steerable platforms aka magic carpets?

Saw some source about platforms.
Want platforms where multiple people can jump on and fly together. Also pushable load.
Sauerbraten can do that with elevators, but without steering.
Would allow rescue-missions, just looking around together, teamwork with one steering, one shooting, one jumps out at the wall and fetches something.
And easy to set up, build a mountain, place some guns, add a spawner for carpets.
Should act as playerstart, and eat loaded barrels for fuel :)
How hard would that be to code?

Hmm, that would be neat...

If you know JavaScript well, and understand the basic API used in the engine, then it shouldn't be too hard to script this. Maybe a few days to get all the small details working right.
