So they are still planning on that? They seemed uncertain when you and Jenny went to Cali, so I didn't want to rely on it too much.

It sounds as though ground vehicles are pretty readily available. I'm trying to figure out if there's any real place for a Lodestar replacement, is why I have an interest. If it makes more sense for a group to just take a backlines tower and pull tanks, then there's not much reason to develop something like that.

Thank you for the write up and the Q&A incidentally, it's awesome to have a reasonably up to date picture of how everything is developing.

You know I've noticed some really odd structure design choices in the videos we've seen. Like the way the air pads on towers aren't connected to the base by a walkway, so the only way to get back to a landed plane would be to roll LA. I kind of hope that's temporary.

Yesssssssss.

Don't underestimate the value of those two things! I imagine the life of an LA will be short and glorious, jumping behind enemy lines, killing the engies, medics, and snipers supporting the front, and just generally making life hell for the enemy.

pretty sure the unconnected places are supposed to have teleport pads.

Great read, thanks man!

And if those LA happen to have some C4 (something we saw in TotalBiscuit's very first PS2 video), suddenly then can do a lot more than take out the squishies in back.
