Sparrows are fine as vehicles. They are much quicker than running and have enough manuverability to not be a moving target. What I am hoping for is an extra layer of customizable features that would make any sparrow, but simultaneously make the journey feel like they are something we earned instead of dropped out of thin air. So first a page from D1, having to get an engine that makes the sparrow trail different and possibly increase speed. I'm not talking about making the trail as special as exotic sparrows. Just a different color. Then maybe open a questline to get experimental parts that you can get through doing specific missions and/or killing certain amounts of enemies. Depending in the quest you choose, your sparrow might take on features like the enemy you had to kill. A taken shimmer on some, hive glow/markings, vex eyes or milk, ect. Small things to give our sparrows a little personality. I honestly would like it if it continued to becoming a species specific sparrow, but I don't know. Could go wrong. Maybe have the quest have multiple times you can change your mind so I looks like a vex sparrow, but the green glow of the hive mixed with it. Just things like that. And yes this would all effect the jumping from side to side ability. Vex have a teleport side to side, taken shimmer over, that kind of thing. Maybe give the sparrows type shields. Giving it the same positive and negative effect like enemy shields. Protects us from maybe two shots, and if destroyed with same type energy, we get hurt. It could be four types if shields. Void, fire, electric, and normal. Normal would be weaker than the rest with only one hit available, but wouldn't have the fear of exploding shields. I would like weapons though that is probably too out of the question. Like if you could have a little vandle heat seeking gun on the hood, hive knight sword on the side, or anything. And I want a good sparrow part of the raid. Maybe running away from an ogre or collapsing tunnel. Have us all going up a spiral while the chamber fills with some kind if death substance. Have different paths that branch off that you need to find two or three panels to open the door at the top. And that would be where the new sparrows would shine. Anyways, I thought I would put it out there and hope a dev might think it is a good idea.
