    This thread is kinda for the Lolz and creativity!

    You use this bubble thingy to create a controllable, aerodynamic bubble that surrounds and carries you. Its a "slow" (Not THAT slow) transportation system but it makes you fly :) You can pop it anytime by attacking/ pressing a simple button inside your bubble (or if you get attacked from the outside but this makes this type of transportation dangerous. If the devs want, they could make the bubble have "armor" which gives the bubble "health" if attacked from the outside but not inside)

    Maybe these bubble thingies can provide you an air source on a planet with unsuitable air :rofl: as a last resort and transportation!

    If it doesn't get put into the game, I'd imagine it would be easy to make this with a modified version of a jetpack. But it would be pretty awesome/hilarious to float around in a bubble.

    This reminds me of a frequent event in Planetside 2, where the enter/exit key is right beside the reload key by default. At 500m up (in aircraft) this is often punctuated by the screams of the soon-to-be-pancaked (ie my little brother.) As such I totally support this idea, purely for the epic laughter and/or beverage (read:beer) spit takes that will undoubtedly occur. :rofl:

    Will this game have wind speeds?

    I couldn't think of a better way to explore your world. Oooooh! How about interplanetary bubbles? I SHALL TRAVEL ACROSS THE GALAXY... IN A BUBBLE!!!

    I'd be nice if you could fart underwater,forming small bubbles,and if enough fart-bubbles got together they could form a larger bubble you could use to float around.
    eeeeeyyup.

    I love this idea. The original idea that is... Not the fart bit.

    Interesting idea, perhaps it could be used as a mini game like the game bubbles?

    Intriguing.

    Another simple, and yet great idea. Bubbles large enough to stand in always had a certain charm to them. Though I'm simply curious - would gravity affect these bubbles in any way? Or traveling through water? And(if there is wind), how would it all affect the bubble? Because if it's controlled by your own energy, it means one thing, and if it has a propeller at the bottom, it means an entirely different interaction with your surroundings.

    Either way, i think it is a great idea. It just needs to be executed right.

    Would be pretty cool. I'm sure I've seen something similar in another game, and I very much enjoyed it.

    Reminds me of that Bubble stage from SM Galaxy. I ****ing hate that stage so much I punch the nearest kid in the face because just hearing about it pisses me off....
    Ok enough ranting.

    Bubblessss! (translated: yes please)
    If it hit the ground or a wall, though, it should pop. Kind of like the Cat in the Hat bubble levels...And if a rainstorm occurred, the bubble should be hard to control due to wind. Perhaps if lightning struck it, it would also pop. Or if it floated too high...

    Is it comfirmed if planets have windspeed?

    I like this idea, would be cool.
    I think there is wind in the game but I'm not sure, if there is wind in the game then this bubble thing would be even more interesting.
