The big problem is that, in City of Heroes, mobile battles really, REALLY suck. Since you can't attack on the move, ever, this leads to a battle where you run up to something, punch, fall behind and then have to chase it again. Fighting running bosses is probably the WORST piece of content in the entire game by a good margin. Especially if they're fast and/or near the lifts.
You also have to account for differences in movement speed and travel power suppression. I guess if this car drove at the speed cars on the road travel now, it wouldn't be so bad, but... It wouldn't be much of a chase, either. And much faster than that just means a lot of people probably won't be able to catch up.

I like the idea of drive by shoots. I also get the fact of not being able to run and shoot at the same time. How about a compomise? What about like in some gangster movies, where the car drives up and 4 thugs get out and then start shooting?
Or the car could stop the moment someone attacks it. All the mobs would jump out and return fire.

That'll work. As long as combat conforms to the current framework, cooler ways to initiate it are always welcome. Instead of an ambush running in from around the corner, they come in a car and jump out. Not bad |

We'd have to come up with some way to make this happen away from roads, so maybe have enemies come out of a 4x4. I'm not terribly worried about this happening on remote islands because the Bruiser is already capable of riding his Harley to any god-forsaken location, so a bunch of mobsters driving a large Landrover to Primeva doesn't seem out of place.

I've been wanting a drive by shooting event for quite awhile now. It needs to be random like the fire in steel canyon. But put it in a zone that currently doesn't have events.
Id like to see it in brickstown as family don't really spawn high enough on heroes anyway. Have a waypoint indicator on the map for when this event is running and the waypoint needs to update over time as the cars drive. The cars need to move faster than normal citizen cars. So you can't catch up with them by just sprinting.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
As everyone know's that back in the 1930's [the depression & bootleg years] Gangsters aka the mob would drive up to a certain building and jump out and shoot at it and blow it up. I figure that can be put into play for all zones not just highest but from lowest to highest level zones. It would be so cool of an event to be running along and than the PPD alter would go off stating that such and such place in such and such zone is under attack by a drive my shooting, and it would be wizard cause than you can tie a badge or badges to it. Like they do for the random arrson events.
This idea came to me after chasing down Family members on foot and what other mobs, but the idea was.. it be cool to have drive by shootings old mob or gangstar style.. make the game a bit interesting, where the hero/villain has to chase down a bunch of thugs that is shooting up the neighborhood.
