That would be better, only real vets could do it then. Maybe take control from someone already piloting, if it's going to take that many cert points.

It would greatly please me to see a "hit the floor" button. You know, like crouck except on your belly. Likewise with crouch there should be a accuracy bonus to go along with it. This would be great for snipers and cloakers and really add to the realistic aspect of the game.
Also I would like to see an upgrade on the boomers so that you can place them on the walls and where there is a change in the ground (for instance as it is now you can't place boomers within about two feet from where the ground goes from cement to dirt).

You mean prone? That would overpower snipers, infiltartors, and AVs a bit. This game is about balance.

I'd like to see a hovercraft type transport.

Rather fast, can go over water or land. Very very lightly armored. It could carry some light and medium vehicles (harasser, AMS, lightning).

It could help unjam bridge battles and allow more "stealthy" operations by a smaller squad (IMO right now one squad doesn't make a difference in the game).

I know people will say it shouldn't carry and AMS like the Lodestar shouldn't (I of course disagree). However, it would be fast, but would be easily destroyed. If it could carry a slightly larger vehicle like an AMS it would have to be larger and thus easier to spot. An easy vehicle to kill by a mosquito if spotted, but deadly if unseen.

A couple of slots for troops, and one MAX slot as well.

No defensive manable turrets (the easy to kill idea rolling here) requiring an escort.

What I forsee is smaller assault launch via a hovercraft and loaded Deliverer via water to add another dimension to the gameplay.

NeoTassadar · 2003-06-09, 03:07 PM

MAX modifiers. Semi-custom weapons loads for them.

Yogi · 2003-06-09, 03:32 PM

I forgot the most important feature:
Horns on ground vehicles.

ok...
i have played Tribes 2 b4 and have been in numerous clans. A well experienced warrior in this game.

Tribes 2 is alot like PS. Many of the things that are in T2 are in PS. Mainly cuz it is the same producer, Dave Georgeson. Many things have been left out. For example, a small fighter could be useful, similar to the shrike, it could give support to reavers and other ground attack aircraft. The facilities could be better, like have sewage pipes, or secret entrances to bases.
Some other things could be useful too, like chemical, or biological weapons, demo charges, traps. Traps in T2 were very useful. Especially when there are indoor firefights. A squad comes in, once they step throught the door, it blows, or if the door is hacked it blows, or lock the doors down by taking the power out of them. The squad must then use demo charges to blow the door. Chaff would be very nice. Hacking should be refined, so u can get into the enemy's comms and battleplan. There should be an aircraft similar to the AC 130 in bf1942 DC mod. A ship that has some passengers, and a bunch of people gunning from the turrets. It would be nice to have some convoy battles. Have a bunch of tanks and buggies giving support to APCs and mobile bases. Also there should be deployable turrets. AND THE VANU REALLY NEED BETTER AND MORE POWERFUL WEAPONS.

Ummm. Have you even played PlanetSide? All of the stuff you mentioned is already in the game.

I wish they had some explosives you could attach to tanks. There have been many times ive been able to just walk up to a tank from behind and they never knew.

NeoTassadar · 2003-06-10, 12:35 AM

Or potatoes you can shove in the exhaust pipes.

Placing a boomer right by them works almost as well try it.

Onizuka · 2003-06-10, 01:35 PM

Dammit, why cant this game be in space as well. They need an expansion.

I meant for those that arent advanced engineers.

Just thought of this, and it would be a piece of cake to implement. Make a fake backpack that you can carry around that is 3x3 in your inventory (same as a box of ammo). If you are a sniper or infil who needs to get people off your trail, you dump it out in the open and continue your escape. Hopefully they assume that somebody took you out and they stop the pursuit. Also, there's the chance they will try to loot your backpack (which will obviously be empty) which will give you the chance to get in a few shots while they're stuck on the inventory screen. The backpack would only have to last a minute or so on the ground, long enough to do it's duty.

Empire only special assualt weapons would rock. With the general strengths of the empires in mind of course. I'm half way drunk right now, so I can't think of anything, and anything I do think up is lewd
