n00b questions

[Terran Sniper]

Ok, I've been away for a while, but I got back into Planetside (serious now. no more dreams). and I have a few questions before i jump right in. I might have more long the way. (people who yelled at me when I said I was leavin, please don't make fun of me now :( )

1: Can an ANT fit inside a Galaxy?
2: What is the maximum number of squads for a platoon?
3: Could a Sunderer fit inside a Galaxy?

[loverofpie]

undefined ummmmm no :) and 3 full squads of 10

[xmodum]

1) yes
2) 3
3) no, for heavy vehicles, you have to use a LodeStar (new vehicle), this lodestar is a flying vehicle that can pick up and lift any ground veh.

[Terran Sniper]

wut kind of armaments does the LodeStar have?

[MajorTom]

wut kind of armaments does the LodeStar have?
A mean front bumper. :D

Seriosuly though, the loadstar is unarmed with the armor of a Galaxy. It looks (and flys for that matter) like a brick. One it land it acts as a mobile repair/rearm station for ground and air vehichles, so it is actually pretty usefull...

Just so you know, this is all important shiite to me. laugh if you want, but I have a notebook filled w/ tactics, platoon configs, all kinds of shiite

[Indecisive]

Sadly, none of that matters. Numbers do.

[Terran Sniper]

i'll keep that in mind

[JetRaiden]

you dont have to write anything down. you just kinda learn it after playing it for a little while. its better that way. I havent devoted more then a paragraph of information to planetside, and I still know everything there is to know about it.

[Terran Sniper]

thats wut i do. i get an idea i have to write it down. keeps my mind in order (and keeps me sane)

[Peacemaker]

Lodestar armor > Galaxy armor trust me, I have shot them down before.

[Lartnev]

QRGR lovingly name the lodestar the shoebox :D

[hex222]

yes, but i haven't played it yet...

did you say in your sig that your getting a 56k modem???

[ChewyLSB]

I thought the Lodestar was always a Repair/Rearm station, so aircraft could rearm in midair... guess not.

[Lartnev]

No, only when it's on the ground afaik.

Could only be land vehicles as well, but I think that was just a rumour.

[Terran Sniper]

Hex, I've had that sig since i joined (like, august 2003, i think)

[Cauldron Borne]

What empire you planning on playing? That will affect your strategies a lot. And what server?

(I have to mention this every post: TR MAX buffs....they are coming :evil: )

Used to be you could repair/rearm in mid air as long as the Lodestar wasn't moving, but just hovering.

[Majik]

Used to be you could repair/rearm in mid air as long as the Lodestar wasn't moving, but just hovering.

That was a mistake the devs made, just like the way the lodestar used to work sitting in a warpgate. Now it must be on the ground and outside a WG to act as a repair/rearm platform.

Oh and I prefer to lovingly refer to it as the Dumpstar in TS. :groovy:
