Having horns is a good start, now i'd like to see full customization, not necessarily to the extent of an actual racing game, but changing the sparrow parts to give it the custom look and abilities you want would be amazing.
you could add in sparrow parts maybe, like weapon and armor parts that let us either build or purchase customizations from Amanda Holliday. as for where to build it, i would say either add a new tab to the menu, add a new down arrow to have an area specifically for sparrow stuff, or have a kiosk for it like shaders and emblems, but instead of just holding them, it would let you equip the parts.
some examples of some parts are: tails could give rotation in air and for precision turns, the front hover pieces could determine your speed, the body would determine durability, and the thrusters could determine if it is either a fast sparrow like the new ones or has a super boost like the raid ones.
