Foxrynn Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I feel like the ground work is already there. Can we please have a dedicated mount that actives chest armor jetpacks and/or rocket boots? It wouldn't take away from the already existing legacy Rocket Boost seeing as how there's plenty of zones that restrict dedicated mount movement that the Rocket Boost capitalizes on. Presumably it would be activated like any other mount, and just "borrow" the Rocket Boost animation. Edited December 26, 2020 by Foxrynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFadedMemory Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) When/how does it activate? The current armor flairs, and attachments, activate while Pressing z or entering combat. Mounts can't be activate while in combat. Plus most characters can't use mounts until level 10, and that's after they buy the license. I see some difficult coding required to make this happen. I think it would be cool as a tuning like object, which is always visible, specific to chest/boots. It could have it's own hot key, and requires the speeder license to use.

DarkTergon Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 ... You summed it up way better than I did. what if someone got it, who didn't have a rocket pack? how would the animation work on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 what if someone got it, who didn't have a rocket pack? how would the animation work on them? The way I see it, it would *look* exactly the same as Rocket Boost looks on your character (or, if you don't *have* Rocket Boost, like it *would* look if you did have it, naturally).

I can imagine someone without a backpack having flames floating above them...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveTheCynic Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'd have to ask, why? For people who like the animation of Rocket Boost, but don't like that it only activates for twelve seconds, on a thirty-second cooldown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
