Hard to destroy Gens and such

[Duffman]

How hard will it to destroy generators and inventory stations. Will it be like Tribes 1 where it was very fast to destroy them adn jsut a bit longer to repair them or like in Tribes 2(i only played at the very start if T2 so they may have changed this) where it took a good amount of time to destroy generators. Also will the lights go out when the power is lost like in T2.

It's going to take longer than in T2.

Armor piercing will probably wreck base equipment faster then normal rounds, and grenades will do damage too. Rocklets will probably work well too.

Actually the thing the engineer uses to plant turrets and mines is also a c4 remote bomb. So if you got like 4 of them on the generators and blew them all youd probably kill it.

You know how in the screenshots it shows that when you use or look at items for the first time, you see captions explaining their function and purpose? I just read on one of those new PSS screens that the generator auto repairs with nanites or something like that. So the Generators, when destroyed, will slowly auto repair.

Generators are pretty difficult to destroy, it's highly unlikely either of those games are a good comparison. I believe it has been described as "you can destroy them but it is very difficult" (paraphrasing of course).

I think the belief is, strategically it doesn't make sense to destroy a generator since you could basically capture the base as easy. You don't want to destroy the thing only to have it captured by your team soon after.

Agreed, gens should rarely be a target in this game. The inventory stations are good targets if the battle is big enough (and victory is not necessarily short-term) -- it will deprive them of battle-readiness.

Boomers aren't C4 charges, they are closer to claymores. So while they will probably do more damage then a clip from most of the rifles save the shotguns, a plasma grenade would be more effective.
