Suggestion: Carbon fibre/rubber boats (not a lava boat!) - Now an addon!

boat breaking is no issue at all, you too bored to craft few boats but crafting and placing 100 solars is fine for you...

IC2 already provide godmode in lategame, why you want to make game ever more easy?

...What? A better boat makes the game easier?

It makes water travel more fun, and less annoying.

This is an amazing idea compared to everything else that's been suggested for the last few days.

RawCode no one wants to make the game harder with out adding something good so yes by default we REALLY want to make the game easier. also to para phrase the video charlie the unicorn "SHUN THE NERFER! SHUUUUUNNNNN!" new boats don't things easier they make things less figg'n annoying

wire connected teleporters were that bad? http://forum.industrial-craft.…ted+teleporters#post51624 the like 2 people who posted there said they liked it and then it dropped off the radar during the whole "hayo rule" fiasco the problem isn't a shortage of good ideas its that everyone only reads the front page and focus's on shutting down bad ideas and repeat suggestions this thread is only a rare exception

Quote from GregoriusT

Maybe because CiderCraft had thought a bit about that before posting? The only good Ideas came from people who thought about them before posting them. And you take my jokes so seriously that you Post them (referring to Nukelazor) and then every good Idea sinks a bit farther into the Suggestionswamp until it finally hits the Archive.

1st. nukelazor is still a joke your the serious one now just ignore it it will archive eventually
2nd. archiving is based on inactivity not what page it is on i'm saying people should practice some more thread necromancy because what is on the first page isn't the only thing to talk about
3rd. WIRE CONNECTED TELEPORTS well thought out and it got screwed over by a rule change and then ignored cause every one was more interested flaming at the time
4th. my point is the social norm should be threads people feel positively about should be given attention like this and bad ideas should be completely ignored and not have everyone stopping/bumping it to say its bad if its bad it sinks beneath the waves and is forgotten but right now most of the time its the reverse everyone(including me) shouts don't a poor thread and ignores the salvageable ones

EDIT: blockradar? who said that?

Was suggested in the past. I had supported it.

In other words, a repeat suggestion, which is why I ignored it.

Searched for 'connected teleport'.

so back to boats how about it looks like one of those swamp boats with the big fan in the back to show its dominance over the lily pads? and why stop with carbon fiber how about an inflatable rubber raft as an in between (breaks on collision but drops a boat instead of pieces)?

Yeah, you could deflate it by punching it, and by placing it instantly inflate it! It would be quite weak I expect, but maybe able to have something special!

Yes. Zodiac as Cousteau calls them.
Five Rubber Trampolines (or just Rubber or combine it) in boat pattern and Wind Mill in recipe.
Shift click open GUI with slot for battery. Right click with battery insert/swap it. Right click by empty hand enter boat. Jump - exit boat.
When powered speed greatly improves. Unpowered moves slower then standard boat.
Can moves on surface/Lilli pad but with braking effect.
Easy breakable, drop itself and battery.

Should it be lavaproof or will be still boat for this task?

I like this idea. As others pointed out, it would give Carbon Fiber new life and more use, and seeing as it's used in some canoes, all the more reason for implementation. The speed boost would definitely be an attractive point, as would the ability to stay in one piece if it hits something a bit too hard.

The ability to stay in one piece if it crashes into anything at any speed would be nice
However the drawback of hitting somthing at a speed faster than the max speed of a normal boat should be around 1 heart of damage (The boat crashed and you got flung forward...)

I like the idea of boats that wouldn't lose a fight with a couple of leaves, so consider this my +1. As for lilypads, maybe a further upgrade to the boat can be made - craft it with one or two pieces of advanced alloy and you stick a blade on the front. If you hit a lilypad with your bladed boat, it either makes the lilypad vanish or drops it as an item.

have the boat BURN THE LILY PADS AS FUEL!
the best part about this thread is every one is so agreeable to adding more boats. (even though alblaka said no to adding vehicles)
