Anyone else thinking the game needed new sparrows? Well me and my brother would like to think we came through
The first sparrow I feel like satisfies everyone's desire to just run over some aliens...or spear. It's called "Gunnar's Atgeir"
And it's special perk, you guessed it, the ability to spear anyone that crosses your path. It would work similar to shoulder charge, after awhile of driving the sparrow would distinctively "hum", along with another indicator, and the right trigger would cause a short blitz and the unfortunate victim would be skewered on the spear tip. The name is a reference to a mythological Norse spear and it was known to "hum or sing in anticipation of bloodshed" maybe some red would pass through the jet stream if you were using the boost? We'll let you decide.
The second and last one is adding to the highly demanded Ahamkara lore and another desire at least me and my brother and cousin wanted. The ability to glide. This sparrow is going to be called
"Ahamkara's Volant." Using your boost from a high enough starting point would allow you to glide through the air like an Ahamkara looking for it's next victim to burn. Maybe some sleek looking Ahamkara style wings could be on the side? Open for great ideas for how it would look for either sparrow. Maybe you could even throw grenades from it? There is so much you could play around with when it comes to this sparrow. Maybe if the Ahamkara raid comes out it could give you a great advantage getting across a difficult part of the journey, that's up to you bungie!
Anyways if you want to see these in the game too, bump the hell out of this maybe bungie might read one of these for once, and if you're an artist who digs these concepts, hit us with some concept art!
Edit: Thanks for all of the support you guys!
Bonus: I also been thinking of this but didn't think it needed a whole new post. A shader called "nebula" that would make your armor look like space, I would kill for that.

Reading all of the posts to this item has give me a idea for the game. Have a gauntlet section for a raid where you need an exotic speeder too run the section. Make the speeders 2 person, where one drives and one shoots.

Edited by lightningrod713: 3/24/2015 8:40:45 PM[b]Mobile Command Center (MCC)[/b] Special Perk: very slowly regens ammo for all 3 weapons and reloads a fresh clip when you get on. [b]Knight's Gambit[/b] Special Perk: Give the guardian a melee weapon (sword, axe, mace etc.) and allows him to make light attacks when moving normally or charges when boosting [b]My Game, My Rules[/b] Special Perk: Defies the laws of gravity and allows you to ride on both horizontal (floor and ceiling) and vertical (walls) surfaces [b]B2[/b] Special Perk: Lets you throw grenades while moubted and grenades regen faster when on your sparrow [b]SR72 Blackbird[/b] Special Perk: After boosting off a jump, hold R2 to activate afterburners and take flight. You lose the ability to cut and corner faster but you can still do the shifts with R1 and L1 [b]Treasure Hoarder[/b] Special Perk: When ridden, creates a large magnetised area that pulls in all ammo boxes and engrams towards you. [b]Backscratcher[/b] Special Perk: This sparrow loves to go fast. A few seconds after activating the boost and as long as it is heald and you are moving, Bacscratcher generates an impenetrable shield (like Ward of Dawn) [b]Pimp Mobile[/b] Special Perk: When ridden, this sparrow booms out fat beats for all to hear [b]Car Pool[/b] Special Perk: Allows two Guardians to ride the same sparrow. One drives while the other shoots any one of his guns. Consumes ammo. [b]Don't Blink[/b] Special Perk: Instead of a boost, this sparrow has a blink drive with double the range of a guardians blink [b]Easy Access[/b] Special Perk: Lets you access your vault directly through your sparrow Still got a ton of ideas but i'm getting kind of tired of typing on my smartphone. Comments? Feedback? Other ideas? Edit: Bump btw, great ideas 😃

You can already run enemies over. Having a perk on your sparrow to do it seems worthless. I'd rather tumble.

Edited by NewDestinies: 3/25/2015 1:42:37 AM[b]AMAZING IDEA!!![/b]

I always believed that each of the city factions also need their own sparrows with unique motif to them, so for example Dead Orbit one should have some sort of weird experimental ship engine or FWC one should feature heavier armor. The city factions also need their own jumpships, I mean i know the ships are just fancy loading screens but some people might want their loading screens to have some faction flavor.

No one cares

The mythology behind the Gunnar atgier, awesome. Mythology is the way I came up with my gamertag so this one would be my favorite. If I could fly thru the air and throw grenades I would be on my sparrow all the time. Both ideas r really cool. Nice creativity man. Keep them coming.
-
Springboarding your Ahamkara idea, you could press right trigger to flap some wings on your sparrow that could give you some gliding distance once you hit air. Maybe be able to rain some nades on enemies below.

Is the spear call Gunginir?
-
i wish i at least had a rare sparrow im lvl 30 with uncommon sparrow com on bungie
-
How about a Mongoose?
-
Bump them both! I'd love for their to be more diversity for players in every aspect and having a sparrow unique to you would be incredible.
-
Aegis A sparrow that when you boost let's you take no damage what so ever and also let's you shoot off of it with another person in the back
-
A sparrow that works like a mongoose, there's; a driver, and a gunner that wields their heavy weapon, which does have ammo that regens, but incredibly slowly, so it's not game breaking. Or just make it like the Warthog and put a turret on the back.
-
Ya this would be cool! I could se a bounty for this. :)
-
Frickin sparrow races!
-
I wish Bungie wasn't so focused and ruining our guns and could focus on incorporating ideas like this. You sir, are a true artist.
-
How about one that is harder to flip and has a skid plate on the front so it'll just skip over small obstacles.
-
Great ideas, the niche roles those sparrows could play, along with the nifty research to tie in the Norse and Destiny lore, make them seem like ideal candidates for introduction. Someone get this man a job with Bungie!
-
It be cool to have a sparrow that shoots like the halo ghost. Maybe have limited ammo to keep the balance. Or have the sparrow have like a "super" that launch's a few nades. It be pointless tho on most PvP but even on pve most battles are in a confined space where u can't spawn a sparrow
-
pack mule. slowly regens ammo for all three weapons while riding (primary at 10% every 5 seconds. special at 7% and heavy at 5%). will also reload weapons to full clip with existing ammo as soon as ridden.

what they need to add is a variety for transportation rather you use your sparrow or something else like the interceptor or the pike have vanguard versions of each of the vehicles in the game now and make more for each dlc they put out.
