hang gliders?

[Homik]

They don't fly though

[Farren Kutter]

Yet...

[dying_inside]

Well.... maybe we can just wait and the Klyros will evolve....
And why do they have wings if they dont fly?


As to haveing it go off the Obelisk, where would you go too? "OMG wow, i just went all the way over too teh ovur syd ov Hydalaa 0n a hang glider lawl." 

Or " Ir teh pwnage cuz I crashed into a forest on teh way 2 da magik shup. I r teh |-|4r|)(0R3!!!!!!"

Why not use them as a cheaper form of air travel, maybe spells could be used to extend their range and cross distances quickly. Maybe even an easy way to descend from level to level. Just don't fall off!

[Anne Ominous]

... that's all i should say...

[Homik]

I had a funny dream last night where there were crystal powered enginese which propelled the gliders, it could be an upgrade thats purpostrously expensive so not eveyone has it

Before the Klyros came to Yliakum, they had lived in a universe with limited gravity, therefore they didn't need much strength to lift off.

[Suno_Regin]

How do you know that?

sounds like the airships in the voyage of the jerle shannara series by terry brooks.

[Krann Omins]

i could have sworn they were aquatic, making the wings more like fins

[Baldur]

How do you know that?

Suno: I've been in the KCP for too long to not know.

Krann: They are, they like to live in all environments, it's just that Yliakum has restricted them to water and earth.

whos to say that these werent invented earlier in PS. say we had some really smart dwarf and he invented a TV in the second year PS was around. its not like if it was invented somewhere THIS date it would be invented somewhere else the same date. obviously tv wouldnt get invented tho.

hmmm... if they come from a planet with limited gravity.. this means they can't gain height but they can glide... don't let them fly.. let them glide
as for the other classes : flying creatures (which is planned) or brooms ^^ lol now you'll hate me too because this is a cliché 
hmm maybe just drop the broom make that airships <= fantasy themed and practical ^^ aww what the hell just let us make floating houses XD (<= eh lol  this is not a bad idea)

Good point. Eagles often glide on warm air currents.

If that was brainstorming then ok, otherwise making floating cities would require immense engineering knowledge and resources. The Klyro's don't have that luxury at hand :]

Unfortunatly i'd have to disagree with the idea for two reasons.

The first, being the most important, would be:

1. Why would we need it?I mean we're going to have flying creatures some time in the game?

But I have a comment about that, why couldn't we just put it in first, have it there and then at some point in the game people could be like "Hey we found a new flying creature!Screw hang gliders." Which would work, but I don't think it'll happen.

and the second:

2. There is no second, I just wanted to say I like the idea and that it would be great fun, but the problem is is my first reason. There are going to be flying beasty like things so there are no need for gliders...but you know what people SHOULD discuss, creatures that walk on the ground and you can ride on'em. I see that discussed so little around here.
