How to make Sparrows interesting and possibly useful.

I know its not a big deal and im not saying this is a necessity but it would be nice to upgrade sparrows in general. They just feel outdated. [quote]I will highlight in [b]BOLD[/b] below the main suggestions/changes. Just to save you time on reading my reasons and thoughts and cut straight down to it. [/quote] [b][i]So, my suggestion would be to change the emote inputs to different Sparrow functionality uses. [u]Forgive me PC players but i only know the console inputs (Direction Pad - Up, Down, Left, Right). [/u]The changes for these inputs are as follows: - D-Pad, UP: Now gives a bonus to speed, at cost of taking more damage from combatants. Trail now sets the ground on fire, any enemy that dies to it will explode and set other enemies on fire (chain reaction) Uses up BOOST on kill. - D-Pad, DOWN: Now gives an overshield, Regenerates/Repairs sparrow overtime. Right Trigger now fires a tracking rocket with cluster bombs at the first/closest enemy in its range 30m-40m maybe? Uses up BOOST. - D-Pad, LEFT: Now reflects damage from combatants and the overall health of the sparrow will increase. Also refills a portion of 'BOOST' ability whenever the sparrow has taken/reflected damage. - D-Pad, RIGHT: Now turns Sparrow Dodging into a 'Blink' dodge. Also refills a portion of 'BOOST' Ability whenever a dodge-blink is performed. - My idea for the current boost ability we have atm, is that you no longer lose BOOST on initial burst of speed. Boost is now used up by two input buttons that trigger Defensive/Offensive abilities - (UP and DOWN on D-Pad). However the more passive abilities - (LEFT and RIGHT) are aimed towards utility Functionality.[/b][/i] [u][i]You are able to pair two of these Functions together. [/i][/u] I get it, it all sounds unnecessary but Sparrows are boring as they currently are, plus this season has thrown us into more open world/public areas a little more with finding things to collect/quest related findables. A Sparrow gets wasted easily just from a knock on its side (Still more reliable than a Fiat though mind you). Im not a big SRL fan either but im guessing these guys would love the changes, imagine being able to race and then pick up a certain buff during the race and you get to unlock one of either of these buffs/functions (above) for your sparrow. It'll certainly make the event more interesting if it ever came back and it'll be like playing mario kart lol. Anyways guys, sorry for the wall of text and thanks for anyone with the patience to read it, even these unnecessary parts of me yapping on, let me know what you guys think.
