Rocketboards

Pretty simple really.

I would like to see rocketboards added to this game as a travel power.

I know we already have hoverdisks but, they look ugly to me and I wasn't a fan of how they handled when I tried one at the powerhouse.

I'd like to see something that looks more like the ice and earth slide powers as far as the animations go where you're standing on something like a high tech surfboard but, without the falling mechanic that occurs with those powers when you're not moving forward.

One good example of what I'm asking for would be the board the kid in the original cartoon Transformers movie uses at the very beginning of the movie where it looks something like a skateboard without wheels that has small wings and rockets for propulsion on the tail.

    I second this. A tech and fast rocket-board would be a very good addition and something I'm willing to spend Z for

    This should at least be a skin for the Hover Board power ...

    Pretty much what I was thinking. They'd most likely implement it as it's own seperate power so they can charge zen for it but, I'd be okay with paying zen to get one.

    Same here, but it seems wrong when we have so many "flavors" of flight that they can't just drop another skin or two on Hover Board for free ...

    There still has to be (at least) two different versions of the power with the drop down menus for changing skins and emanation points. That's how it works, and that's why we don't see much else being done with 'em anymore. There's already an enormous number of "different" powers from this they have to keep track of with every patch. I think each advantage also acts as a separate power. Until they implement a better way of handling this I wouldn't expect too much else to the tune of drop down menus on powers. As it is, if they have to make a new power to keep track of anyway it might as well be separated from what it's a re-skin for.
