is this true?

[culkid]

someone just told me that, you will have to keep flying crystals back to your base in order to keep it powered?

[Saint]

Yes it is true. It shouldn't be too bad, adds another aspect to owning a base.

[culkid]

thats booring

[Deadlock]

crystals? wtf happend to the ANT taking energy from a warp gate?!?!? this isnt zelda or mario, crystals have no place in this game :mad:

[culkid]

^ agree.. i think they should take it out

[Saint]

Culkid it will not be that bad I promise, it isn't crystals I don't think. It is nanite, some energy source on Auraxis. Each base has a silo and if you have some willing players with escorts it shouldn't be hard to defend the base and keep the silo full, just relax. Plus the ANT (Advanced Nanite Carrier) can fit in the back of a galaxy.

[Deadlock]

sorry culkid, didnt mean to mislead u. i thought the ANT carried energy, u just threw me when u said crystals. Fuel truck convoy i can deal with, crystals are to fairy like,welcome to the world of magic, for me.

[korezero]

I thought, the ANT went to the nearest warpgate and took "nanites" from the warpgate and you bring them back to the base and extract them into the base to keep it powered. I think the power in the base lasts a pretty long time so you don't have to fill it up all the time.

[Airlift]

Just don't haul nanites if you don't like it. Personally, I don't plan to spend much time holding a base, let alone gassing it up. Based on what I've read, when you take an objective your best payout comes from moving on to the next objective.

[Scarab]

yeah...That's what I thought of everytime they mentioned Dilithium crystals in Star Trek....argh crystals!! Are these space fairies?

/sarcasm off

[ABRAXAAS]

The ants have crystals in em that store the energy from the warp gates . Its a great Idea . If you dont like it dont drive em there will be plenty of people willing to do it :D

[Deadlock]

ill have no problem delivering an ANT full of cargo to a base if my outfit wants me to... as long as they dont say im haulin crystals, makes me sound like some woodlen elf on some freakin magical quest :P~

[diluted]

yea.. realism with having to power a base but NO AREA SPECIFIC DMG WTF:mad:

[Moleculor]

I'd be willing to drive.

ANT and Advanced Naninte carrier dont match it would have to be ANC the way u put it.:rolleyes:

[BUGGER]

Someday I'll be a trucker........so do expect me do be a cargo carrier.;)

[Deadlock]

Fine, its a Advanced Naninte Transport, you english teachin nazi :p

[Arthell]

Ill happily help transport ANTs via Galaxy.

Then again, i would probably have a couple friends with Skeeters/Reavers escorting and trying to lure them to the Galaxy ... just for fun. :D
