Vehicle Travel Power?

I doubt this is the first time someone is suggesting this, but how about a vehicle travel power? And I'm not talking about the current vehicle war machines in this game with all the onboard weapons and mods and stuff.

I'm talking about just a simple travel power, like Super Speed, that turns you into a normal vehicle. There are so many great vehicle models vrooming on the roads of Millennium City and Vibora Bay to choose from.

I think many of us would love to drive around on the streets. And if attacked or making an attack, the player would just change back from vehicle to person, but with "super speed" still active.

    Something like that was what alot (maybe most) people have wanted in the past when they wanted vehicles. However Cryptic always said they didn't have "the tech" for that, and in the end we got those glorified become devices that a lot of players never really wanted.

    That is what people were asking for a while back. The current Vehicles are Cryptics answer to our request.

    Vehicles for the most part have been panned, so I wouldn't expect to see much more done with them, minus a new one with each lockbox.

    That train left the station a long time ago. As a device.

    The tech that they lacked was having someone on staff who would proxy power animations for a series of unique animation categories that worked while using your own powers while on the vehicle.

    Besides, vehicles were a pet project of a dev on his free time who revealed it to Cryptic and they went for it as the easy cash in.

    Always deliver in name. Never in function.

    I like the device vehicles. Means my character can still have 2 other travel powers in addition to being able to fly around in a jet/tank/hoverbike/flying jellyfish. Also there's the whole thing where I can pass it around between my characters, especially my alts, and how it's faster than travel powers. As it turns out, the player idea of "travel power vehicles" wasn't actually as good as the device vehicles they came out with in a lot of ways.


    As for ground vehicles, they tried it and it turns out they can't make vehicles that will conform to the slop of the ground you're on, so ground vehicles would be, to put it bluntly, quite crappy on anything that's not a perfectly flat bit of ground.

    Unicycles on the other hand would be possible.... sooooo, basically.. they promised us Unicycle vehicles and we should hound TT about them mercillessly o.o
