Hey everyone! Yesterday Skybound's player traffic soared to extreme proportions, so I'm making this thread to keep players updated with what I'm working on, what I've completed, and what I'm planning to add.
Current to-do list: -Dynamic mechanical functions (i.e. destroying propellers reduces ship speed.) -Floating islands -Crews -Teams -Events (bosses) -Weapon selection window -Body persistence -Game pass bugfixes
Recent additions: -Basic storms. Lightning will attempt to strike ships, causing damage. -Melee weapons (Knife, Machete, Sword). Until I add the weapon selection window, the sword will be given by default. -Made the Leaf Blower reusable if it has fuel left -Ship health billboard guis
Known bugs: -Flying into a seat with the leaf blower will cause death and a white screen -Teleporter and Flying House game passes seem to break for some people upon first use -Ships can merge into each other
Suggestions can be posted here: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=101537784
This patch should be released at ~3:45 PM EST |

Setting your ship up is too much of a chore/ too confusing.
You should make non-options be greyed out, or at least display a "You don't have the funds" ui pop up.
You should have more options available immediately to newcomers.
The game is too confusing, and combat is fiddly.
I also hate having to spawn a new ship in every time I die. If I could spawn on someone else's ship which is a friend, that would be lovely.

1) If you mean switch ships in the customization menu, I agree, I'll rework it. 2) If you mean in the shop, I'll add that. 3) Right now it gives new players a Tier 1 ship from one of the three types. I think I made these ships cheap enough to where you can usually buy a new one within 10-15 minutes of play time. 4) Yeah, I wasn't prepared for the sudden influx of users, so the current tool selection is meager and doesn't allow for much strategy. 5) Yeah, this is probably going to be an entire update itself. I'm planning on making it so you can have alliances and crews, so you and your friends could all be on the same ship. |

Regarding the last post, maybe a new category of ships ? Collective Ship? Would have multiple seats to prevent your friends from falling off maybe? |

| Sometimes the ships don't let you claim them. It will say "Press E to claim this ship," but it will not let you claim and the ship will disappear. |

| And yes, it would be good to at least put extra seats in the ships so your "teammates" don't fall through the walls. |

1) if ships crash there's an explosion on the collision point and damage is dealt to both ships.
2) Weapon section for ships that have mini guns, rocket launcher, and maybe even a ray gun at a really high level.
3) When more tools come out you should add a parachute (self explanatory) and a hang glider with is like the parachute, but has faster movement.
4) Other than that, this game is terrific, maybe just add some smoke effects when the planes are partially damaged. |

| Dynamic lighting is so EASY. You goto Lighting, then you enable 'Shadows' or something like shadows. e.e |

| I try to do the flagship routine often. When I use the Balloon Motorcycle Thing-A-Ma-Jig I always land and then bounce. This is a ROBLOX mechanic, but i'm hoping you can rework that. Danke |

| When you update the game, can you shutdown every server. This way all the updates will take effect straight away rather than waiting for a new server to start. |

I think there should be abilities that allow you ship to in a sense "freeze" the other ships in place so that it easier to board them or blow them to smithereens. Also you should add turrets to the tier 3 combat ship so others can shoot while you drive. Also add a ejector seat to the defense ship so you can shoot you teammates out of your tier 3 defense. And finally add seats to the tier 3 mobility ship to allow friends to sit in with you.

Good Game, here are some Ideas:
1.) When you enter the drivers seat, The camera zooms out so you can see all of your surroundings.
2.) Lazerbeams as ship weaponry.
3.) ESCAPE POD'S
4.) When the ship is destroyed, Let it free fall with a timer on top of your screen telling you time until the ship self destructs. This gives time for the player to do awesome free fall stunts in the ship AND ALSO when your ship is falling you get a new item in your default inventory called "Duel Wield", basically what this is, is 2 pistols you can use to shoots the players and it enables a new physics mode where the player can jump off the walls, bounce of the ceilings, barrel roll in the air.. You get the picture.... While falling..
5.) Rain and Snow features
6.) Transformer Ship: Ship can transform from a jet into a Mini pod that hovers.

I found a bug (a really bad 1) and i cant send you a PM so im gonna say it here...
When i use the sword in 1st person i damage myself!! and i think in third one too
Now a cool idea: -Clouds everywhere: so we can hide in them and make storms more dangerous -Fog: this one is very important and useful, because actually i can see ALL the map and is impossiblu to hide and its easy to do -Placeable explosives: like C4, because when im in a airship the rocket sometimes are not enough to destroy it -Grenade launchers: faster than rocket but less range and have bulletdrop -On Boat Cannons: as everyone says is hard to destroy boats just whit the rockets -Self destroy boat (or dinamite suit): lalalalalalalalalal *boom* -Grenades (trowing ones) -Sticky grenades: AWW Yeah -FIRE!! and FIRE!! extinguishers will come handy in big boats -Guns for killing pilot whiout damagin' the preciated boat when yours is destroyed -And please dont make a lot of expensive passes ლ(ಠ_ಠლ) , whit those the game will become unfair for poor people ( all the Nbc peple)
i know that is a lot of work but i hope some day those ideas makes the game even better
i really apreciate that you have readed my ideas ಥ_ಥ because they are not bad
sorry if im a noob by sayng this here but i cant hold it sorry really |

| Why not give combat ships a purpose?SAY they have firepower....But they are just regular ships that cannot do anything special. |
