On topic: One of the new things in this photo is how destroyed vehicles look. It's really great how their not the lifeless grey husk that may or may not have a vague similarity with the vehicle that was destroyed. Looks great.
Vanguard looks pretty epic as well, keep up the good work(although I'd love a shot of the new Prowler....maybe at 800 tweets?);)

Allow me to point out one thing to every one of you who does not want to follow TRay on twitter. Every screenshot has a background and in the background of the ones of the vanu there is bound to be a lot of bases, environments and other empires. As for dead TR and NC those may be in them. But if you have enough VS in any picture well there is always one or two unlucky bastards or braze souls who take one for the team.
SO FUCKING FOLLOW THE BOTH OF THEM YOU IDIOTS!!!

2011-11-11, 12:48 AM

Unlike the VS and the NC, we don't have a dev(aka someone like Higby and TRay) coming on every single day giving out screens to their faction, so we have to rely on the enemy. I was saying if your going to ask for a screenshot, don't be disappointed if it's not what you expected.
I personally don't care the condition the prowler is in, so if it's a pic of a platoon of Prowlers in flames with a few NC roasting marshmallows on the roasting flesh of a TR soldier, that's fine, because I just want to know what the new Prowler looks like.

You gotta get our Exec Producer Hackney (@SOE_Hack) or Chachi as T-Ray calls him, he's the TR nut on the dev staff to get some TR behind the scenes stuff... if we let him... we don't like producers getting behind the scenes stuff very often.

We've seen enough of the TR. Blah blah blah, NC, blah blah. Can it be VS week already?
Just messing around, I'm glad we're getting to see more of the Vanguard and Reaver. I love the turnarounds, it's so much better to be able to see them from so many angles at once.
Too bad we didn't get any NC HA armor, or even better, a MAX. I assume they are still just receiving a little more polish and a few last minute tweaks. Can't wait to see them.

everything is awesome so far except that NC tank design , somehow it looks very chilidish toyish, i mean its basically 2 boxes piled together with a cylinder :D im sure you can do better then that, something meaner more aggressive design something like HELLFISH posted, because so far an M1A1 abrams looks more modern then this NC tank, not to mention more meaner looking, it should be the other way round cause this game timeline supposed to be in the future, with more advanced armor layers on tanks and stuff.
Also that NC logo on the tank looks too clean compared to the other rusty scratched yellow blue lines.
Xyntech
2011-11-11, 03:52 AM
The NC armor also looks like toys. Their rifle looks pretty cool, but it's also a little big and clunky and, well, slightly toyish (but not as bad as the armor or Vanguard).
The Reaver is just dead sexy. That thing is a work of art. Nothing wrong there.
Still, aside from their aircraft, they are a rather silly and childish looking group of simpletons. Don't let their looks fool you though, they are still a ton of fun to burst with a microwave beam.
FastAndFree
2011-11-11, 04:32 AM
You have to remember where their stuff coms from. In fact their "combat gloves" are repurposed working gloves
It would really be no surprise at all if their tank was an armored bulldozer with a gun bolted on :rolleyes:
Actually that does sound pretty awesome...

That does sound awesome. So how did they manage to screw it up so bad? Gardening glove wearing imbeciles. I bet they turned a pesticide sprayer into a flame thrower and as awesome as that sounds, they probably were able to make that look stupid too.
God I hate the NC. Give me back my Reaver you bastards.

Sry...but their light armor looks like trash compared to the TR one and the gauss is too bulky. It looks like a gun for LEGO.
The only thing that is looking better then the current TR stuff, we saw till now, is the Reaver, especially when the landing gear isnt out, and the MAG-SHOT.
I cant compare the Vanguard with the Prowler because till now i saw only a very small concept-picture of the Prowler...but what i saw there was nice...very flat turret with weapons on the side and a nice looking body.
The concept of the NC Max was ugly as hell...even the VS ones looked better.
Atm even the TR with their "oh so" old style equitment looking more futuristic then the NC.

2012-03-25, 01:07 AM
I think that NC uses experimental gear in regards to say...prototype equipment. Not all prototypes are necessarily high tech or extremely effective, but they often have the newest tech (Components) or concepts integrated.
For instance, the VS rifle is obviously technologically superior to the NC gauss rifle, based on whatever mechanisms likely allow the VS rifle to function (Some crazy alien pewpew-voodoo) as opposed to a more conventional cartridge and firing pin based mechanism.
Though rather than simply firing bullets like the TR, they use special rounds with a special mechanism on the gun that allow them to be magnetically accelerated to incredible speeds.
The reason they are wearing gardening gloves and slab armor plates is because they are forced to salvage or fabricate most of their gear from sources other than military supply.
Thus the strange mix of technologically advanced mechanisms and/or scavenged equipment.

NC have the "hacker" mentality. basically, they'll grab anything they can get their hands on and re-purpose it and toy with it. key for the guerrilla mindset.
my guess is that they grabbed some destroyed mag rider and created railguns from it.
why the VS don't learn from this? because it was human made (not handed down from their God) and therefore refuse to use it.
meanwhile, the TR just look at it and says "what's this about fancy sancy tech? Melt this sucker down! do you know how many bullets we can make from this junk?!"
