Isilel Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 So, isn't it odd and disappointing that it never occured to anybody in the Northern Scadrial that Skimmers would be ideally suited for various forms of non-powered flight? Not even expeditions to the Roughs and beyond seem to have thought of it, despite all the obvious advantages for scouting, delivering messages over long distances, etc. And now it looks like they'll skip all the way to ettmetal-powered airships instead, thanks to the contact with SoScads... sigh. Though, maybe if weight medallions become more common, but the airships remain rare, somebody would see the opportunity? Or maybe they already did in the South?
Niteshado he/him Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 If im not mistaken, Sazed was a little disappointed that they hadnt found flight yet. He stated he made life in the Basin too easy, and was disappointed in the lack of invention and exploration. Stated they hadnt even figured out the radio yet. So honestly i dont see how skimmers would be used.
Merrickz he/him Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Who knows it may come up as a sport or something in era 3. Low weight hangliding
Wolf Brother Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) What about an iron ferring in a wingsuit? Make yourself lighter can glide indefinitely, make yourself heavier and dive bomb to pick up speed. Could have some awesome applications. Edited May 14, 2018 by Wolf Brother 1
