Nah. I'm not sure that any VS are Scientology personnel.
If they are, I apologize for drawing attention to you and offending you.
And we're not really trying to become weird things with tentacles for legs.
However, If that is the path to true enlightenment, progress and the breaking of the mold, we shall all do it!
...
Half us us shall do it!
...
A small number of us may do it! For SCIENCE!

I do admit big heavily armored vehicles and troops that have big boomsticks have their appeal too. Plus that kick ass NC logo. But PEW PEW PEW WUB WUB FLOAT IMPOSSIBLE TURN have big appeal. Plus a unique aesthetic compared to the other two.

Vanu vehicles are beautiful, like an artwork. An artwork of war.
That means that the VS are the masters of the art of war.

Love the play on words there. There was actually a guy writing his posts as poems. I believe he was VS.

Well then.
By the commentators estimate, about 99% of first time pilots crashed in the E3 footage. The closest thing to compare it to is a UFO. It's the only vehicle in the game that can move forward, stop and reverse in 2 seconds flat, as well as turning on a dime. You change altitude and direction like you breath. For most pilots, it's too fast, kinda like having a mouse sensitivity on it's highest setting.

Perfect for dogfighting... I have a feeling that most mosquito pilots won't understand turning radius and get blown out of the sky in seconds during a dogfight.

Only problem is, it's maneuverability cost it a bit of armor.
Some of it's armor.
Nearly all armor...In favor of turning on a dime and super rockets.

You don't need armor when the other guy can't turn on a dime. The scythe is really more of an air superiority air frame than a ground support air frame. Proper usage of flares, evasive maneuvers and not entering hot zones at low altitude should allow scythes to prevail. Just focus on downing their air and let the liberators work on the ground. Enemy air chasing libs? Well, then you're on their tail and they have tailgunner firing at them...which may potentially still hit you but you still get the jump, and generally the kill.

Re: Still on the fence...


Don't dismiss TR so easily. Human Beings forged world peace originally under the TR banner. Terran Republic is the reason that all three factions made it to Auraxis. Terran Republic are not specifically opposed to freedom or progress, and there is no guarantee NC or VS will bring the human race toward either of these.

If us Auraxians return to earth as the New Conglomerate we risk turning the clock of human evolution back to the age of corporate dictatorship. After they garner power for themselves the corporations would turn on each other and the movement would splinter, eventually returning humanity back to feudal times. NC are not patriots. They worship the corporations.

The Vanu Sovereignty asks us to have a blind faith in an alien race we have never contacted and barely understand. I am not sure even the VS soldiers know for ceirtain what they are fighting for. Both of these factions appear to have a pioneering logic, but they just repeat the mistakes our species made on Earth many years ago.

Help us restore Auraxian humanity to what it was on Earth. Our strength is in our unity. Ours is the only tried and tested method for peace and progress. Do not loose yourself to the rebel, or the heretic. Remember who you are, and where you came from.

The NC already exists in true Terran space. Their faction only rebelled on the planet.

The Auraxian TR is not the Terran TR.

FOR TERRA! TECHNOLOGY IS MIGHT!
