Re: Mosquito Cockpit View (Higby Twitter)


Well I do have one little nit-pick, its doesn't necessarily look like the cockpit of an airplane, It looks kinda like the dashboard from a sports car or something.

It looks too pretty and not functional enough, maybe make the specific altitude and speed readouts multi function displays that show some other stuff like weapon status or maybe radar and then make the big red block in the middle a primary flight display with speed, altitude and attitude indicator. Then throw some extra buttons and switches in there and your good to go.

Basically make it look like an engineer designed it and not someone who was actually good at designing interiors.

As someone mentioned in the thread, can SOE confirm if passengers will be able to have a first person view inside the vehicles, (galaxy for example) seeing their squadmates?

Sounds about right.

So the graphics are better than Battlefield yet there are 100x more players on the map?

The math just doesn't add up!

Nice work, i really like it. Can't wait to see VS alien looking cockpit =D.

But who knows, i still want those animations. Gameplay already allows you to enter a vehicle spot when you are close to it (almost similar to PS). So its really just those animations.


You know what to do guys. Get me them!
By now, I guess all members of the dev team already know this and the fact that we want the animation back. We will see, though. Maybe when they starts to upgrade the capabilities of Forgelight yet again...

As far as I know there's not going to be Destruction. That's a big deal...

Yeah sounds neat. =)

But PS2 at least has to have some futuristic feel to it, am I right?


And to Stardouser, you sound like PS2 won't have any sort of destruction at all... both at launch and post-launch plan. Just sayin'

Destruction really wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Sure, it was cool to level a building with a rocket... but in the end, where did all of the cover go? The battlefield was a flat wasteland. I don't really want it in PS2.

You're exactly right. And, what's more, instead of going into a building to clear out enemies, all you do is spam AT rockets at the building until you find them. Bigger player counts are more important than destruction.

Looks stupid good... look at those clouds... this game just looks ridiculously amazing, so pumped.

Can't wait to see the rest of the cockpits and vehicles now.

After playing the Starhawk beta, i have to agree.

The best tactic in the game was to place an inconspicuous bunker near the enemy base, and spam rockets at their buildings. Eventually you just kill their whole base if they don't deal with you.

Now imagine planetside, and 100+ players shooting rockets at a building. Either buildings would never die, or they would die instantly.

I'm not against destructible buildings and structures, but you would have to design gameplay around that feature. It's not something you add to the game very easily.

I do think Generators/Doors and other important objectives could be added to the game though.

Plus destruction lost it's coolness after a few rounds for me, tbh.

It should be translucent. If soldier-portable tech exists to make people semi-invisible, it should be light enough to fit into an aircraft to improve visibility for the pilot.

Then it would also be light enough to fit on a MAX, a heavy assault, sunderer, galaxy, tanks, mines, etc....
