I know I am. Almost all ships have visible weapons so let us put them to good use on the enemy or ourselves. I would also like to able to equip a shader to my ship or sparrow. Who wouldn't enjoy taking their customized ride out into battle our a race around the zones? The barrier for space battles could be the standard turn back zone. The gameplay could handle like Ace Combat or even better. We could be engaged by enemies while trying to enter or leave orbit. Bungie could easily do these things. What alot of people loved about Halo was the scenery in space but all we get of space is the menu or the scene from The Reef. Like it or not this is a game based on space, I would just like to see more of it. I think Bungie knows this goes for most of us. Dont forget to FOLLOW for more posts about various topics. THANK YOU

It's one of those things the developers probably would like to do, but since there's no way to gather metrics from the game to support these ideas it's hard to justify to the folks setting the budget that's it's worth the development time. I'd say the easy way to give it a test to see fanbase support of the idea is to just put in shaders for ships and sparrows and make them only rewarded by doing a specific task. For sparrows a simple concept: make three check points and a portal. If the player can get through all three and into the portal within a certain window of time it takes them to an area with a loot box that always drops a random sparrow shader along with some glimmer. Have the loot box reset every day so players could do it multiple times a week, and just watch the numbers. How many do it? How often do they do it? Do they still do it when there's no reward? Do others do it with them to race them? How often does this occur? What percentage of the fanbase does this? And so on, and so forth. Only once they have valuable data to support the development can they justify doing it. It's a Triple A game, and neither publishers nor studios make decisions lightly with 500 million dollar investments in a 10 year IP.

I want tea-bagging contests

They had to cut content to resell us 3 months after launch. I doubt they hadlve that content locked on the disc to sell us as well
-
No thanks
-
Brand new dogfighting DLC 59.99 hehe
-
I have a ship that looks a lot like something from star fox and I would love to be able to shoot some fellow guardians with it
-
Dogfighting all the way I would $30 just for an expansion with only that

Id like sparrow racing so you could make bets on players for marks,glimmer and gear
-
I'm sorry but not everyone can fly plane in communist future only if they choose u from birth
-
How are you gonna make speeder bikes from Star Wars and not have a racing playlist? Straight up missed opportunity Bungie.
-
This would be great but let's be honest, bungie can't even fix the raid so how are they going to make dogfighting
-
-
Heck. Yes.
-
You realise that asking for dog fighting with space ships isn't just some small update right? That's a massive thing to ask for. Requires huge amounts of work and an even bigger budget. Are you willing to pay more for space fights? Sparrow racing isn't as hard to do so I agree there. Although it would quickly get boring as a "side game" it would still make a nice change
-
I'm ready! But ya know who isn't? BUNGIE
-
Sounds like something they'll hold off for the sequel, Destiny 2!!! But don't expect to get both of these modes implemented! What incentive will you have to buy Destiny 3?!! To continue a compelling story that you're emotionally invested in? .......HAH, don't be stupid!
-
It's OP needs nerfed already.
-
On one condition... That we can bravely charge into battle with ships that aren't all the colour of poop! :p
-
Isn't everyone :P
-
There is going to be shaders for sparrows, there is an unfinished object of a sparrow shader in the game, and I completely agree that there should be dogfighting.(There are also unfinished ship shaders!)
-
I would rather have more of everything else.
-
Sparrow races would be badass. You could even buy upgrades or tweak sparrow stats at the shipwrights hangar. People I play with kinda race to the next area anyway. Why not make it more fun? Dogfights would be an awesome idea, if we weren't dealing with the current bungie community. People that suck at it would get shot down 3 times, then come on the forums crying to nerf the ship that shot them and a buff for their own. And you know they would..
-
+1 both PvE and PvP space battles. much potential.
-
Honestly thought it was going to be in the game as soon as I saw the planet travel system instead of a shitty cutscene
-
There is a ton of basic mechanics like voice chat, clan management, in-game grimoire, player trading, etc that I would rather see first. Yes, those things sound fantastic! However, they have a limited development staff and I would rather they work on core problems than deliver cruft. There would be so much rage if they did these things before fixing others... Mainly I just want my Bad Juju to have more impact... weapon problem solved.
