over shoulder/wing projectile attacks from either the Exo-Suit or the wings of the jet-pac.

Not perfection but it would satisfy my desire for some toons to avoid super-travel powers whilst also being an okay pool power (that could be used indoors).

There are all *sorts* of ways to deal with this, and lots of comic-book precident (Batmobile, Ghost Rider's motorcycle, etc.) but the level of effort needed to pull it off is prohibitive.

If you could currently jump on a car/truck, actually enter a train, boat, or helicoptor and *ride* them, rather than bouncing off or doing an immediate zoning, then I would say devving this would be annoying but not impossible. As it is, it would take a serious engine revamp.

Not to say that this can't happen. Afterall, there have been lots of 'impossible' things that have been/are being done right now, but while I'd love WildClaw to have a big industrial-looking diesel turbine motorcycle available for RP and immersion purposes; I would put this as a relatively low priority compared to increased customability of existing powers, more powerset proliferations, and moving the storylines forward.

Just want to say, cars would be ridiculous as you'd have to stick to roads. Helicopters would be ridiculous going into certain areas like trams or Vault Reserve. All manner of vehicle would be ridiculous driving on stairs, in or around certain buildings such as, but not limited to, City Hall, Vault Reserve, Wentworths, and the University. This isn't GTA. Vehicles would be a horribly awkward fit.
