Well i hope it will be okay. I mean its true. Why can't the Dev be a little bit more imaginitive? I mean the VS could of had a hover troop carrier, with a new energy weapon.
TR could of had a Amphibious Tracked vehicle with Larger Chain-gun like weaponary. TR could of had a eight wheel troop carrier with a large rail-gun like weapon. It's different and it would of made it much more enjoyable, as it give the player of a certain pride in the specialities of their Empires. I just don't understand. And the talk of the "flux" like weaponary IS distressing. I only use a Thresher for transportation. No one ever use it to attack the enemy. The weapon there is just to give the thresher some breathing space to get away. Even the magrider isn't really seen around much. All opposition say its a great weapon. I think so too, great against reavers. But if it's so good, how come you don't see so many of them around? how come we don't see them in the great numbers as we see Vanu maxes field? or like the Vanguard? I think there are some fundamental flaws in the Vanu Empire balance. [/rant] Wow. i feel better

This is really enticing me to be a empire driver once shared vehicle XP and chat channel is released, along with those improvements that let you see where cogunners are looking. I'll just pop a Battle Wagon (Should be called the Predator, imo, sticks with the Prowler/Marauder theme), let non squad/outfit guys gun, and just be a wheelman.
I'm worried that the Battle Wagon is gonna get hit with Prower syndrome, where you can't get enough (competent) gunners to gun when you need them. The Thunderer sounds awesome, I hope the heavy gauss cannons are like that gun on the back of the E3 Halo 2 trailer, linear fire, damage per hit between "moderate" and "good", with not so much splash damage, but a knockback radius if it hits a person or lands lear them. The Aurora will be nice, as commented, if they get the physics right and it's like a ripple-fire fuel rod gun. Don't know about the Fury yet. I wonder if the rocket is gonna have an arc or not.

anyway, back to the real subject... someone mentioned maybe sony can make it hover. i think that would be awsome. just making it hover alone and keeping the original weapons on there would be great-but, of course, if you make it hover, it just won't be complete without some type of official vanu weapon.

I don't know, but I still think this is a secret plot to soak up as many TR troops as possible. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. Why not just give us a del with two 30mm guns? Would be just as effective and wouldn't require half a friggin squad to field it effectively.
I will be interested in seeing 1 v 1 fights between all the empire wagons. I bet the VS and NC will be just as effective in battle as TR with 2 less people.

The following post contains rampant speculation, though not bitching about the weaponary of the Aurora. If you're firmly of the belief that we shouldn't talk about it until it's on play test then I'd advise you not to read.
It sounds to me like the TR have got themselves a super Transport that can defend itself better than the Deli can and will be usefull as a limited Anti Air asset. Only Armour will really pose a threat to the squad inside, as infantry and aircraft get turned to mush by it's multiple guns. NC have got themselves something more middle of the road, not as defensive perhaps as the BattleWagon, but packs a punch and is able get a half squad about safely. It's a bit less transporty and a bit more tanky (Yes those are real words!). Might even be able to pose a threat to tanks, and will have the Magriders accuracy for aircraft and sniper-like AV'ers. The VS have got themselves a mobile medium artillary piece - possibly not that great as a transport because it's likely to be vunerable to air attacks, but useful in a number of situations - probably leathal to close packed infantry such as those at a tower or AMS, and with indirect fire may be able to strike at armour and move before being caught. This gives the empire as a whole more flexibility.
Like I said, it's all speculation anyway - but it's better than work! |

chill. Anyways, I dont see what's wrong with the Aurora. Even if it is a lobbed flux cannon, it now has two of them. That equals twice the firepower, right? And besides the flail, the VS have no artillery piece (I think...), until the Aurora. It could be very useful.

Anyway, I'm waiting to see this on the test server, but so far, this idea for the TR wagon is looking real thin. It is looking like the prowler all over again, more people required to effectively field it, thus less of them on the road. At least we will still have the original del to fall back on and it will give us a new toy to play with for a while.
