My brain just combined back to the future with the surfer title reward, and the memory of ever spanable hoverpikes from PSA (so the tech must be there).
May I present: The new and improved directive 4 summer fun reward, the hover board!
It should buffer some fall damage and neglect all of it on slopes. I'd give it 2-2.5 times the normal running speed (whatever that is) with the intention to be able to trespass terrain more quickly and get to places you normaly wouldn't so easy (maybe at all, with enough inertia).
OFC it should always be spawnable.
I'd either replace it with the ability or utility slot, but abilities and weapons should be disabled while riding it.
Granates not, because fun. I'd really like to see a squad of hoverboard heavies with AV granates tryharding tanks.There also should be a 1-2 sec "cooldown" before you can shoot any weapon and there's ofc no slayride potential.
TLDR: A fun gimmick, not meta reward.
What's your opinion?
Edit: u/ps_nicto could/should it be done?
Could it be done; sure.
Should it be done; probably not as it would require a significant amount of animation work. Would be a ton of fun though.
Personally, I'd rather get the NS Segway in the game if we wanted to add some new fun vehicle ;)
