    A) Frosted boots can be worn anywhere, but have a significant drawback (sliding) to balance the speed boost.

    2) The new power board obviously uses the same code as the Risa boards, which aren't built for use anywhere else. Making this one work anywhere would require significantly more coding, which they probably couldn't justify just for a one-off thing to celebrate a movie.

    iii) If they made it usable anywhere and of significant usefulness, and kept it 'limited', can you imagine the angst unleashed when all the players who miss out on it figure it out? I mean, I'm already anticipating the whine-fest to come even tho it is basically a useless toy as-is.

    I was so watching BtTF2 at the time I saw this post...."Exhilarating isn't it" said Cmdr Kruge. "Precisely on schedule" retorded Emmet!! Lol

    This. Just this...

    Its a nice gesture from the devs to mark a film thats fairly popular amongst this game's audience. Its also 100% free. Making it work elsewhere would likely take a LOT of time and effort for a (humorous) one-off freebie. Lets stop the whining and appreciate something that we've been given.

    Pretty cool =) Love that its account bound and not character bound.

    I bet its only for social zones.. which is ok I guess. But I do hope its usable at least in winterland and Risa!!!

    It seems the nature of the forum is that every gift horse needs to be looked straight at the mouth. Garak taught us well.​​

    Trendy, please, please, fix all this wasted space in forum posts.
    I'm talking to people and trying. I HAVE NOT YET SUCCESSFULLY CLONED MYSELF.


    Why clone yourself when you can go back in time, to help yourself, or your future self can travel back to help you?

    Trendy, if we claim this board once on one character, will the option to claim it stick around for *all* characters on the account after the week is up?
    I'll double check, but I'd recommend you claim it on all characters.


    The dev blog does say "giving away a free, account unlocked Future Flyer" though clarification would be nice as it appears there is some doubt.

    Can we get some Sluggo Perfect from the replicators too? LOL

    BTW, I thought BTTF Hoverboards worked lousy over water.

    Quotes aside, can this be a actual hover board that we can roll around in ESD? I mean hoverboards really don't like water.

    I'm hoping that if we combine this with an EV suit we can do shuttle missions with it.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Yeah, I've posted again since then. :tongue:
    At the time, I'm sure you could understand my suspicion that this was a joke.

    I love that this is a thing, but have kind of a salient question.

    Will my future characters be able to claim it, once I've unlocked it in the store? Do I need to go through and claim it on all my characters now? I'm actually doing that second, but knowing the answer might help others.

    was excited to see this giveaway, just logged in to collect only to find out that its only usable on risa, and on the water only, so dissapointed as i was looking forward to seeing how it goes through the grounds of esd or the academy...

    Trendy has said she'd look into it, but it'd be best to claim them now if possible.

    That tells me the initial answer is "No, but I'll check to be sure."

    Has anyone else noticed that it's even got the "hole" where Marty broke off the scooter handle? :)

    I'd ask about the Delorean as well, but it seems to have been dismantled. The Flux Capacitor is sitting in a case on the Krenim conference room in the episode "Midnight".

    Its a really good board, tried it on Risa, but i also think that we should be able to use the boards on other maps too maybe even the floaters (board /boots on all maps, floaters only on Kobali Prime/Dyson battlezone and other very large maps).

    And maybe even with an option so that they don't get deactivated whne someone attacks us, mabye so that we can't attack but also no one else can attack us as long as the boots/board are active

    Is there seriously a flux capacitor-looking object in that episode?? O_O
