Vanu... aggrevated damage, a good special, and not completely useless at what they are designed for...

does anyone else find it incredibly funny that TR is even listed on the poll?

And you can't argue with the Scattercannon being the best MAX in the game.

The vs are the best maxes because they can get to place quickly with the jump jets like on towers for example

But They only have one weapon, however the terran republic have two heavy weapons.
And have the run capability :rolleyes:

all maxes have auto-run, and having two guns doesn't mean shit, if anything it's a disadvantage.

But the TR MAXs are sexy, and hopefully they're about to become even sexier!

If it's single best MAX then The Scatter Cannon wins easy.

But for Overall it's hard to overtake the VS. The StarFire is the best AA max (IMHO) and the Comet is better then the Falcon... sooooo VS win overall with the Scatter Cannon being the best individual.

Poor TR

Anyone else remember Beta where a single DC could hold a hallway against a crush of infantry... that was swell. Back when the Dual Cycler Ruled the world!

the two guns dont do anything as they dont fire at the same time, and tr max weaponry cant really be considered heavy.

In my opinion, the only two MAX classes that are worth half a crap are AI and AA, so I won't even take AV into consideration, since 90% of the time it's not worth it. Everyone who's played this game at all knows that TR MAX's are overall crap, so I won't even consider them. So that just leaves NC and VS AI and AA MAX's.

AI MAX's: ScatCannon Vs. Quasar
The Scatcannon is the only AI MAX with a TTK against a rexo than a rexo's TTK with a deci against a MAX. The quasar will lose against a rexo deci, so the scat cannon is overall better. Also, the quasar burns through ammo quickly, moreso in AV mode. Also, the scat max isn't bad for anti-MAX, as it can take down AV MAX's.
Overall (Graded on a curve): Scat: 10/10 Quasar: 7/10

AA MAX's: Starfire vs. Sparrow (maybe it's the Falcon, I don't remember)
The starfire can kill a reaver with only one clip. The sparrow has a slightly harder time, but it's not that much worse.
Overall (graded on a curve): SF: 10/10 Sparrow: 9/10

MAX Special abilities: NC Shield vs VS Jumpjets
The NC can bitch and moan all they want about the uselessness of the shield, it still has it's uses. It can be used to shield during autorun, and, if dueling a rexo, it can block the first deci shot, and THEn start firing.
Overall (graded on a curve): VS: 10/10 NC: 9/10

The verdict: NC: 28 VS: 27

So my vote went to the NC.

I voted VS

Our MAXes look sexy. They aren't bulky and fat like the NC or TR MAXes.

You forgot that jump jets allow you to dodge the first deci shot, or hell, maybe even the second or third.

Voted Vanu. They've got decent AI, great AA, and while their AV sucks against vehicles (Who's dosen't?), it's good against infantry in a "flamethrower" fashion. Jumpjets are pretty good at evading small arms fire.

Also don't forget that a Reaver has a hard time one on one against a Starfire.

Against the Sparrow it can hover and spam you to death before you'd even have a prayer of killing him.

Gotta say the Star fire is ALOT better for that reason alone.

Also (And I'm not sure about this) But I think Jumping in a VS MAX when in Autrun brings the Weaps back online. Just currious because I've been chasing running Star-fires in a reaver and had them jump when my First Salvo comes in and spin and start shooting.

Scary

Won't avoid my striker.....


Anyway over all I'd say VS, but maybe with the Balance pass coming TR MAXes might be worth something.

Splattercannon for the win!

I even have macros:

/l STAY AWAY FROM THE INSTAGIB MAX!!

/l PLEASE FIX THE INSTAGIB MAX!!

/l THANK YOU FOR FIXING THE INSTAGIB MAX!! YOU SHALL BE SPARED

I also spam v-w-m every few seconds wether there are enemies or not- its only fair.



On a side note, the scattercannon could use a tripleshot mode and more armor damage, it takes almost a full clip to kill a flail, giving them enough time to get out and die. This is unacceptable.
