We need more info on Vehicles & Passangers!

Anyone have answers to these questions from past dev Q/A's? Or if a dev reads this, please respond =)



How many passangers can each vehicle have (what about AMS', light tanks, heavy tanks, harasser)

What vehicles will MAX's be able to travel in?

Can someone in HEAVY(not MAX) armor sit in a gunnery position? or do the same rules apply to gunning as apply to piloting?


Will some/all vehicles be able to store ammo? Think this was covered in a dev QA, but not on the PSU vehicles page =/




on a side note:

How many mine sweepers can someone carry?

Here's a questions I've been wondering about: can you fire the main weapon on a heavy tank or the 20mm cannons on the Galaxy if you don't have the cert for either vehicle? We know there are certs for driving & flying, but do those include operation of the weapons?

I am not sure about the tank, but you can shoot the guns on the galaxy without a galaxy cert.

I would assume it would be the same for the tank.

Vehicle Crews

Lightning = driver who is also the gunner
Prowler, Vanguard, Mag-rider = driver and gunner
Harasser, Enforcer,Thresher = driver and gunner
The Marauder = driver and two gunners
AMS= ? 1 driver is all I have ever heard ?
Mosquito = 1 pilot
Reaver= 1 pilot

Troop Transports
Galaxy=1 pilot, 3 gunners, 6 passengers, 2 MAX's, 1 lightning or buggy (including marauder

Sunderer= ? I hear it can carry a full squad though ;)

Deliverer= less than a sunderer but it's amphibious

Last I heard only the Galaxy (2) and the Sunderer APC(?).

I belive reinforced armor can drive some vehicles though which ones hasn't been said. So I would say reinforced armor could be a gunner at least in some vehicles.

I feel confident in saying yes for all the tanks, buggies and APCs, I dunno about the rest.

It look likes mine sweepers work just like grenades. They take use the same inventory space as ammo and take up about half the space of a clip. Based on the following screenshot a person in agile armor could carry 9 minesweepers and still have room for 5 ammo clip/boxes.
