Are we every get Air combat?
this is not aion, but it would be cool to explore tyria from air.
Well, you can fight mobs in an airship during the personal story, does that count?
Underwater is bad enough, last thing I need is being divebombed from the skies.
How about…
A World vs World map that has several floating islands with keeps on them (keeps would have roofs to make it necessary to land for invading). You would have to build airships using supply to assault the flying keeps. The Airships themselves would support a helmsman that can control flying the ship as well as several cannon that can be manned by players. Keeps would have defenses to attempt to shoot down the airships as well as walls that could be breached by the airships.
There could be a few different models of airships available, from more siege oriented airships that are slower to more air-superiority airships that would be smaller and nimbler and designed for taking out other airships.
Airships would also have grappling harpoons that could be used to grapple an enemy airships where PvP would occur between both ships. Ships would contain an engine that, if destroyed by enemy players, would cause the ship to be destroyed.
Here’s another idea before we could build an airship, a tank from Charr’s tech.
