News: PlanetSide 2 Comm-Link Art

At this point I'm positive that what the Reaver is now the NC fighter.
It looks like there will be no gunships as a separate vehicle class, and a fighter with appropriate customizations will act as a gunship. And the TR Mosquito sure as hell looks the part!

I have to know what that NC vehicle is... My guess would be the Liberator (if bombers are empire-specific, then the name fits the NC like a glove), however the bomber was supposed to be a 2-seater, and this looks like it has 2 seats plus a rear turret with a canopy of its own. Might be an old concept render, though.
I can't say that I dig its design (the front reminds me of the Caldari Osprey from EVE) - it's much too verical and the canopies are too far apart for my taste (and for my militaristic side), however I won't be playing as the NC.

the VS veh is probably a tank, it has a pretty good sized gun in the nose

and i'm not sure the NC veh isn't a gal,notice the wheels,we noticed that months ago in another pic.

and we have heard Higby talking about reavers

bout time they showed me my ride. Can't friggin wait.

Guys, seriously, its painfully obvious what those vehicles are

TR one Mossy
NC one Lib (you even have the tail gun)
VS one Mag

But now read the article actually, and you see that the Mossy fits the TR art style not just in color, but also in shape. Same goes with the NC Lib.

The big questions is: Why is that? Both Mossy and Liberator are used to be Common pool. This now doenst seem to be the case anymore. At least thats what the entire article suggests.

But it seems like they are still common pool. T-Ray just tweeted back that the Liberator is common pool, i assume the same for the Mossy

Means the only empire specific vehicle we have seen so far is the Mag (im pretty sure the Vanguard screeny is somewhat outdated these days)

It's funny how after 8 years you get used to something, and so this quote totally took awhile to sink in. I loved the Reaver...I played as NC....where some see coincidence, I see fate.

Now of course, I can't wait to see the VS fighter.

Oh yeah. For all these years the Reaver has been sinonymous with ground-attack. And the new version looked so awesome

T-Ray can you vouch for the Dyson, that it's even more awesome looking?

Also, fingers crossed for aerial BEAM SPAM

I think the marketing team has found their new catch phrase for Planetside 2.

Will customization options come in the form of hose attachments?

Also, how does it handle pet hair?
