Foot zergs are okay because you can put up a decent defence against it.
Tank and Air zergs on the other hand... you're just getting farmed.

[Skyrunner]

Battle Galaxies don't die, especially when surrounded by Liberators and a legion of ESFs and heavy tanks and lightnings.

One of the worst things SOE did was allow vehicles to auto repair.

[Ozyton]

Because SOE are doing spawn experiments on Connery (and Mattherson I think?) that allows anybody on a continent to spawn on any deployed sunderer on the entire continent.

Oh my science. We already have galaxy spawns, what's the point of galaxies if you can just spawn wherever you want whenever you want? Sure you can drop to places that sunderers can't get to, but seriously. Right now if I want to redeploy across the continent I have to either grab an ESF and fly there or do constant redeploys, and while it is annoying, it takes critical time to actually reinforce an area which could mean losing the base if you're not fast enough.

I hope they reconsider this feature, there's already the 'reinforcements needed' thing for PUGs to drop in on if they want their shooty times.

I do agree with the zergling thing, every time I'm in a zerg platoon (I'm looking at you PHX (an NC outfit on Waterson that is so large that is basically absorbs every PUG that joins a squad)) it's just 8 squads that are just sitting outside a spawn room while we lose 2 or 3 other bases we cannot be assed to reinforce... Uhg. The best and most intense fights are the more evenly popped ones.

I almost wonder if the continent pop bonus could also apply to a certain extent to actual regions, so you get more XP if you're the underdog or there's more even pop, or an XP penalty if you're severely outpopping people at a certain base.

People have been asking for more importance placed on logistics since beta. What direction does SOE go?

• Spawn in any squad sundie/gal
• Maybe spawn anywhere!
• Able to spawn tanks anywhere!

I get the feeling that this may have something to do with the coming PS4 release.

[Aseaheru]

spawn tanks anywhere?
That... sounds silly.


I can possibly see spawning flashes from Galaxies and sundies, but thats it for mobile vehicular spawns...

[TolyK]

It's Lightnings from any land vehicle terminal.

[Aklyon]

It's Lightnings from any land vehicle terminal.

Lightnings and flashes and harassers.

[Ozyton]

Was it hard to spawn them from their dedicated terminals before or something?

[TolyK]

Well, they were few and far between, nobody wants to drive for an extra 2 minutes. >.>

[Ozyton]

Okay, so when you're assaulting an enemy base you can hack their terminal and spawn sundies and tanks right in the middle of their base. Hmmmm...

[BurnedToast]

Foot zergs are okay because you can put up a decent defence against it.
Tank and Air zergs on the other hand... you're just getting farmed.

I'm still convinced the absolute worst decision SoE ever made was letting everyone have a tank (actually two, and the resources to spawn them back to back) from day 1, and the second worst decision was letting the driver shoot the main gun from a MBT.

The game would be so much better if tanks were (relatively) rare. I'm not sure how they could enforce it exactly with the current SP system.... but it's just tragic the amount of tank zerging that goes on and it's a big part of the reason I basically don't play anymore.

[Aseaheru]

Lightnings where always at every terminal, right?

[TolyK]

No, only at the only terminals you can get MBT's now.

Also, the tank zerging is why I play aggressive infiltrator most of the time - you just can't beat a huge tank zerg without your own zerg. :/

[DJ]

Strategically placed Mana AV nests can wreck tank zergs. A squad or so is enough. Or if you want to be fancy, that same squad can pull six Dalton Liberators.
