Am I able to access hoverbikes in the nightly mode of the game, and if so how?

 

I hope that, when they are actually released, hoverbikes are able to hover higher than that, because they'll be kind of useless otherwise.

 

Wait, does this mean we AREN'T getting retro-futuristic hover boards that stop working over water?

 

it's called HOVER bikes. Not flying bikes.

 

Will the hover bikes come with guns? I think they should come with guns, or at the least have a upgrade to add a gun.

 

Another suggestion - add the robotic horse that Glitch knights (found in castles) ride as a "vehicle" so that we can ride that too. @mollygos, you know if your heart that it is a great idea.

 

Did that hoverbike just jump? That looked really weird.

 

If they don't, there's a high likelyhood someone will create a Mod to compensate the fans disappointed by the official stats/release.

Personally, I wouldn't mind a hoverbike with not only a more "flight" capable engine, but also having a mining lazer equipped!

EDIT:
Thinking about it, there's actually a lot CF (or the modding community) could do with Hoverbike tech.

1. Underwater exploration/dungeons/bossfights.
2. Asteroid exploration/dungeons/bossfights.
3. Expansion of your "Ship" capabilities/interactions (Dogfights IN SPACE)!
4. Farming Mechs: Overbikes that spray water over crops + Tractor that NPC's (in your colony) can use to harvest/plant your herbs and spices.

 

Shots fired!
It is objectively true, though
Also

So much this.

Enjoy!

 

Yeah! That's what I was asking for! Actually hovering hoverbikes!

 

Is it just me or does the matter manipulator look different,it looks way more rounded in the GIF.Is it just me,a new MM or a different item completely?[DOUBLEPOST=1445447399][/DOUBLEPOST]

Happy back to the future 2 day!!

 

vehicles should not be damaged by monsters but if we have to repair them with some expensive course material

 

My thinking exactly, I'll tend to read way too little text, before I click links. All I read was "hoverboard" and I was already celebrating. Then I saw the gif and was slightly
annoyed, that I just read the end of the title.

Question: If the hoverbikes are being faster than normal walking speed, and can only hover over +1-block heights and +2-heights need to be jumped over, otherwise it will
be breaking the speed - will that collision also damage the bike? Then we really need to look out for hills unless we don't want to crash.

 

That's exactly what I thought was missing when you first showcased the hoverbike

 

I guess I don't need to upgrade my mod hoverbike code. This is much better than my current solution and exactly how i hoped it would work.

 

And once again:

 

Kawa, make the existing mechanical horse sprites into a vehicle.

 

You really want that, right?

I read the title as We have Hoverbikes, now we get Hoverboards... Now I am kinda sad that that isn't the case. But even more I am exited for this stuff.
