SOE PS2 Webcast: Nanite Systems Vehicle Questions

**RadarX** · 2012-01-25, 09:49 PM

As you may have read earlier this week, the PS2 dev team will be webcasting tomorrow afternoon. I thought we'd try something crazy this time and ask in advance. Do you have questions about NS Vehicles? This may be your chance to get them answered. I certainly can't promise a response to every question, but I can promise they will be seen.

Fire away!

More details on the Lib, anything you can tell us!

Gameplay wise, is the Sunderer meant to be a transport vehicle, a deployable fortress IFV or a heavy-armor snail (like in PS1) with special abilities and passengers ?

SKYeXile · 2012-01-25, 09:58 PM

Are the NS vehicles customisable with empire specific weapons? eg: can you equip a VS sunderer with some sort of plasma weapon, while the other empires would get access to gauss or some other inferior projectile weapon?

Will the galaxy be able to spawn players into it's troop compartment while in flight, or will spawning only be possible after the ship has landed and the tubes deployed?

Good question. I like it.

Yep, we can address that one.

Is the galaxy the only mobile spawn?

How many factors on vehicles can be upgraded/sidegraded? For instance, the Sunderer: how many aspects of it can be adjusted via upgrades and sidegrades? Is this similar to ES vehicles as well?

"Its powerful engine and heavy mass also allows it to push almost any other vehicle out of its way, including tanks." I would like some elaboration on this aspect of the Sunderer. For instance, if a Sunderer and say a Vanguard are on a collision course with each other going full speed, what happens? Does the the Sunderer ramp over the Vanguard or flip the tank? Also is damage done to either vehicle in the process? Btw, Higby you rock, Go NC!

I've read that the bases are going to more of a section-by-section capture than just a single room to sit in. Any more details on this? And this may have been answered but will the "bunkers" outside of the bases make a return at all (preferably in a non-worthless role)?

Scrima · 2012-01-25, 10:45 PM

BTW that might not seem like a NS question, but aren't they the ones that built a lot of the bases.... ignore the fact that the webcast is about NS VEHICLES

Lonehunter · 2012-01-25, 10:56 PM

If the Lightning is made from NS then I'd like a few details on that

or

Can you give us some examples of upgrades for a vehicle? We've heard it could take up to a year to fully advance down a "cert tree", what are those things we'll be dedicating our time to unlocking?

Peacemaker · 2012-01-25, 10:57 PM

More details on the liberator. Does the pilot weapon and the gunner weapon have overlapping fields of fire? Is there a tail gunner? Where is my futuristic huey troop transport!?

Biohazard · 2012-01-25, 10:59 PM

Will the lighting function in a similar way as in PS1? (As in light tank)
