I know we've had a close up look at the skeeter before this, but we're getting a nice view of the terminal itself instead of just the screen! - Lookin' nice Dev team!

Flashy

Oh. OOOOOh.... Aaaah....

[Coreldan]

Cool stuff. I love how it's made "dynamically" into the world instead of a window that pops up on your end.

Does that mean that a cloaker sitting nearby would be able to see what vehicle(s) you can and are pulling?

[Coreldan]

Well, the screens actual content might be visible to you only, impossible to know at this point.

[CrystalViolet]

That's a whole new level of persistence, having the menus in game. :D

[Crator]

Very nice!

[Mastachief]

I like it :)

[Death2All]

Looks awesome. Wonder how it works when you have 50 people crowding the terminal. Does the vehicle display show only for you? Or does everyone see it?

Or is that just a static image to represent the V term? Cool nevertheless!

Can we please have some sort of "news" or intel stream such as the Captain Quarters of EVE online offer? Not personal quarters of course but rather screens mounted in footholds or facility's that broadcast usefull or entertaining things. Commercials will be acceptable but only under the condition they are pre screened by a panel consisting of the 5 drunkest members of the development team by 5 pm on the 2nd Friday of every month.

Maps,overlays and elegant display of relevant information is sexy if you ask me.

Is Vanguard the new Mercedes? :)

[Quovatis]

Would be funny if an enemy cloaker could push some keys and mess up your selection.

Looks cool though.

[Mod]

Looks pretty cool, although maybe slightly odd the way the screen part just sort of stops. Could do with either a slim frame around the screen or a slight fade at the edges maybe.

Anyway, operationally it certainly raises more questions.

[Raymac]

^ Maybe it's a hologram though so we don't need a frame, eh?

LOL, equipment terminal virus! You select a Magrider but get a Mosquito!

[Coreldan]

Frameless screens already exist too :O

I think... I'm fairly sure ive seen something regarding them, but at least seems that they are nowhere near common in commercial world.

[Figment]

I'm more interested in knowing if that is in- or outdoors and if outdoors, how much cover you get from it.

Considering the darkness though, I'd say indoors. Which would make OSes and Liberator strikes on vpads a thing of the past. I wouldn't have to yell at people to disperse anymore... :x

Not sure if I can cope with that.

[LongBow]

nice, given multiple players need to use the screen at one its unlikely that the screen shows a real time menu. However its nice to see that small things are around to make the world feel alive as you walk past it.

[Nobel]

The most interesting thing about this picture isnt that its a vehicle terminal; its that it is the first interior shot weve seen. We can clearly see a ceiling and windows....

[Traak]

Please make quick menus available at the vehicle term, so I can hit "use" then 1,3,5 for my first vehicle, say, a tank, with option set 3, which is twin AA guns, and 5 being loaded to the gills with AA ammo.

I don't want to fumble with a mouse in-game, for any menu, ever.

And we need more faves in our Equipment Term menus, too, so we can do a two- or three- digit quick code to get our favorite loadouts, instead of having to wade through the molasses of mouse-choosing all over the place if we want to change even one item from the only ten choices we have.

Less time doing unnecessary stuff, and more time doing stuff that is necessary. it shouldn't be necessary to mouse-select anything. I should be able to hit enter, my favorite number sequence, and be off.

Not hit enter, then have to scroll through a list of vehicles, then select one, then re-click it, etc. Slows things down, and adds nothing to the game.

Hotkeys for all menus are a necessity.

[fuzzehthehydra]

Are those three circles on the right-hand side of the screen for AI/AV/AA selection?

[Ailos]

The walls are a little too brown-orange to be concrete, unless Nanite Systems decided to go with red brick when constructing the base. Either that's due to the sunrise/sunset or that's actually and underground terminal.

I'm leaning more towards underground, since it seems to be for ground cav. Aircav probably has a different terminal elsewhere in the base (ala Techplant style).

[CuddlyChud]

Are those three circles on the right-hand side of the screen for AI/AV/AA selection?

I think its view selection (Side, Top, Front).

I'd think the screen is more eye candy than anything else. Can you imagine 20 people all crowding around trying to use that screen to pull a vehicle? It would suck, unless there was no body collision,

[Raka Maru]

Hmmm, a hologram. Gotta actually be looking at it while picking. Must show client side or many can't use it at once. Imagine the lines. :D
