Karavan hover ?!

[micrix]

Hi,

some days ago while regaining focus in fountain i recognized that the karavan hover. Yesterday i traveled some karavan TPs to see if its a bug in fountain or if its a fact. Its seems that no karavan touches Atys soil. They all hover about 5 cm above ground. Its only a little but if you look close you can see it. Especially when sun shines and there is a shadow.

I did not read anything about this here on the forum. Is this fact known ?
Why is this ? Do they pretend to be humanoid inside their suits ? Are they to weak to stand on their feet ? Are they not allowed to touch atysian soil ?

My guess its a graphical glitch. I only know for certain that some of the kami welcomers hover, but then those have wings after all and seem to be ether real (tranclucent)

Why would they make walking animations if they hover? Makes no sense to me.

See the screenshot in the middle here:

I dont think its a glitch. Their followers (Kuilde) are on ground. When they walk they raise dust, a moving karavan does not raise dust...

Micrix is right you know. They are definitely hovering in that pic.

The screenshot is old. Not sure if this place exists ingame, but you can check ingame.
Same there. When the sun is right you can see their shadow below their feet.

I ask myself if they have a antigravitation device on their suit or in their ships. It could even be possible that they are only holographic projections. You know there is no karavan in the darkness of the roots. Maybe they just can not appear in the darkness...

it indeed does not look like a graphical glitch and seems to be intended.

anyway ive never noticed it.

Err... sure there are (check out the Karavan Gate of Obscurity TP!)

Never noticed that about the karavan Psylo, but it makes sense being that the Karavan have some very advanced technology probably a good bit that we haven't seen yet.

I guess they hover. The other one about sunlight and projection is just a theory cause i havent got any TPs there where karavan are present.
