Lower lvl saddle for the Pelagornis
The Pelegornis seems like a great low level flier but by the time you can get the saddle you really don't need it.

If they lowered the level you could get it at to 35-30 i think that would make it a worth while tame.

Are there any saddles you guys think are too high a level for their dinosaur?

I don't really get why the turtle saddle is so high, when it doesn't really give you much of an advantage at any level. It's not a powerful attacker, not fast...it's only real use is a tank to take damage for you while you use ranged to take things down, and with a saddle to aid it's defence it would actually give the thing a use if it were lower level. But by the time you get the saddle for it you already have a trike, which is more tanky and does better damage to boot, making the turtle useful for little more than kibble farms.

Ankylo saddle - Yes I know the anky is OP as a gatherer in general, but if it were balanced more against the doed it'd be much more reasonable. Reduce the anky's abillity to gather stone, so it specialises in metal and obsidian while the doed has less oposition in stone harvesting. Also an inventory weight buff for the two, anky for metal/obsidian and doed for stone, to specialise them more. Then drop the anky's saddle to 30 the same as a doed and they'd complement each other perfectly.

Tapejara. Ok I get that it's an upgrade from the pteranodon because of passenger seats and extra manuverabillity, but not getting one until lvl 50, really?! The argent and quetz are only 5 and 10 levels higher, and there's a huge gap in the flier market before then where only the ptera is available. And really, do the tapejara's perks make it all that more powerful over a ptera that it needs to be so late-game? Tapejara should be lvl 40, definitely.

Both the Pelagornis and the Turtle have late game uses. IE you will still use them once you can craft the saddle. And if the Pelagornis gets weapon use while riding with the next patch its going to be much much more useful.

Out of curiosity, mind if I ask what it is? I sure haven't found one myself...in fact my latest single player game is the first time I've ever tamed a turtle at all, played through until late game several times before then without ever having one. And the ones in this game were consigned to my kibble farm the moment I got a trike.
