Released Skateboat

*Yes, I know we can't have true boats yet, but this is as close as we're gonna get for now.

I don't know why, but I loved playing with the DSC Skateboard that Sam made a long time ago. Being stupid, I decided "Hey, let's drive it into the water!" It sort of skimmed across the surface, kind of floating. Fast-forward to 2AM a few days ago, I decided to make a "boat." Since there is no buoyancy, I figured out that all water did was increase the friction. Using the same concept as the planes and that the skateboard was the perfect shape, I set out on making this. 1 node, 4 beams, 1 collision triangle and 4 thrusters later, I had a somewhat boat.

Presenting: The Skateboat

​

• Floats at speeds above 10 MPH
• Able to turn using F & H and go forward using T

It's interesting.

 

Looks like something someone would dream up while high on some strong stuff.
Still awesome though

Oh so hilarious (ly unfunny)

That may be the most pointless post I have ever seen used to bump a dead thread

 

How about that one?

 

no, because it isn't a bump. :|

 

Why must my dead, pointless vehicles be bumped?

 

Dead vehicles you say?

 

Wait. I just realized something. Why is this in land vehicles? THIS IS NOT A LAND VEHICLE!!! WHY GABESTER, WHYYYYY?!?!
Nevermind. I'm an idiot.
