I also think speeder bikes should go faster, I feel like I'm just going at 10 mph. But I doubt they will fly from just a small increase in speed because when I drove one off a cliff, I fell like a rock and barely glided.

indeed a bad idea

Of course if bikes got faster, how would you be able to shoot them? Going at boost they are currently v difficult to hit.
Maybe missiles should be able to lock onto them - that could be fun

(Angel is of the opinion that missiles should lock on to every vehicle and some BI members. The missiles should be that advanced. Being able to switch between homing and dumbfire by pressin the 3 key would be v useful. )

A quick wookipedia search indicates that HH15 missiles and PTL missiles do NOT lock, yet the clone wars stuff did.
Angel is appalled at this travesty.

I agree with sykes. That would be cool to have more than one type of speeder bike.

AS they are now on some maps, they are fine (EST), however on other maps (Rhen Var Ice Plains) which also have tanks, the tanks move about the same speed as them. The tanks don't need slowed down, they feel just right, it seems the speeders just go to slow.
I think that would be a good idea because on Endor you are fast enough I think.

Well, you can make 2 versions of Speeders, instead of just making 1 version of the speeder faster.

problem afaik is that the speed is linked to the flight physics so that faster speed means flight.

dont quote me tho.

It would be cool if boost didnt run out and was a little faster.
that way normal speed is cruising, boost is flat out.

I played Galactic Conquest first. In this Mod for BF2142 the speader bikes are very fast. In contrast now in First Strike they are very slow, what do you think about making them a bit faster?
