It doesn't have a top, only the pilot has his head covered. Its slow, no weapons, beat one up in about 10 seconds with the 35mm. Pretty strong otherwise, shield is amazing, I got hit by a flail's shot and only lost like a quarter.

Got the coolest boarding animation ever. Don't even let anyone tell you about it, wait to see it for yourself.

[Edit: Mean pilot boarding, btw]

The jets on that thing look awsome, but the cargo space looks gay with such a small vehicle-even the magmower is puny inside that thing.


And they probly could add maybe a empire logo on the back of the ship.


But otherwise, kool, I'm getting air support(right?) when it goes live to everyone.

so all it does is tug any vehc to any loc? no other troops (besides the ones in the vehc)? no guns either? damn, sounds kinda lame other than the fact you can haul any vehc in that monster

about how long are they expecting the Lodestar and the recert thing to move from testing to real deal on the main servers?

There are 2 big tests today, there were no big issues found in test one. Depending on how test 2 goes (just started I think) it will go live tomorrow.

No big issues is by my view btw, no official annoucment. THere were no play stopping issues during the test.

Idea for Lodestar tactics

How many times have you and your outfit buds decided to take the Platoon to an enemy continent and realize that you are the only TR there? Well, I've seen it a lot. This is a good answer. Get a Lodestar pilot with an AMS inside. Have your Aviation guys cover him to the destination. While your troops and Armor are moving in, land the Lodestar, deploy the AMS, have CE's set up deployables, and let your Infantry and Armor attack the target. Now you have a fall back base to outfit your vehicles from and to spawn at.

That thing is ungodly strong. I went out in an agile filled with AP ammo and my gauss, parked it outside the WG, and just emptied every bullet into it.


Didnt kill it. Got it down there, but 500 AP Gauss rounds didnt kill the damn thing.

Wonder if the massive hull size is an indication of bigger vehicles to come. Like massive tanks.

Anyways, the first thing i thought when i saw it flying whit something in it was: WTF, an amish airborn barn?

SOE says they are planning on bringing in Heavy Tanks. I wonder what those will be like.

God, the fucking 100mm cannon is a pain in the ass, i would hate to see some smurf run around in the new Panzer with a fully functional 250mm cannon and 30mm chain guns... :doh: :doh:

Five man tank, 1 driver, 1 flak gunner, 2 75mm gunners and one Ultra Heavy Rail Projector that can knock down base shield and kills anything in 1 shot.
