Topic: Flying speeder bikes

What are your thoughts on people being able to launch the speeder bikes into air and fly them round maps?

personally I hope that the lore element in this would dictate that they stay close to the ground.

Re: Flying speeder bikes

When they do get airborne from going over a hill on Endor, they don't really stay up for more than a few seconds, do they?

Re: Flying speeder bikes

In Mos Espa you can fly over the city taking off from the ground.  It is lore acurate.. speeder bikes have a default alttitude of 10 meters.  If that ten meters over the ground can lift you high enough to be above a building.. the repulsor lift isn't gunna say, hey we're over a building not ground.. you'll be able to go 10 meters above the building.

Actually, I went on the Ninja Server once. There was a player who told me to switch the drive controls for land vehicles to my mousewheel. If you get on the speederbike and spin your mouse wheel quickly you can take off and fly all over the map so long as you keep on moving your mouse wheel.
