Seaglide -add shiftkey for turbo ?

Aquatarkus

The Powerglide has been broken for quite some time now.
Animation is stuck in a swimming position, and turbo sends you flying downward.
(no directional control using turbos)

Any chance of adding the recent shiftkey sprint feature to the Seaglide code giving it a turbo function. Really enjoyed the high speed feature of the Powerglide. Adding the high speed to the Seaglide would make a good work around.
(maybe 4x on the turbo would be nice)

4x is an awful lot. 2x would be more reasonable. But I think a turbo mode would be great for the seaglide.

The battery life would need to be bumped up, though, since it already chews through power quite fast as it is. I get the feeling it wasn't so bad prior to the latest update (I wasn't around then), but now that players need to go hunting for far-flung fragments in order to build proper vehicles, the slow speed and short range of the seaglide is a poor tool for the task, particularly when you don't have the battery charger yet.

It'd be cool if the seaglide had some kind of turbo that would be maybe 2x the speed. Then thru the Modification station you could turn the Seaglide into the powerglide who would have a base speed higher than the seaglide (maybe 1.5 times faster) and a turbo speed also higher than the seaglide's (like 3x speed)

Are you mad? Turbo mode would make the Seaglide faster than the Seamoth and allow you to catapult you out of a Sea dragon's mouth after already being swallowed. The precursor police already put up a speed limit to give their cannons time to take down any diving enemy.
