Vehicular ideas dump

This thread is for dumping my scribbles aboy vehicle ideas.

I fully understand why we can't have land vehicles, but even if we are limited only to hovering rides, well...

Current models are very narrow in theme.

I'll start with something very simple, like:


Steampunk Hover Tank

It struck me that with all the love CO got for Steampunk theme, we have two relevant costume sets (Steampunk Cyborg and Victorian), we have no single steampunk-ish vehicle. It's even more strange, considering how easy it is to make steampunk hover tank, or plane.

Like this one:

A hybrid of the Passaic-class monitor, a casemate inronclad and a plane.

Possible color variants - crude iron, brass. No glow, unless on engine exhausts. Would look great with smoke effect from its prominent smokestack.


Inbefore someone states it looks ridiculous. Of course it looks ridiculous. Remind me last time when steampunk actually did not look ridiculous and made any sense, utility-wise.

    Personally, I think I would just like the enclosed vehicles to be 33% to 50% bigger/scaled up. They look a bit too small to accommodate all but the smallest heroes right now.

    But, as long as we're pitching ideas, I'd like some art-deco style vehicles like deco-bikes for a bit of a Retro-future look. Also, maybe if we could get some magical concepts for vehicles in too? I'm not sure what though.

    I'd immediately request refund for all my vehicles if Cryptic made them bigger.
    I bough both my rides because they aren't too big. Period.

    They could be made directly scaleable with character height slider, but that should be all.

    I finally figured out an appropriate Arcane themed mount:

    Horses!

    Or rather a pegasus, something based on Slepnir (the eight legged horse from Norse myth), skeletal steeds and nightmares, or even a plain horse that for now explicable reason flies!

    The animation would probably be a nightmare, admittedly, and it'll be hard to explain why a horse is shooting lasers, but maybe we can get some magically themed weapon systems too.

    Bump (though it was probably already seen).
