Well...in a way there are no vehicles in the game at all...
All current "vehicles" are really morphs ( changed player forms )...
Which is part of the problem of adding seats, changing color etc...
You ARE the vehicle. And I'm not a 2 seater :D
Which is also why you dont have vehicles you can visible sit, stand etc on...
Having actual vehicles that are not player morphs would be very very nice...but would require quite a lot of new code in the engine, I suspect.
Not only for the possibility of changing the look, but could open up for crewed vehicles with gun turrets etc.
Even riding animals would be nice. Or pets as Mürten suggested.
Have you seen the plainscales in Mort ? They have a rider on their backs :)
Imagine being able to charm a large animal and ride it...
Or a Leet for that matter... hehe
*imagines a big fat atrox riding a tiny Leet*

Great idea, I now really want to ride a leet.
A Vulture and a Gargantula too.
If vehicles are char. morph, where is the problem ?
The whole morph has just to look like a static char on a vehicle (or a slayerdroid for example abaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa).
-
Yes but the morph should be specific for every player then. That's where the problem is I guess. But since char are able to fly (MP like), the trick could be to just implement a separate form for the vehicle and make the character 'float' just above (only the top of the char could be seen, with his waist-legs superposed by the vehicle) giving the impression he/she's riding the vehicle. Of course that wouldn't be completely compatible with EVERY vehicle/pet that can be used but it's better than nothing and you could see who's riding what.
I really like the charmed Vulture-idea! What would also be funny is running on a rolling rollerrat, circus-like (facing backwards of the direction you're heading).
Oh and Stercoral : go back to work you lazy botanist PhD student!! Is the FNRS paying you 150€ a month more than me just to post on the forums?!

Oooops I forgot I had work to do, thank you Mürten.
I now understand the morph problem. It would be interesting to read an official response...

New tradeskill, vehicle custimization.
Could paint vehicle new color
add decals
flames
increase speed (ql increase of course as well)
possibly add number of people allowed in it
-
Good idea these tradeskills...

Lots of hoverbikes parked in Aegean where Red and Dodga are. Just need to couple the Quantum Wings flying animation with an extra bit of skin. A hoverbike shaped skin :)
And I want skysurfing - like Chopper in Judge Dredd - skysurf races round RubiKa!
Start with a circuit of Athen - loop over the statues, twice round the whompa, weave in and out of the shopping street - then out of the gate, grid to Mort from West Athen and then through the factory 2 metres off the ground. Touch a Borg Brigadier General then back to the gridpoint and over to Avalon. South through the vultures and 3 laps inside the Omni base, under the Juggernaut . . .
