2015 - available for everybody (Mattel is selling this as a toy). So... it had to be produced earlier. And we don't have futuristic space ships yet - but they're in Starbound, in future. So we can tell that there's enough time for adding hovering on water, too.
Better check your avatar lol @topic So... devs, we would be pleased if you add hoverboards to the Starbound ^^ As for now, 14 persons will be happier, something like if you give us some cookies
Nice idea. I would end up face planting off of the board into lava narrowly escape and walk into a pit of acid.
So... sorry for double-posting, but I found another reason to implement hoverboards. What is it? Special attacks tadaaa~ that include using hoverboard. For example, if you fight with sword, you can accelerate yourself to perform some pro-looking attack. If it sounds OP, there can be added cooldown or coercion to hover quickly before you can do this, like sparks in Hermes Boots in Terraria.
I love this idea, this would be my favorite thing to ride around on. But I like to think that the hoverboard that we're thinking of is this: I loved that game.
Yup, something like this. This game is awesome But remember that devs must do it in 2D, if they will implement it. We must make a sacrifice of a cat and wait for the devs first. And no, not my shocked cat in avatar. lol
I know this will sound crazy, but I was thinking they might be able to implement some sort of ground based hoverboard with wheels. Because of the ground based nature of it, you would only be able to gain speed by going down slopes (or perhaps attaching some sort of jet engine). However you would also be able to construct upwards facing slopes to allow you to fling yourself into the air without the need for a normal, old, expensive hover board. This would allow users who aren't so technologically and monetarily wealthy to enjoy all the perks of a board based transport system without having to splash out too much. Just some thoughts on the matter.
