Only thing is I'm happy with my weapons & armor, sure they are legendary, but I don't care. All I'm wanting is a sparrow that doesn't take 30 seconds to get from earths beginning to the forgotten shore. In Mars its terrible, 1 & half minutes to 2 min to get from one side to the other I believe it was, depending on sparrow.
Vendor sells upgrade drives as legendaries, make upgrade drives to exotic as well is all I'm wanting.
Plasma
Stealth
Emerald
are the three we have. From Xur, move those to a new vendor that stays in the tower.
[spoiler](number) = cost for coins
Exotic Drives = Req. Legendary Equipped Sparrow & two of the same package listed below. It is an exotic after all.
i;e Arc Drive *2 + Equipped Legendary Sparrow = Exotic Sparrow. Than after that, any exotic can be upgraded with more legenary drives to add perks. but only need 1 than. These are permanent.
Sold by New Vendor

Sinister Drive - Front of drive gets a darkness coating for a small duration of time. This allows the sparrow to be weighted down to ram into enemies and cause (x) amount of damage. Light Level determines (x) damage. Duration increases by rarity.
Need More Suggestions
How this would work if you truly wanted a beastly ride.
Common Sparrow, use Trickster = rare sparrow. Trickster Rare Sparrow + Ninja Drive = Legendary Sparrow with tricks, and camo. Legendary Camo Trickster Sparrow + 2x Exotic Drive = Exotic Sparrow with special. Aerial + Battle + Exotic Sparrow = Fully Maxed out Sparrow. These would act like perks but as it costs so much, no need to level it up.
All legendary sparrows would be upgraded by Exotic Drive, than use Extended Drives to upgrade the perks it has. [/spoiler]

Very good idea maybe except the weapon use but maybe add two arc guns, void guns, or solar blasters which don't fire too fast but just enough to make any guardian think twice before charging you. Camouflage idea is flawless stealth to me is incredibly important sometimes it's best to avoid confrontation as it saves time and resources. Another idea of mine is something I call a darkness ram which coats the front of your sparrow similar to a knight wall of darkness and it makes the front invulnerable to damage briefly for like 2 seconds. Boost drives are great too I like your idea especially if it's expensive. The vendor detail I don't like make her xur'so sister or even from the reef if choosing the former refine her background.
