Lodestar = teh up!

OOOOH pretty background......

[HELLFISH_88]

Its Pug Fugky.

After examining the Screenis and all of the data for about an hour I have come to a few conclusions about the loadstar that I am 100% sure are correct.



Ok we cant see behind the loadstar so im assuming that its just a big open space between the sides of it that we can see (look in screenis u cant see anything there). Now the router must strafe into this opening. Im guessing that it can only carry one large vehical and maybe 2 or 3 smaller ones. Thats the only thing im not 100% on. The whole thing lands and the pilot deploys and it becomes a rearm/ repair site. I dont know if it has a floor or the vehicals just float there, I think a floor would look better. Tell me what u think.

Edit: Reminds me of the drop ships in Halo used by the Covenant, jsut no infantry slots.

They could have at least copied the cockpit-part of the Galaxy. Looks like a god damn butt-dog.

Then the second lodestar drops the flail he's got in the cargobay down on the first lodestar, and suddenly you have 2 flails at 400 feet

then you can start shootin'!

And then, after all that hard work and co-ordination, and enemy reaver sweeps by... .

I hope it has more armor then galaxy.

Unless things have changed since beta - vehicles dropped from aircraft which land on invalid points are deconstructed after a sec or 2 (just like parking too close to vehical pad or doors). Invalid points included any wall, catwalk, roof, etc.. (In Beta. I dropped an ant perfectly on the wall and thought to myself "cool I can drive around the wall" and before I could move, I suddenly dismounted the vehicle and watched it deconstruct). So I don't hold much hope that you can drop vehicles in odd places - would create too many problems to deal with. Easier to deconstruct them and drive the point home that this is a no-no, so don't bother trying. Dropping vehicles on the courtyards of bases with shields is entirely possible however.

[I Hate Pants]

So I guess the shield moduel is uselss now!? Damn that really sucks!

[BDMJ]

The shield module will still be useful. The lodestar with likely be hard to obtain, and dropping one tank in the yard at a time is not overwhelming at all.

Remember this thing has no guns - it's a big slow flying target - going to be hard to bring these things into a heavy firefight intact.

I think it's going to have massive amounts of armor keeping with the FPS formula that the uglier something is the more armor is has.

[Marsman]

agreed this beast is going to contain a fair amount of armor. Anything short of the old old beta days like when the galaxy had a gazillion units of armor would still make it go boom with any amount of concentrated fire.
