a lot of you will probly burn me for this but i think that the devs should put in a lot more empire specific stuff so people arent just like whoa VS looks cool i wanna go on thier team. instead it should be like whoa NC got some hella sweet weapons and vehicles i wanna go on there team!!
what you guys think?

But, if you add stuff to both sides evenly.... You wont change that. Unless your proposing to add stuff only to NC, or give more stuff to the NC than the other two empires.

no stuff to all side equally like the nc get a new tank but the vs get a new anti tank buggy and the tr get a new aircraft or somthing or add stuff all at the same time like new aircraft for all but different things like a heavy assault craft for vs a AMS air for tr (that is stupid idea) and a light fast craft for nc.

Last thing NC needs is another instagibbing tank...
If i see another sad assault buggie i will cry...
however, i'd like to see some emp specific Air units

I doubt they'd do it. Judging by the amount of complaints they got about the new deliverers, they'd never hear the end of it ie NC: "oh ffs the VS got a heavy assault craft and we got something that gets shot down within two seconds" etc.

Truth. If they add anything, it'll probably be cross-empire. What I mean is, if they give one empire an Aircraft, the other two will get aircrafts as well. Otherwise, you get a whole new set of problems to deal with.

OOOHH i seee. Thatd be kinda cool.
I had an idea for these once:
TR:
a HUGE Air transport with two huge underside dual ground pounding cannon pods (250 mm with like 4-6 seconds between shots), two front side forward 310-120 degree machine guns (40mm rapid fire), two top side mid wing upward facing ones or something (25mm) and one normal back on like on the gal(but 50mm)(these would all be dual barreled and fire simultaneously, and move around like a slow WW2 pod). It would be like 2.5-5 times the gal size hold up to 4 vehicles(up to prowler size) 6 troops and 4 maxs(minus gunners and pilot). It looks just like a gal besides all hte gun turrets(theyre all like the superfortress underside pods but futuristic looking) and it has delta wings instead. There could only be two per continent (maybe more)and it cant leave through the warpgates because of its size. (i came up these before i started playing but.. and before they split auraxis as youll se in the nc one! *)
NC:
One hover craft that looked just like the massive ones that cross the english channel. It would hold two vangaurd sized vehicles and two buggy sized additionally or up to 4 buggy sized with no AMS allowed in any spot, 4 mounted machine guns all around the top surface like form GIJoe and 3 flac cannons in a triangle in the middle of the MC guns. They would be real WW2 flac though and we be set to explode on altitude and would have no auto explosion(You could change the altitude on them like you so secondary or like on an ACE device) All of these weapons would be single barrel and mounted on a 360 degree mount that can pretty much fire in any direction and shoot anything as long as the vehicle itself isnt blocking their aim. It would also hold like 8 troops and 2 maxs. There could be 6 Per cont and they could cross oceans and dont need warpgates to travel.(the pre meteor thing 8\)
VS:
too long to describe. Its and awsome looking 8 max transport with beyond futuristic weapon pods! And its nothing but a max transport excepth the two gunners and the pilot. And you could have like 8 or more(maybe unlimited but at a huge cost of like 7-10certs.) (The other vehicles would be extremely expensive too)

Used to... and they never went out in weather that was remotely rough :)
I think a gunship variant of the galaxy would suit you fine tbh.

dual ground pounding cannon pods (250 mm
40mm rapid fire
but 50mm
Is this a transport or an anti everything-on-the-ground-and-most-stuff-in-the-air craft?

Yea, transports shouldn't have 250mm cannons, just never. Not even 50mm or even 40mm, 35mm at the most and that's being generous.

Indeed, similar to the AC-130 Spectre. One massive port side AV gun, similar (and I mean SIMILAR to the gauss on the Thundy) with 2-3 port side AI guns (like the Lib Nose gun). A SLIGHT armor buff so it can fly low enought to dominate a CY by flying CCW circles and stay in the air.

The TRs isnt supposed to be a transport alone. Its a capitol ship with transport. And i didnt mention hte hour or more timer.

Balance what is IN-game first, before adding shit. Kthxla~

why do they have to add DIFFERENT vehicles to each empire. Empire specific is different. E.g. empire specific reavers they would look different for each empire and would have slightly different weapons e.g. TR reaver would unload its payload faster and fire bullets faster, NC rockets could do more damage VS rockets might lash all of the surrounding area when they hit etc etc people talk too much crap about having to have completely different vehicles and planes which then have to balance or be able to counter each other. I think people would just be happy if the common pool vehicles and planes such as reaver, skeeter, AMS, assault buggies etc etc just looked different from the other empires.

More empire specific stuff would be good, as long as it is fairly balanced. I don't want NC getting a new tank, VS getting a new aircraft, and TR getting some kind of AAcraft. Then they would only be balanced if it was a 3 way fight. I would like to see soem empire specific Air craft.
