UltraAlt Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Team Transporter - vehicle customization You know - the flying vehicle that shows up when you use Team Transporter. There are a bunch of assets in the game that could be used, from Sky Raider vehicles, to helicopters and jets. Honestly, I don't really see the harm with a car showing up, but I guess it would look weird if it appeared in a body of water (same with a boat showing up on land - which would be more likely the case). I can't think of any other vehicle options that we have that could be used. (Though it would be funny to have the Mole/drilling vehicle show up for a means for team transport!) I don't think that there is a sleigh asset in the game, but that would be fun as well. I guess summoning up a mystic portal (a base portal item or the VFX for teleporting while in flight mode with the Sorcery set) for the VFX for Team Transporter could be an option as well. Other options might be say a dragon (easy enough to make with the costume creator) or bird creature. I suggest these two as they could show up flying like the current vehicles. I really started thinking about customizing this power when a friend and I were playing Marine Affinity characters, and I was joking about summoning up a dolphin to take us to the next mission. 4 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

Greycat Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 It'd likely need a new power for each ("Team transport - jetski," "Team transport - helicopter" ) or whatever, at least as my guess, but we've got multiple pet-transform-travel powers, etc, so it wouldn't be without precedent to have multiple START powers like that.

So long as they either all share the same cooldown so getting more than 1 choice doesn't give added uses between recharges or the character can only have 1 version, I'm fine with multiple versions being available if the devs are willing to make them for us. 2 1

I think this could be done through the power in the customization window. They would all operate the same. It is simply power customization.

It is simply power customization. They're not "your" power though. No temporary powers show up in the power customization window. Could they? Potentially, sure. How much work would that take, versus just having different team transporter powers with different vehicle models - the latter of which already has a precedent?

It isn't a temporary power. It is a Prestige Travel power. They have customized the stances. I see no reason that this can't be handled the same way. You can color customize portals. Heroes and villains already have different vehicles that show up when the power is used. I'm assuming Praetorians may have a different vehicle.

Greycat Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 12 hours ago, UltraAlt said: It isn't a temporary power. It is a Prestige Travel power. It's a power ;you purchase from the START vendor. It is not a primary, secondary or pool power. It is not a power that is part of your character. It may not have charges, but it's the same sort of power as one that does in that respect. Thus my calling it a temporary power. 12 hours ago, UltraAlt said: They have customized the stances. I see no reason that this can't be handled the same way. Stances are part of your character. Not something purchased from the START vendor. Nor are they a power. Also as a more relevant counterpoint, you'll notice we still have Ninja, Beast and Athletic Run as separate powers. I'd say combining them into one power would be even simpler than what you want to do, if they could do it - yet they're still separate powers. The *flip* side of that being that if you have a character that had (say) Beast Run and you wanted to use Athletic now, it costs nothing to revoke one and pick up the other. I don't know why you're arguing with someone who's essentially agreeing with you, just in a way that's likely much, much easier to get what you want in the game into it.

Greycat Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 1 minute ago, Fade said: This is incorrect, by the way. Hmm. Interesting. Thanks. Still say it'd probably be easier and more likely to just get different powers with their own models in though. (With the side benefit of possibly having more than one - extra cost - if the person wanted to.) 1 Kheldian Lore and Backstory Guide 2.0: HC edition Out to EAT : A look at Epic ATs - what is, could have been, and never was Want 20 merits?

Heliphyn34u Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 The blue callbox probably wouldn't be allowable just due to copyright issues. That said, it would be cool to have customizable skins or alternate versions of the Team Transporter available (whichever is possible). How it works now is alignment-based, right? If you're a villain/rogue, it calls an Arachnos flyer, and if you're a hero/vigilante, it calls a Longbow flyer. For in-game lore purposes, it seems like Goldside should have its own vehicle, though I'm not sure what that would be (a Praetorian Clockwork shows up, zaps you unconscious, then you wake up at the mission door?) It would be fun if the Golden Roller could skid to halt to transport you, or a small version of the ghost ship (ghost dinghy?) Or maybe just a large (tintable?) vortex that appears at your feet, and when you click it, it pulls you in. 1
Sakura Tenshi Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 This would be nice. I'd personally like to see the Osprey VTOL we get in the base editor as an option, probably scaled down though. 1
