They do..There are two air vehicles and the rest(except for the vanguard which is the NC tank)are common pool ground vehicles. The 2 VS emprie vehicles hover. Go to the vehicle page at PSU.

...There is a VS buggy? If not, then what's with that VS symbol on the hood of the buggy?

when you hack an enemy vehicle or make a common pool vehicle, it changes to match your empire

What I would like to know is what's up with that pic of that of the Vanguard it dosen't look like the others I've seen. So which is the real one? I hope its the last one of these pics it looks the best.

I see what you mean Validuz, first of all that buggy is a harraser, a common pool vehical that's been captured by vanu, it's not a hover vehical. Only the vanu-specific vehicals, the thresher and the magrider can hover, and they hover for everybody.

Check this link out: Vehicals (http://www.pscommand.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=12&page=1)

Hope that helps. :)

They show the Vanguard yes, but, look very closely at the guns, that's what I'm asking about. Some pics have two big guns and the others have one very big gun and two smaller ones. I'm suprised that you didn't notice Afex.

Atrox

2003-01-09, 02:01 AM

Ahh, we (Validuz and I) both gotcha now, didn't know that the common pool vehs worked like that, makes much more sense now.

Atrox

2003-01-09, 02:03 AM

No.. they all show the same vehicle, one main cannon, 2 subs on the left of it, and then 2 pods on the right

CDaws

Atrox, sorry man, you must be blind they don't all look the same.

I believe the newer pics are the ones where the vangaurd has two small guns to the left of the big cannon. This (http://www.planetside-universe.com/image.php?picid=Armada&filetype=jpg) and this (http://www.planetside-universe.com/image.php?picid=grasslands&filetype=jpg) must be older shots of the vangaurd. Either that or tanks can have different weapon configurations, just like max suits. :eek:

CDaws

2003-01-09, 02:12 AM

I hope that they're the older pics. I wouldn't like driving it looking like the TR tank the Prowler without the chain guns. It would be too similar.

Vimp

Dave G already confirmed that the Vanguard with the 2 cannons is what it use to be but has since then been changed to the single cannon with the dual gun beside it.

So same tank but different point in time dureing development. the single cannon is the newer one.

specialop: i've already asked you once to shrink your sig.

if it continues to fuck up the table width i will remove it

CDaws

2003-01-09, 02:15 AM

When was this? I don't remember you asking me to srink my sig Afex? And what are you talking about table width?

if you somehow cant tell, your sig is causing the forum to stretch horizontally.

Afex I have no idea what you talking about the sig stretch that was a pic in the post itself not in the sig.

MAKE IT SMALL.

My sig is no bigger measurment wise than your own. And I have seen other peoples sigs twice the length as mine.

Heh, just make your sig smaller. Afex asked and he knows what he's talking about.

I think the two screenshots were the Vanguard has 2 cannons is old, the newest Vanguard is the one with the big run and to miniguns on the left side.

Hate to turn on you SpecialOpRanger, but you could break those smilies up by putting them on different lines.

Yup, he killed it. I liked that sig too. :(

CDaws

2003-01-09, 02:38 AM

He wouldn't explain what was wrong, so how do I know what he's talking about it being too big. Oh well. Guess I will never know since he didn't explain. And now since he did take it off the other posts have no meaning. :lol:

Sputty

2003-01-09, 02:40 AM

Nice to know the staff does work at least
But your signature was too large horizontally and was making the forum tables(boxes, size, etc.) stretch

afex

2003-01-09, 02:41 AM

how much simpler could i have put it?

your sig was too big.

if you couldn't tell how/why you need to get your eyes/brain checked.

CDaws

2003-01-09, 02:44 AM

Too big how? That's my question. Afex no need to resort to name calling and insulting me. I thought it would at least be above a staff member not do do things like that but, I guess in your case I'm wrong.

afex

2003-01-09, 02:48 AM

i'm not calling you any names or trying to insult you.

i'm am completely honestly BAFFLED how you can not understand how your sig was too big. i dont sugar coat things.

here it is like it was.

no go compare that to the other pages in this thread. cant you tell the difference?

CDaws

2003-01-09, 02:50 AM

If your talking about the res size of a screen I'm running at 1024 x 768 so I see nothing wrong on my end.

afex

2003-01-09, 02:53 AM

sigh.

i am also running at 1024x768.

there IS a difference. it is OBVIOUS.

i can't explain it any simpler than i already have.

CDaws

2003-01-09, 02:56 AM

Then please explain because I don't see a difference I really don't. Or if you can't, get an explaniation for me please.

I thought I knew what afex was saying but since I don't see any difference either I guess I have to side with Special on this one.

At the least you coulda edited it in such a way that it fixed the problem with out deleting it.

afex

2003-01-09, 03:05 AM

am i going absolutely crazy?

how is it possible for anyone not to see how all his sig images were stretching the layout of the site???

i feel like i'm in the fucking twilight zone here.

Vimp

2003-01-09, 03:10 AM

The width of this thread is the same as it was before ya removed the sig. I expected it to change but it didn't. But I didn't see a prob in the first place inless your watching at 640x480 cause as it is I can see the whole thing on my screen easy as pie with an inch to spare on each side and my res is 1152x864. Same way before the deletion of the sig.

afex

2003-01-09, 03:13 AM

the table should never be any wider than the header image at the top.

with his sig, it stretches the page about an inch (1024x768) to each side.

i know i'm not the only one who sees it as suck. carl knew exactly what i was talking about from the getgo.

Thank you for finaly explaining what you were talking about but, I've already fixed it. Next time just don't asume that some one knows what your talking about. I don't know that much about site editing or building, if anything at all. So next time try to be more specific. That was what I was getting at I didn't know what the hell you were talking bout Afex.

Err... you're kidding right? You've got a picture of the VS buggy in your signature.

I can see how NC an NC vehicle (and an old model at that) with a VS logo could throw you off though.

I asked about the two-main-gun Vanguard, and Dave said it was an earlier development shot where they didn't have the changun barrels modelled, so they just stuck another main gun on as a placeholder.

grunkfest

2003-01-09, 12:24 PM

Not that important, but on the topic of the large sig - different browsers treat size specifications on tables very differently. IE and Netscape for example are quite different in how they handle tables, so it's quite possible that different people did or did not see a problem depending on what browser they used.

Can't add much to the conversation otherwise except to confirm that the double large-barrel vanguard was a placeholder until they had the models for the smaller guns done.
