Flight Rising Discussion

Phantom/Spirit/Weathered for moderns so Python and Fern aren't the only easily accessible genes. I know the devs would rather encourage gem purchases over "freebies" but if someone's desperate enough to use Fern they were never going to buy a gem gene anyway, so at least give us one nice looking (if boring) all rounder. I've never seen Phantom ruin a colour like Fern does.
The ancient coli genes should at least be available for more than one ancient like Sailfish is.

More ancients getting Shardflank! Gaolers are the only one with it but man I think so many other breeds could look cool

on my hands and knees for a modern port of varnish and lacquer T_T pleaseeee

Phantom/spirit and shell/web are genes that I check *every* time I scry their respective breeds and I want them expanded so badlyyyyyyy

Terracotta, its just so weird i wanna see it on other breeds! Trimmings too, i like never see any dragons with either of them!

I want octopus/rings on everlux, dusthides, or moderns. Also for dusthides, either sandsurges’ “beard” or the gaolers’ “wintercoat.” I second the request for banescales’ ragged/tear be on more breeds. Like maybe the sandsurge, abbies, or even moderns.

Also, glimmer and eclipse for aethers. They are space dragons! They need more sparkle stuff~

Primary/secondary genes unique to ancients (bolded unique to that breed):

aberrations: diamond/spade
aethers: candy/icing, checkers/chess, spool/thread, twinkle/flicker, varnish/lacquer, wrought/spire
auraboa: caterpillar/larvae, mochlus/riopa, rattlesnake/diamondback, varnish/lacquer, wicker/woven
banescale: candycane/sugarplum, chevron/arrow, marble/mottle, ragged/tear
dusthide: arc/loop, checkers/chess, display/parade, sailfish/marlin, strike/coil, varnish/lacquer, wrought/spire
everlux: arapaima/arowana, caterpillar/larvae, circulaworm/silkspot, marble/mottle, papillon/swallowtail, sphinxmoth/hawkmoth, strike/coil, throne/crown, varnish/lacquer
gaoler: checkers/chess, phantom/spirit, shaggy/streak, varnish/lacquer
sandsurge: arapaima/arowana, rattlesnake/diamondback, sailfish/marlin, wrought/spire
undertide: checkers/chess, octopus/rings, varnish/lacquer, wolf/pack, wrought/spire
veilspun: arc/loop, bright/vivid, caterpillar/larvae, shell/web, sphinxmoth/hawkmoth, wrought/spire

Ancient gene pairs that are on multiple breeds:

checkers/chess: 4
varnish/lacquer: 6
wrought/spire: 5
caterpillar/larvae: 3
rattlesnake/diamondback: 2
marble/mottle: 2
arc/loop: 2
sailfish/marlin: 2
strike/coil: 2
arapaima/arowana: 2
sphinxmoth/hawkmoth: 2

Unique gene pairs per breed:

aberration: 1
aether: 3
auraboa: 2
banescale: 3
dusthide: 1
everlux: 3
gaoler: 2
sandsurge: 0
undertide: 2
veilspun: 2

I like that some genes stay ancients-only. That said: sandsurges having no unique primary/secondary genes. For a gem breed, this is disappointing.

Based on this, I would not be surprised if we got varnish/lacquer, wrought/spire and checkers/chess for moderns at some point, and I have a feeling aberrations will be the next ones to get a gene expansion, since they only have ONE primary/secondary pair unique to ancients!

THAT SAID, genes I'd like to see ported to moderns would be spool/thread, chevron/arrow and throne/crown.

I will continue sobbing on the floor until Pinions gets ported onto Auraboras. My feathery snakes, they need feathery ears. Let me be clear, I'd love feathery ears on every breed - but I'm dying they have like every other feathery gene except pinionssss Like please I threw this together in a few minutes with the skin templates, look at what could be, I need this [i][b]desperately[/b][/i] I'm begging [img]https://i.imgur.com/z9miV1P.png[/img]

Kumo, just give it to everybody. I want an army of Kumo. I wamt Kumo on my Tundras. Please.

I'm here to second wicker and woven
Could be neat on Everlux in particular
Also would love it on Veils if it affected their mane
