Just a few vehicle ideas I had...
= General =
Toggle-able Headlights - With 2.1, my screen and I believe many others, has become a great deal darker. Riding a vehicle at night can be very hazardous. Have you ever tried driving from Regant Fortress to Regant's Legacy on a Quad or Hover at night? It's brutal :lol: Please add headlights :)
Enter/Exit Vehicle Animations - Not sure who has played Planetside, but it's a large-scale FPS that is a TRUE FPS. All the vehicles there have an animation that plays when a player gets in and hour of a vehicle and you know what... it's f-ing awesome :D I'd love to see these in Neocron! And I would think that if it doesn't interfere with the high-speed FPS gameplay in Planetside, it would be fine in Neocron.
= Quad vs Hover =
Currently, there is no reason to drive the hover. The Quad has lower reqs, goes faster, and is better than the hover in just about every way. That's too bad because the Hover is a fine vehicle :( Not sure if the engine supports this, but if you made this change to the Hover, it would really make it worthwhile vehicle and worth having it around: Make the hovertech truly 'hover'! If the Hovertech worked on both land AND water - it would be the sexiest vehicle in-game and you'd see it around a lot more often!
Update Vehicle Models - Basically, see this post (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=124760). The Quad/Combat Quad set graphical standards in 'model reusage'! Honestly, the NeXT Reveler and Chaincraft should look different as well :(
= WoC Intelligence Glider =
Gliders are sadly underused vehicles :( Have NEXT develop it's answer to the Dome's Glider. Unfortunately it is incredibly complicated to operate and requires 37 VHC skill as well as WOC INT+1. But it's benefit is it is like the NEXT Quad - you'll always have it, even if it blows up! We'll have flying Spies, PEs, and Monks populating the Skies :)
