What was your favorite aspect of what you saw or played?
The vastness of it all was the most amazing aspect.

What role was the most fun for you?
I always love piloting in games, I found it the funnest. But driving is also fun no matter what the vehicle was.

What does the cockpit of the reaver/mosquito/galaxy look like?
In the build I played, you did not see it. Only the rotary chaingun was visible on the Mosquito from internal view.

Describe the MAX suit which everyone has been wondering about.
Tomorrows dev interview will clear up most of it. Ill answer after that

And finally: HOW THE HELL DID YOU PLAY EARLY?!
afex answered.

Any info on what defense will be like?
there were mines, turrets, sensors.. but no sandbags. There are also remote detonation bombs available. More info on this soon hehe.

What can you tell us about the Cert system? Is there a heirarchy or some kind of prerequisite system? How many certs did you see? Did you get to look at the advancement process?
This should be covered in the dev interview.

Was there a HUD? (galaxy)
what kind of hud do you mean.. there was some flight info

Can you go back and forth between pilot and 3rd person view?
yes

Can you still see the HUD in 3rd person?
didnt notice, I dont belive so

Did you try a gunner spots?
no

Is it really slow as well as lumbering on turns?
its cumbersome to fly yes, as any large transport should be

Does it fly similarly to the Havoc from t2?
I dont want to compare to that thing hehe

How steeply can it climb during forward flight?
didnt try

Can people really jump out in midflight without damage?
I did not try. I forgot

What about vehicles and MAXes in the bay?
What about them?


I'm interested in the grass cover and shrubbery (herring anyone)?
It is amazing looking

Did it extend to a realistic range or appear out of nowhere ala Asherons Call 2?
it was a realistic range.. nothing "appeared" right in front of me that I noticed.

So did you get to see the mobile command vehicle?
yes its cool

What can you tell us about warpgates (if you even got to use them)
they are huge hehe

Did you use a max, and would you say they are balanced?
I used one for a short time they are very combersome to operate but I can already see some people who will be l33t in them hehe, and yes they are balanced.

How was indoor combat?
Well I only got into a couple firefights inside, I dont want to go into detail because I dont think I experienced it enough.

Damn im very interrested in super specific details about the FM?
If i was to compare it would be to T2, but its not too similar. I dont want to answer this too much other than saying it was fun hehe

yeah what was the speed comparison to the mosquito/reaver? like shrike compared to bomber in T2?
I suppose.. more agile than the t2 bomber i would say

2/3s seems like a lot. Oh well, guess i'll just have to wait and trust the Dev team
Ive heard allot of concern about this, but we were givin full battle rank and I still had to ask "hey do you have this cert.. there is vehicle x over here that we should steal" so its not that big of a deal in my experience. I still think that focusing on specific things is the best way to go. Some certs require others or u cannot have them
