Actaully buggy is the first one. When he said he forgot move status on all of them he means that the words don't move like "buggy" does as the first choice. There Catalog

I'm really likin' the hoverbike for general exploring. But I also like cruisin' around on my board and pullin' tricks off the landscape. However, I recently spent all my cash on submitting designs, so I haven't been able to afford a hoverboat... yet.  "Reality is the story I read in my mind, written by my senses."

I like my hoverboard the best because it doesn't flip over all over the damn place like my buggies, it's faster than my hoverpack and flutterbug, I can do tricks on it that I can't do on my hoverbike, and my hoverboat is just getting boring. Sin like you mean it!

I like the hoverbike for cruising, but I wish it had a constant turbo (or at least a longer one). I think the hoverboard (especially the freestyle) is the most fun. The buggy is great if you want to cruise around with a bud (why aren't the bikes two-seaters?  ) but they are very frustrating to race (at least for me, they are). The hoverboats are ok, but they cause too much lag and other glitches in the client for me to enjoy. That leaves the hoverpack as the only good form of flying transportation. I like the hoverpack, but it would be more fun if it was easier to control. I don't like the way it continues to drift in one direction while you try to turn.

I gotta say hoverboard! I like zipping around on them, although I don't think they'd be too good for long-distance transporation .. the buggies are okay but I just don't ride too well in them.. it was fun going up and down the mountains in one in Tyr though 
Bikes, haven't been on them for too long, and I really love hoverboats but they're so giant and more fun when you have a group on them.

Although I really like the bikes I would have to say my buggy since it has constant boost. I sure hope they make the bikes with constant boost too.

On noticing that the Jetpack doesn't have a single vote. I'd say they need to up its top speed quite a bit. If at high levels after a bit of thrust you could level out like superman and really make some air-tracks this pack would be a lot of fun. Flying like a jet as the name implies. Right now its more of a "hover"pack than a "jet"pack.

Has anyone on this board been in There long enough to have even used the jetpack before they were phased out? ...just call me Number 2

I thought the hoverpacks were still available? Was there a jetpack version of the hoverpacks at some time?

There used to be a "jetpack" before There went public. It was very fast by all accounts and I have heard it was quite a sight to see someone zoom by overhead on one leaving a trail and travelling at a high rate of speed.
Well it was found that jetpacks were too fast for the servers and there were many problems associated with travelling at such a high rate of speed. They were removed and replaced with the "hoverpacks" that you see in the store.
The use of jetpack in the above poll confused me but I see now that it was supposed to be hoverpack. ...just call me Number 2

I never had the priveledge of seeing or using one of those Rayce. Sounds cool.
My favourite is and has always been the Hoverboard, but I started digging the buggies quite a bit after designing one.
Don't have a boat, but after being treated to ride on Daemona's (cheers), I can see what she means by them getting a bit boring and the lag can be pretty bad, especially with a full load chatting.
The hoverpack is more of a utility for me I guess. And I've only had a breif couple of blasts on a bike.
So my vote's with the Board.

I gotta say hoverboat. I'ts a nice easy cruise and I like flying. I also use a boat as a placeable 5 person couch. I'm a newbie so is it just me or are 2 person loveseats the only form of placeable sitting devices.

I like the hoverpack. A LOT. ok, maybe it's just cause I bought one yesterday and went all around Tyr and Saja on it. But it flies! AND doesn't make my computer lag. AND I can go up into weird places with it, and visit skypads. (or maybe it's just 'cause Peter Pan was always my favorite story) Never Knows Best...

I like the hoverboat cbecause it has greater versatility than the other veihicles, one can manouvre so gracefully yet at the same time less knowledge of flying can cause some of the funnies wipeouts.
I must admit I enjoy flying them when they are full the clean air also ensures caculated conversation.
Its when you stop midway for refresments that the conversation really takes off.
p.s this pilot does not hear anything;)

I like all my vehicles for different reasons. I use the buggys to explore, my bike I use for Questing, I use the board just for plain fun, and my boat if I wanna get somewhere fast without teleporting.

When driving a boat can you see below very well? I want to explore things that only a flying type vehicle will get to, so I understand that leaves me the options of:
Hoverboat ( I like the idea faster speed and company)
Flutterbug Hoverpacks &
Classic Hoverpacks
Which would be best? And, what is the difference between the two Hoverpacks.
Thanks! BOINCer, but you may call me Bo

Hoverbike rules in my book, the hoverboat, is terribly boring, they should add some sorta turbo button on it. History is a joke played by the victors on the vanquished in front of an audience that dares not laugh.

I actually like the buggy best. For some reason, I really dig the "texture"... feeling the landscape, grabbing little patches of air over small hills and bouncing along. It's fun because you adjust to the type of terrain you're driving on. Kinda like why some people like driving stick, they have more control, it makes them think a little, keeps them occupied.
I like tricking on my hoverboard, but not travelling on it. And while the hoverbike is fast, I actually get bored on it. For both the board and bike. It's really hard to flip and get knocked off, you just kinda push and go. Easy yes, but it gets really boring to me. The only place I don't like my buggy is on Tyr because it's too rugged in a lot of places.

I agree! The buggy holds two and really gives you the feeling of being There! I often meet new people, ladies only, and let them drive me around while we chat. Keeps the other guys away! 
Of couse I use cruise control when I drive. Gotta have those hands free! BOINCer, but you may call me Bo
