I prefer to remain optimistic that someday well get reliable ground based anti-air a deployable version of the skyguard that unfolds into a SAM site with long range intercept plot radar.

All the Reaver and Mossie pilots would cry NERF

I like the idea though, it'd be cool to see in effect.

It's a good start for content. It'll be interesting to see how they make or break the gameplay.

the main question for me is how big will they be ?

bigger then a base gate or smaller

It says 20 feet and the pics show them to be a litte around 2-2.5 times the height of a max. At least the TR one is. VS is taller, it shows one with a soldier next to it and he only goes up to its (knee?) I cant really see these walking around the courtyard easily, probably have to use jumpjets to get around the low catwalks. Even sunderer can hit the low parts of these bridges.

Maybe these parts of bases are being redesigned, or a whole new base to accomodate getting one, like dropship center was made for the galaxy and lodestar.Anyone have an idea on possible release date?

YES!!! Mecha!!!

Go go Macross!�

I absolutely love the VS mecha!! Thank you! thank you Dev's!
(I will have your babies if they are as good as it looks

)

unlike Lartnev, i have a completely opposite opinion, i think the NC and TR mecha are too "battletechy" ugly brutes. urgh.
Though the TR is alittle bit better with the missile pods, NC is horrible.
VS mecha is the best

I want one!
Now if only it can transform into a Fighter.....

The NC one is too box like on second thoughts, but the TR one looks awesome (hey, I like battletech)
