Glitch Vehicles

Something that I think would be really fun is to be able to buy/craft vehicles with multiple occupants, which would make traveling around glitch faster and even more fun. Some of the faster vehicles could be more expensive to maintain, and they could run on gasoline made out of general vapor.

For example:

Bike: 1.5Xwalking speed , seats 1, no gas needed

Tandem Bike: 1.5Xwalking speed, seats 2, no gas needed

Golf cart: 2Xwalking speed, seats 3, tiny amount of gas usage

Small Car: 3Xwalking speed, seats 2, small amount of gas usage

Normal Car: 3Xwalking speed, seats 5, moderate amount of gas usage

SUV: 3Xwalking speed, seats 7, large amount of gas usage

Boat/Canoe/Kayak: For traveling new routes between different continents that are separated by bodies of water. Seating, speed and gas usage depends on boat type

Airplane: Flies! Seating, gas usage and speed depend on type of plane (but generally speedy and huge amount of gas usage)

UFO: ?!!?

I have no programming knowledge and this is probably difficult to program, but just throwing the idea out there! :)

  • Interesting idea, but gasoline doesn't seem Glitchy enough.

  • Biodiesel made from guano!

  • Cars and massive SUVs filling the streets of Ur? Hope not.  I see more than enough of those IRL.

    Walking too slow? Try hairball.

    Hairball too slow? Learn teleportation.

    Travel in groups? Use "Follow".

  • I think I'm with the Cat Face on this.  But, maybe another vehicle wouldn't be a terrible idea, if it was Glitchy enough.  Like an airship that floats from street to street, maybe randomly, with a rope ladder that hangs to the ground for Glitches to climb up.

    And, a bicycle like thing, which would be just as fast as being on hairball, but would have the limitation that you couldn't climb or jump with it.  It would mostly just look really cool.  It could be a tandem bike, though, which might have some utility for following.  It would be a really handy thing in the Ancient Lands, for sure!

  • walking and meeting people face to face is friendly.   Seeing people in or on vehicles zooming by isn't.  Why do we need to move fast?

  • Here's a prior thread on a similar topic.

  • How about ostrich? definitely glitchy enough.  Maybe we get the bonus of ostracism in ancestral lands, where they repel jujus or something.

  • Yeah that would be a great idea but the cars would have to be seriously quirky like a carrot car or chicken car :D

  • Nice idea, but I think they vehicles shouldn't be so realistic. I agree with the Ostrich idea :D

  • Riding lawnmower! Not too fast and it's functional. Then, add a small cart it can pull! Give a friend a ride. Next, we will need drive-ins, like Sonic. And, of course...Roller Blades!!!!

  • I like the idea of silly vehicles, not so much for speed boost, but just to add variety.

    A dirigible or hot-air balloon does seem more Glitchtastic than an automobile, and has the advantage that it doesn't add to crowding on the ground.

  • I agree that it would be fun to have things to ride around on, but have to second the motion that it not be cars. I don't think the giants would imagine something that'd fog the air up with fumes.

    A dirigible would be awesome, just so I could say dirigible more often.

    Dirigible.

  • I like the idea of the randomly-appearing dirigible... maybe it could have its own musical alert a la the Rube, and you could throw parties on it or something. If it's instanced like the subway, perhaps everybody getting on from one street could all appear in it at the same time at least. 

    It'd also be pretty cool if you could jump out of it rather than absolutely having to use the ladder to exit.
