planet seaside....again

[easypickings]

Would it not be good if you could just fly or drive to the next cont, it could just load the same way when you get to the boundry and you go to that cont, would givr more ways to attack,

or.... a huge great big bridge...... with mounted guns and bunker things on it.

maybe some oil rig type things here and there and boats and hovercrafts...

planet seaside, perhaps.

I wish we could fly or use a deli to get to different continents and not only through the warp gates. I really like that idea but i don't see it being implemented.

[Lartnev]

Hehe just thinking about how long it would take to get a deliverer from one continent to another over water.

The devs can't implement it.... at least not yet. SmokeJumper said so.

When I was a noob I tried to fly my galaxy between continents :doh: Got owned by the invisible barrier and didn't understand why.

I love the idea of being able to fly across the great seas. If you think about it, an air force (4 mossies, 7 reavers, 3 libs, 1 gal) flying as fast as the gal (about 90 kph, right?) would cross an ocean in about 2-3 minutes. And they could enter from anywhere, not just a WG.

How about being able to get certification in sea-going vessels. You could have maybe the following: (keep in mind the names aren't cool yet, I'm thinking off the top of my head.)

Destroyer - Small, fast, about 95kph max speed. 3 person ship: 1 captain (driver), 1 surface-to-surface cannon/gun/whatever, 1 surface-to-air flak cannon (much like the skyguards, slightly higher RoF and a touch more damage per hit.)

Cruiser - Heavier, anti-ship/limited off-shore bombing capabilites. 4 person crew: 1 driver, 2 surface-to-surface cannons, 1 long-range (apprx. 500 meter) mortar-like cannon. Used primarily for escort/off-shore bombing.

Battleship - Heavy Assault/Off-Shore bomber. 5 person crew(huge I know): 1 pilot, 2 surface-to-surface rocklet-like missles, 2 heavy mortar-like cannons for off-shore bombing (1500 meter range).

Aircraft Carrier - Sea-born rearm/repair ship, landing pad. 2 person crew: 1 driver, 1 rocklet type missle launcher.

Transport - Much like a sea-born galaxy. crew of 20, however. 1 driver, 10(4 of which are guns, 2 anti-ship 2 anti-air) regular passengers, 8 MAXes, 1 vehicle.

It's rough I know, but just an idea.

I tryed that when i first got onto planetside, tryed to fly a gal to anouthere cont, blow up in mid air

Sorry folks, all vehicles a powered by warpgate power - you get too far away and you lose engine power. That's been the official fiction since day one. Technically it's not allowed because it wouldn't allow them to control populations. That's why things are funneled through the warp gates.

[Mag-Mower]

umm... anyone consider lag? that would be a problem...
