PlanetSide Next Galaxy Model

John Smedley just tweeted another PlanetSide Next Model Screenshot, this time we have the new Galaxy!

We were also able to get a bit more background this time around from John

The Galaxy plays an even more pivotal role in the new game.

John also noted that this is a model and not an in game screenshot. Check The Reject Shop Catalogue and Total Tools Catalogue. The final model will look much better once it's in game.

Discuss on our forums!

Also, I hate to break it to you, but C130s and C5s do not have guns. Stop watching GI Joe.
First of all it would not complicate animations it would add dynamics and realism which is always a good thing even in a sci fi , and second c-130 no guns or other countermeasures wow you have no military experience at all its called a AC-130 gun ship and it is covered in guns and other advanced forms of electronic counter measures. If you want futuristic then give me a v-22/c-130 gunship /cargo plane. Every modern military commander will tell you that is the future just look at the V-44 project it was the cover for a 2000 addition of popular mechanics.

I never said jack or shit about animations. Stick to the fucking topic at hand, Einstein.

Hi. Son I'm gonna let you in on a little fact that just about everyone else here knows. I spent ten years in the US Army and another year as a private contractor. In that time, I rode on C5s, C17s, and C130s. Now, like I said above, I never once mentioned anything about countermeasures. As a matter of fact, the C130 has a set of flares. My strongest memory of this particular fact was flying into Sarajevo when you were probably about eleven years old, and the crew chief made a big show of explaining why he was removing the big red ribbon and cotter pin against the bulkhead at the front of the cargo area where we all sat, explaining that if we were targeted by SAMs that pulling this pin meant the flares were active. So, care to reassess the situation a little, sparky? You just stepped into a big pile of stupid and it's seeping into your Crocs.

The AC130 and the C130 are two separate aircrafts. The "A" in AC130 is what differentiates between a gunship and a C130 cargo aircraft. Normally I wouldn't quibble, but this is what you specifically said:

that looks like a c-130 or c-5 cargo. Being it is a cargo air craft
So, at first I was tempted to intuit that you actually meant the AC-130 but then you went and mouth-breathed, and tacked on the "cargo" and "cargo aircraft". Now since you presumed to lecture me on various military points, let me clue you in a little bit. Just about NO ONE in the military that I've ever met uses the term "C130" or "C130 cargo" to refer to an AC130 gunship. Why? Because as I said before, they are two separate aircraft with two very separate roles. One is unarmed and usually carries CARGO. Or people. Or people and cargo. Usually as in, on occasion it's been used to drop daisy-cutters, etc. The other is very well-armed and carries exactly two things: crew and bullets. It is not a cargo aircraft.

Have a nice day.

Look up the term "science fiction".

Why do some people think that knowing anything about the military has anything to do with a science fiction game.

GAME.

You really missed my point, I was not saying the AC-130 was the same for the A means attack and gives it a different role then the troop transport what I was saying is being this is a video game and there for not restricted by the things reality is and also suppose to be like 1000 years in the future or something, there is no reason it can't look better and out perform a modern aircraft in every way. And the quick comment on animation was for the guys post above you.

Science fiction is often future fact, watch a 1960's episode of star trek and then
understand that is in year 2200s. Look around you we are right on track.

The next time you want to make a point, I suggest making your point succinctly and clearly, and without statements which are erroneous.

1. I'd rather not watch an episode of star trek, ever.

2. We're right on track to screw up the only planet we have thanks to man made climate change. So long for those future dreams unless we start looking after our Gaia.

Oh god you are so misinformed.

If your another climate change denier go look up the scientific evidence of CO2 levels on the internet, look at our rain-forests being chopped down for a cheap buck, and wake up.

Re: PlanetSide Next Galaxy

I put on my robe and wizard hat. I fly my Galaxy through your climates with my invincible cock plus ten. I drop my load... of troops... on your base. We enter your base like a charging rhinoceros. You scream. We cap your base.

It was good.

Fuckin' Planetside. Hell yeah.

Just had another amazing thought...

What if the Galaxy could land on water?
From doing the survey for SOE two years ago, that surveys asks the importance of Water-based combat.
  • Pilot can land on water to pick-up water-based vehicles and infantry.
  • Galaxy could submerge? Why?
  • Reinforces the "greater pivotal role" of the Galaxy.

Two Drivers?

The Reaver clearly has two seats. Look more closely into the cockpit of the Galaxy -- does the Galaxy have two cockpit seats?!

[the Galaxy (unfinished)]

Anyone noticed this yet?!
