I think flying mounts would be awesome in the game from helicopters to giant birds or dragons what do you people think?
Maybe, but I think that a jetpack will suffice, But I'm not saying your idea is bad in fact it is really great. I'm just thinking that there wont be too much to explore in the sky on less difficult planets. But wonderful idea regardless.
Jet-packs are all but confirmed in the avians' introduction so there will almost definitely be some form of air travel. I don't like the idea of a helicopter too much, they are rather slow compared to other forms of air travel, although it's easier to implement vertical takeoff and their overall mobility. Dragons and such would be cool, although they would be extremely hard to believably pilot. I'm happy just riding around with my jet-pack.
As long as it's not something like jet-packs, but actual vehicles, I'm okay with it... If possible the vehicles should also have a fuel requirement or an energy requirement.
I'm sure they will have some sort of energy requirement (at least, if other vehicles have one), but I'm almost certain there will be jetpacks, as stated in the avians' announcement "Avian generals forge wings for themselves that function much like jetpacks." Now, this may only be for npcs, but it will likely be a high(ish) tiered item as well. That said, a jetpack isn't a really good vehicle, like a helicopter it trades off speed for vert takeoff, hovering, and control so I expect there will be more flying vehicles.
I don't think mechanical wings would be too practical. its made of metal, and there's nothing to help it takeoff. Jetpacks on the other hand, are awesome and it can take off in a flash, plus it kinda has wings already
I know, and I respect that, but really, jet-packs are becoming like zombie games, every other game has them. Why not think outside the box?
i look forward more to jet packs than anything, but i think it would be neat to have other vehicles that can fly, at the moment i can't help but suggest something like a pelican from halo, not because of style or anything, just because it can take off vertically, it can hover, it can have weapons, it can move fairly fast, it can haul cargo around, it can hold a few passengers, and it can look futuristic at the same time!
i would like a dragon or an eagle or something but not sure about helicopter maybe a cargo helicopter that can transport a lot of goods.
I'm game with flyable vehicles/mounts/jetpacks as long as their use is limited. Too much flying completely ruins a worlds sense of scale and explorability in my opinion.
