Galaxies

[ZionsFire]

I do not like the design of the galaxy right now what do you think of the design? Do you think it should be changed or should it stay? I think it should not be so box shaped i think a better sorta sleeker dessign would be better sorta like the one on Halo ya know the open back carries the warthog underneath somethin like that but not to exact.

If you still have your original game box go look at it. It has a cool battle picture with like all three empires and it has a few planes there. Theres about 3 reavers and a gal on there. The reavers look kinda weird on it but I like the way the gal looks. Its very sleek and has a swept back look. I think that they weren't really going for the actual look on there though because it also has a one person harasser sort of thing with a driver operated gun and the soldier armor just looks wrong. If you still have it check it out though it looks really awesome, its in the bottom right portion of the picture.

[ZionsFire]

they shoould have put that buggy in there too

[Recster]

I don't really care what the thing looks like they just need to put a stomach cam on it and also make it easier to land

[ZionsFire]

yep try to land WARNING! you may take damage if you continue to decend GOD I HATE THAT!:furios:

[Piith]

switch to 3rd person view for landings, it'll help

yeah I get that message everytime I land I just ignor it, seems I never recieve damage . . but once :huh: I landed next to a water, on a hill, and the damn thing slid right into the drink :jawdrop: , once the tail hit the water it will not let you take off :o

Just keep trying to descend. Piith, you are never really touching down. You will stay in hover, try and leave the gal, you can't get out. The only real places to land are out side the smaller bases on the roadways or in the dropship centers, in certain areas. You can hardly land in the forests or on slightly unlevel surfaces. I think it is due to the program not accetping the vertical position. Try hovering down into a base and trying to set it completely down under a walkway. You won't like it. If you try and press the issue against the program, by continuing to try and land, you will make it mad at you. It will flip your gal upside down and shove you all over the place. If inside a base may keep you in there. If outside you may end up on the otherside of the cont. Has happened to me, is the main reason I dropped the gal cert. Just going to transport on the ground now. You don't have to land that way.

I'm fine with it as it is, unless the LodeStar is totally different and vastly cooler looking. One thing I wish they did do was place a cannon under the cockpit that can rotate, much like the aft emplacement or the gun on an Apache. Even if the pilot couldn't use it, it'd be nice for the aft gunner to be able to switch between the two guns... because that large blind spot is easy to take advantage of on the ground when only the pilot is guarding it.

If you know you're on a flat piece of terrain, just try rising up again until the message disappears and then attempt to land again. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but you can usually get that Galaxy to land.

One thing that most people don't know is that infantry and MAXs can still hop into a Gal if it hasn't fully loaded. You can actually pick people up off the walls of bases and towers, or get your troops to mount up even when it won't let you out. One thing you should remember, though, is to not push it when it tells you can't land there. Don't keep descending! Around a base, it might deconstruct your vehicle for attempting to put it in an invalid spot... so only make physical contact with a wall for short periods of time... like 15-20 seconds max. In a warp gate the other day, I kept pushing the descend button for the hell of it and ended up going under the map, taking my health down to about 20%.

[Smaug]

Actually firewolf you can land in interlink facitily courtyards too. Also just because the message shows up doesn't mean you can't land there. Sure sometimes you have to let it just hover very close to the ground but sometimes the game will also just give up and let you land. You can tell because the engines sort of shut down and then try getting out. It works sometimes, just experiment.

[Piith]

you just need a good flat area to land. any where. a slight grade you can sometimes. Sometimes I'll land the GAL on that lil island south on Cyssor ( great place to have a party) ;)
Piith, you are never really touching down. You will stay in hover, try and leave the gal, you can't get out.
yeah I know what your talking about, that is when I'll land it somewhere else near by, and That is when I know I have landed, if I can get out or not. Like Smaug said, It works sometimes, just experiment.

Belly cam would be good, but really I think that the addition is really needed is to change the side guns from the 12mm or 20mm or whatever they are, and change them to 75mm's each, sorta like the sunderer. Then the galaxy could actually give some support instead of just being a fat ass'd target.

[ZionsFire]

i went through a warpgate yesterday and stuck to a warp gate arm upside down and is stuck like a magnet:lol:

[Nixon]

Anybody else remember playing on Johari during the end of Beta where there was one Gal permanently stuck in the warp gate? It was slanted slightly down, entering the stream roughly in the center... Cracked me up all the time because it was there for weeks, and we were hoping the Devs would keep it there somehow as an inside joke...

[Doppler]

If the gal had the sunderers guns whouldnt that make the sunderer kind of pointless?

[jacob1044]

I wish (as a pilot) I had gun control if the gal was empty.

It'd be cool to have a matrixing panel in a gal, re-spawn inside the seats - make the thing a flying fortress.

u can pretty much land the gal anywhere given the skill (and patience) to do so, just don't attempt a hillside landing (especially around water) unless you want to show everyone what a gal looks like when it sinks in water or slides into whatever is at the bottom of the incline...

[GammA]

i think we should get a sky cruiser... basicly a warship as big as teh galaxy that flys and has 1 forward 150mm cannon and 3 100mm cannons on each side, with 2 chainguns for rear cover...

but thats just me.

[ZionsFire]

guys i was pounting out the design of the gal so shut up about the flying fortresses.
