I'm so excited its almost cruelty to not release the beta right now.

I'd love to see some player models, preferably Vanu.

Chaotic Cow · 2011-02-05, 05:01 PM

I can't wait for actual gameplay video.

I think its a good thing they are 2 man crew now. Reaver always felt like the Heavier air fighter. Sort of like the Tank of the air. So seems like it should be a 2 man crew similar to Tank.

Better air physics is nice though to those saying Battlefield type air that actually brings back bad memories. Since when I played at least aircraft were overpowered in Battlefield. One good pilot could just fly for ages an never die raking up the kills. Fun for him but not for people on the ground that couldn't do jack except maybe waste a spawn on getting an anti-air rocket that wouldn't keep up with him after he hit afterburner anyway.

The graphics on it also looks good to me. Wings look crap but I guess its unfinished.

Just me or can anyone else see a very faint pilot, looks like a cloaker in that pilot's seat.

Anyone got a darklight implant?

Cannot wait for this to get released!

Tank of the skies was always my nickname for the Lib, that front gun did more damage than a lot of people realised!

I wonder if the rocket pods open up when you right click and switch away from guns or if they open when you fire and unload all the missiles at once?

Should we expect some sort of fuelsystem for air vehicles to introduce some sort of tactical logistics element, akin to the ANT and base refueling?

I hope so, bases should require power to build and resupply the troops

There's already a NTU system...

I hope we will see it again in ps: next. It was allready part of ps1 and was removed in late 2003 since the sieging faction had an unfair advantage if they hold the tower.

Its only a light version of the original concept. Only damaged turrets, gens and terminals uses ntu for auto repair.

I am curious to see what this looks like once they have all the weapon mountings complete. I really like the idea of a two person gunship, but I don't think you should be forced to have two people to use it. The pilot seat should have control of some weapons as well as the gunners seat.

This way it's not totally useless if you can't find a solid gunner.

I am very excited about the new flight physics. Flying in PlanetSide as it is now is a bit clunky and could be vastly improved. I am very curious to see what way they go with that. Something like Tribes 2 shrike piloting would be nice - but not to crazy like the Battlefield series where one false move in a helo sends you spiraling ass over tea kettle.

No, spawning and using terminals drains ntu.
