My outfit has an obsession with ensuring The Ascent on Amerish remains Freedom Blue, so I spend a reasonable amount of time there.  Lately as well we've been doing armor columns on Esamir.  Having harassers living up to their name and baiting tanks to come to a line of Vanguards works fairly well.

[TolyK]

No, revolvers are pistols, they also can be equipped by any (non-MAX) class.
If not, then it's a bug, and go report it now.

What I was meaning is that it doesn't carry over to each class, meaning buying one for a medic will not allow you to equip it to your LA...

ALSO!!!

IF your telling me a SIX SHOT (there is larger chambers, but lets stick to classics), CHAMBER LOADED, ROTATION CYLINDER, HANDCANNON is an everyday Pistol. I will smack you. When you reload the Revolvers in game you will note that each shell is technically loaded separately...

Just cause it has the body of what looks to be like any other pistol in the game, DOES NOT MAKE THEM A BASIC PISTOL...
A Pistol is a light arm, magazine loaded Handgun. That is that its feed from below into the grip itself and is slide loaded with a hammer mechanism...

From the Wiki...
Revolvers have a number of firing chambers or "charge holes" in a revolving cylinder; each chamber in the cylinder is loaded with a single cartridge. Semi-automatic pistols have a single fixed firing chamber machined into the rear of the barrel, and a magazine, usually removable, so they can be used to fire more than one round.

I meant that they go into the pistol slot. I know how they work, played in VR a bit, and I know what a revolver is IRL.
And WHAT? They don't unlock for all classes at the same time?
...
Lame.

[Sordid]

Yes they do.

[TolyK]

That's what I thought, too.

i've been having fun with the 4x on my ghost...! (EDIT: that's the vs fast reload sniper rifle. affects bolt-action time too)

[Sonlirain]

So i've been certing into the mossie since the beginning and going for AA duty with it.

Several minutes ago i had a scrap with a fully manned Liberator and had the luck of not getting dalton'd (partially due to my tactic of abusing the racer frame + boosters).

So i got it to the state when it begins to burn but couldn't make another pass in time (racer airframe is not neraly as good as the dogfighting one and i was getting fired at) and they landed and began repairing it.

So i make another minigun pass but it's barely enough to make it burn again.

Another pass and it's back to half health again...

So i go kamikazi on it with boosters on.

20 aintiair damage exp
20 aintiair damage exp
20 aintiair damage exp
20 aintiair damage exp
20 aintiair damage exp
20 aintiair damage exp
Liberator kill 500 exp.

So yeah... totally worth it.
And i'd love to hear their voice chat.

a fully manned Liberator

I haven't seen one of those in a looong time. Come to think of it, I haven't seen a full Galaxy in a long time either. They're a rare sight nowadays, and usually they have just one guy. Why anyone would pull a Gal and then fly it alone, I have no idea.

ESF on cooldown.

[Sordid]

Well yeah, but all that it accomplishes is to put the Gal on cooldown as well when you get shot down, which you will because you're presumably covering a lot of distance (otherwise you'd just take a Flash or a Harasser) while completely defenseless.

I never understand the Solo Gals, but when I get up a Gal I keep two or one gunner on at all times. Circling around the bases my Infantry is capping, dropping low to pick them up and then moving on...
ESFs come and get in the way, my Infantry drops but for 2 gunners that move around the 4 guns while the rest land and set up a beacon/AA defense while I do some crazy arse flying which puts their ESFs into my wings and shit making them blow... Occasionally they do this stupid arse glitch where the Gal goes from Full Health to nothing in one ram which confuses the hell out of me...

[Toaster]

A Scythe tried to ram the Lib I was tailgunning today.  I did ~25% damage with the TG before he impacted, turning the scythe into so much fine paste.  The lib barely noticed.


EDIT- My outfit gal-drops fairly often.  The pilot just rams straight into any enemy air in the way.

[Werdna]

Solo Gavs can be nice for leading an air charge, and exposing all the AA in adjacent sectors.

Actually the best thing for Solo Gals are for stealth insertions oddly enough. Drop as a LA with your C4 bricks, or as a Cloaked SMG infiltrator, and you can usually get a good chunk of kills before respawning and joining the battle proper, as everyone who does look up (AA usually) is too focused on the giant cert pinata.

[da_nang]

I thought the best use for Galaxies was ramming?

[TolyK]

When you're alone, yes.

I once had a kill-streak with the Galaxy (on my test character).
I killed several ESF's and a Lib, when I was almost in the red I landed right next to a sunderer and squished a few folks. Then I got out (as an infiltrator) and pew pew pew.

However, much more effective to have them as droppers.
