Hey guys, I'm as fresh as a newborn to the server (as well as the SWGEmu project in general), so my knowledge of the current goings-on is admittedly limited. I played SWG extensively, but any of my experiences before the NGE/CU/Wotever are faint, brief memories. I had gotten into the game with a heavy focus on JTL content (which I do understand is in the works, and I assume will be implemented as it becomes available/convenient), so what I remember of the ground combat is almost purely CU framework. I liked how combat felt; not so much everything else. I much prefer the feat-based system that appears to have been in place before then, even though combat feels a bit chunky now.

I started on Basilisk, and got somewhat acclimated to the systems and everything - but was made rather sad when I noticed that speeders seem incapable of accepting any passengers. I've noted people mentioning that multi-passenger vehicles didn't really come around until the Combat Update rolled out. Moreover, I fully understand that the main objective of this project is to revitalize the game when it was at its "best." I know that the Basilisk devs are super set on keeping everything very vanilla, core 14.1. I was curious, however, as to what y'all's stance on adding a few of the more peripheral features that the update brought around was.

I did notice mention of some of the houses (mustafar bunker, for one) from the post-update content that you guys added in, and so I'd like to put the case in for integrating speeders with multi-passenger functionality. A great deal of my enjoyment in running around with my friends planetside involved us all hopping in the same floatboat and bantering it out. It was an unexpectedly important feature to me, for reasons I'll resolve not to take up more space with. :P

In short, I suppose, I'd love to see the multi-passenger capability of speeders return, so that friends and squadmates can travel together in style, in lieu of in a fleet of various vehicles/mounts. I'm sure setting up the code for it would be more daunting than it may sound, so whether it's a big priority is of less consequence to me than simply knowing whether or not it's something y'all would consider were it an available feature.

The first multi-passenger that worked, from what I remember, is the AV-21. Which would coincide with the corvette mission being active. At no point did the regular land speeder accommodate two passengers in pre-cu.

Sadly no vehicles had this until the CU.

I hear ya! I've been keeping my eyes peeled to see if anyone figures out the code for it though. Might not be pre-cu, but I want it! ;)
