Think about this...

[Tolvy]

Just think about a fully loaded galaxy, say 15 people in it total. You shoot it down and everyone inside dies. That gets you (and your group) 15 kills. Thats a whole lotta BEP's.
The moral of this story is: Never have a fully loaded galaxy or I will hunt you down.

[Sytadel]

Do you get the BEPs for the men inside the galaxy? I didn't know that. Makes sense, I guess. Also, I think the moral of the story is to heavily defend your fully loaded Galaxys :}

[m0rphiu5]

yes that would be an interesting connundrum, but you would have to be pretty stupid to leave a fully loaded galaxy unprotected....

besides i doubt that you would kill all the occupants, they have the nifty jetpack thingz in armor, so they could bail out, yes?

but if it could be done you would be very lucky.

[Hamma]

You can bail.. but its unknown if you get BEP's for everyone inside.

[Doobz]

i keep hearing about these jet pack thingies, what are they?

[Hamma]

I cant remember what they are called... they are a futuristic parachute. It allows you to bail from an aircraft and not die, it slows your decent.

[Kaikou]

wasn't it something like hydrolics in the leggings that absorb the impact shock?

course that wouldn't work considering the person's brain would be shaken loose on impact...

[SVoyager]

i think its called "kinetic dampeners" or something like that???

[KoldFusion]

:stupid:
he's right
although i don't remember hearing if they went into the game for sure

[Sytadel]

Hmm... could they be used for quick drop-bail operations? Say your raiding an enemy base, rather than landing the galaxy, just have all your men use their 'parachutes' (kinetic dampeners) onto the roof of the building you're raiding or whatever? That'd be interesting. Of course, you don't want your slow descent to be interrupted by Anti-aircraft guns ;o

[Hamma]

Possibly.. who knows :)

[Tobias]

Im sure there will be leet galaxy pilots and gunners who will be really good at taking you from point A to point B without getting shot down, and for the gunners, shooting down those people who make it their lifes goal to kill something with the skeeter.

[Tolvy]

It would be kinda hard to bail if someone blew it up, maybe 1 or 2 people would escape, but still thats a lotta kills.

[Airlift]

... by the time you see my Galaxy, the troops are already on the ground and I'm just looking for attention.

[Tobias]

I will ram your galaxy with my Galaxy Airlift


not my Galaxy has a capital G and yours gets a lowercase one, thats cause Vanu Galaxy pwnz yours...somehow.

[Jimmah]

It'd be even more worse if you sent like 4 fully loaded Galaxies (okay, won't happen.. but let's dream) against a really heavily loaded base, and you get completely destroyed.

now THAT's a lot of BEPs and even more weapons to pick up from the dead. :D

[Tobias]

4 fully loaded galaxys in snothing! it will happen all the time! now back in the day.....

[Jimmah]

I personally don't see them happening much.

Only if you get 1 huge outfit, or a number of outfits teaming up.

[Tobias]

Thats because you dont understand the Vanu, we are Legion, and well organized with a good health care plan, and will have many such large raids. Its all about the Networking, and the sex, but everything is about the sex.

:lol::rofl::lol:

I think i'll include that in my sig! :D

[Tobias]

heh.

[�io]

It was just too much a good quote. :D

[Jimmah]

Lol, yeah it was. Gj. :p

[m0rphiu5]

yes, i have to agree.... their will be large scale attacks takin place, maybe not everyday, but every week surely... i mean the sheer vastness of it should ensure that.

[Warborn]

I imagine some folks will get blown out of the sky with a fully loaded Galaxy, but not many. If you're going to transport 15 people, you're likely going to have at least one other flying escort in a combat aircraft. Now, being able to take out a durable vehicle like a Galaxy which is firing at you, while at least one or person in another combat aircraft is also firing at you, will be impossible alone unless you're incredibly good and they're pretty damn terrible at aiming/flying.

Morale of the story: Ain't no Galaxies gonna be shot down unless you're flying with a squad of other people in aircraft of their own :)

[Mold]

ok, now think about this! Say there you are protecting a galexy in your maskito, and you accidentaly ram or shoot down your fully loaded alied dropship in the intense dogfighting. Talk about some greif points! And dont accidentally ram another fully loaded galexy when your packing a full load of troops either!
Seriously tho, have the developers thought about this? In a chaotic air raid/air defence i could see that happening easily.

in PS, communication will be key so galaxies dont collide.

this is true, but with the nifty little jetpack things (that act like parachutes) i doubt many people will take out a galaxy fully loaded, even if thy manage to get round its defences im sure the troops inside would be smart enough to jump out if its going down...... i know i would, wouldnt you?

[Tobias]

The TR have faith, they will never jump out!

[m0rphiu5]

good, more kills for me, lol

[Tobias]

I have a question about BEP. Those of us who have played INFENTRY (game by verant where 2-4 sides of thse empires run around on a world killing one another with futuristic weapons and vehicles) know that when someone has killed lotsa people or just lived along time, they are worth tons of exp to kill, so you try and kill em. I like using mines to kill them myself, but a good old PD works at long range. Do you think that killing people with lotsa of BEP/CEP will net you more experiance then bagin a n00b?

[Jinxmasta]

I really hope so because then it would be sort of pointless to be a sniper and trying to take out the generals...

[�io]

Well i would hope/assume it would be a bit more but not much. You see rank means little about the player skillz. The general you're trying to kill could simply be a n00b that has no clue what he is doing but has been playing day and night for 2 months so he has a lot of BEPs even if he sucks while the grunt beside said general is actually the top player on the server but in a new character. :)

[Incompetent]

he wouldn't be a general if all he has is BEPs, CEPs my friend, and those are a bitch to get specifically to keep there being a bunch of dumb nub generals.

[Jinxmasta]

Well some squads really don't care who their squad leader is so if you are the squad leader each time and you are successful, it shouldn't be too hard. This means we should carefully pick our squad leaders...

[Incompetent]

i don't think to many people are even going to want to group with some nub who can't walk straight, which would preclude him from a command position automatically. Not to mention dave has said that if you want to be a general, you have to cap a shitload of bases and some pickup group won't be able to do that.

[�io]

Well that depends on what you define a "general". I was assuming said sniper was trying to snipe a high ranked player, i.e. not n00b armor(more secondary armor and more plates). Now if he is specifically looking for a dude with more armor plates (CEPs) than yeah most likely his target won't be a n00b.

[m0rphiu5]

yeah as it will be fairly easily seen to how high you are up in the ranks i think it should give you more experience to kill a general, as mentioned it would make a sniper's role less important if it weren't like that.... would be much more realistic if it were included...
