How will vehicles spawn?

Does it just happen to keep it all balanced or do players have any control on what spawns and how often?

they will spawn from terminals like PS2 when you select and customise the vehicle you want.

Alright, good to know.

[Zhane]

Just want to say thank you for assembling all this info in one place. I'm an old PS1 player who's just getting into the PS2 hype and finding everything collected here is quite nice.

Kudos to you!

So, I'm wondering how exactly the heal/repair thing is going to work in this game. Will medical applicators be restricted solely to medic type classes, or will it more simply be the ability to resuscitate that is restricted to medic classes?

And will the ability to repair be limited to engi type classes, or just glueguns or CE?

The ability to self-heal and self-repair I enjoyed a lot in PS1. It made me feel like I wasn't completely helpless on my own. I understand that this is a game that highly encourages teamwork, but I don't like the idea of being essentially doomed when alone.

Higby said medapps only for medics, and hinted that other classes can heal themselves with medkits.

Engineers probably the only clas that can repair, but soldiers only have health and regenerating shields, so you don't need repairs as a soldier.

And yes, I agree.

Is there any info on how shields are going to function? I.E. absorbtion similar to armor in PS1 or somthing weapons need to eat through before health? Recharge rates and what not.

[Atheosim]

Maybe there will be an implant for health regen. We can only hope that they will allow soloers to have some freedom and not be bound to the heel of a medic.

[Bags]

He made it sound like borderlands; you can tweak regen rate, total armor, etc. I think it takes some time out of combat to start, that might be another thing you can tweak. Don't quote me though.

"• No more free-form inventories"

aw man, is this true? I'll just have to wait and see. The inventory system in PS was one of my favorite aspects about the game, it felt so customizable, to suit the inventory you wanted

But I guess it makes sense with the no backpacks this time around? I dunno. I have mixed feelings about it I guess.

[Tehroth]

Does anyone know what will be included in the "sandbox features" that are due after launch?

[Hamma]

Hasn't been much mention of that, solid anyway.
