1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

[Siquo]

Come to think of it... Vanu's ideals fit with our "FOR ‼SCIENCE‼" ethic of Space Pirate-style blind application and abuse of any new-found element in our lives.

Yeah, except we don't giggle like 5-yr old girls while doing it.

If they could've made the Vanu use pink, they would have.

Bond villain, 5-year-old girl, what's the difference but lung capacity and some pitch shifting? It's all "Wahaahaaaaa!" anyway.

If the Vanu used pink, I would only play Vanu. Pink is manly, pink is power.

*shrugs* When all you've got is a Liberator, everything looks like a Barney.

That certainly explains a lot of what I've seen.

Only one response to destroying your own team:

Purple is the color of fancy things, like lasers. Pink is just that awkward relative or red.

Flying at high speeds less than 10 meters above the ground through the heart of enemy territory probably isn't very safe, is it?

It is dorfy though, and worst case scenario I crash into an enemy structure or something.

[Frumple]

Me, I'm currently wondering if they'll be something like a "magnetic boot" cert that makes it easier to stand on top of vehicles. I have visions of a small group of snipers camping out on top of a scythe or something, raining death from literally over the horizon. Mobile high ground that can take potshots at things, too.

Group of anti-tank guys surfing around on something highflying and dropping rockets or whatev' would also be awesome.

And I want some sort of weapon that bounces/ricochets. I want my fooking Infantry-style plasma cannon, but will settle for bouncy grenade launchers or somethin'.

Hey everyone (I haven't been here in a while, heh). Figured I'd look and see if there was a thread here about Planetside 2 yet, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this insanely long one here. So I've joined the steam group (as Trafalgar), and posted a comment on it saying my forum name here, and that I already have a beta key registered to my account.

I'm planning to play either Vanu or NC, and voted Vanu because they appeal to me more than the NC. For Science and all that, and the advanced tech, energy weapons, and super-maneuverable vehicles are all really appealing.

That said, apparently in the day 2 E3 stream, someone pulled awesome maneuvers to make a missile lose lock, ending up in a dive with the missile overshooting upward, and... the missile just came back around and whacked him in the ass anyways.

So the NC is starting to sound more appealing with the extra armor and firepower, if the Vanu maneuverability is useless for evading missiles.

(I kind of doubt there will be any way to magnetically lock onto vehicles, or you could stack a dozen MAXes on top of a galaxy and bypass the 2 MAX (IIRC) carry limit per galaxy, unless, of course, they weigh it down so much it can't take off)

bf1942 paratrooper drops, anyone?  Chances are they'll try to limit that

[miauw62]

But what if the MAX's had thrusters that let them fly?

[Girlinhat]

I can imagine vehicles killing any "riders" like that if you move too fast.  Thus, there will be a very delicate skill of "low speed flight" in which it's possible to carry units atop a vehicle by flying slowly enough and not triggering collision.  Makes you a sitting duck, but lets you transport 40 soldiers at a time!

Then we wouldn't need aircraft

If it were possible to carry 40 soldiers, why not fit them INTO the aircraft? o_0
