Last night at the developer interview you talked about the three towers and you said the landing tower was underpowered I jsut wanted to give you a boosting idea. Why not when you land nanite machines around the pad repair your ship and you can take off in 30-40 seaconds. It wouldnt overpower them, but they would be more important and stronger, especially when you fot in a dog fight and got some dmg you can just lan on a nearby pad and takeoff for more fighting in 20-30 seaconds very useful and a great idea!
Thoughts, ideas, opinions?

Rogue sets it straight.

mosquitos can be repaired, but they cannot repair themselves or anything else.

What happened to the mosquitos ability to repair things????

The Mosquito is primarily an airborne light recon aircraft. Much smaller and less armored than a light Gunship, Mosquitoes are however faster and more agile. Due to the fixed nature of its chaingun, Mosquitoes are better suited for strafing runs or lining up directly behind its target. Although its primary function is reconnaissance, all Mosquitoes are able to repair various objects including but not limited to other vehicles.

What the *beep*?!

[Sputty]

Wow, that makes the mosquito so much less useful.

[Falcon]

Kinda funny that you guys didn't know about that before lol

[OmnipotentKiwi]

I still think it is useful for what its intent seemed to be, scouting.

[Sputty]

I think, jsut for protection reasons that the Reaver will be used often in scouting and in combat Mosquitos are now useless...heh..Fast maybe...burt weaker offensively and defensively

Errr, I believe the Mosquito DOES NOT show up on radar, but Reaver does...

I'll be scouting in the Mosquito thank you very much.

ok, I'm confused as hell.... the first post is about giving the landing pads the ability to repair aircraft as a way to make them better.... what in the world does the mosquito have to do with anything??

Back in the olden days of yor when men were men and so were women, Skeeters could repair things.

[Steveokb]

heres the deal: no one cares if you show up on radar in a reaver, bring it! its just scouting. i agree the mosiquos or what ever are way to insignificant now other then being stealth, the have little offenive and little defencive, so why would a piolt pick it over a reaver?? i think if the mosiqutos can repair they would be MUCH more usefull

Planes are not tanks, keep that in mind when you post things like that.

Also keep in mind the only real advancement in the attack capabilities of the Reaver is dumbfire rockets, and the turret is movable.

I'm still lost. I understand that the mosquito spec changed, but the initial post by WarHampster911 doesn't even mention the skeeter at all. Why exactly did rouge bring it up?? (or is that revealed by reading the whole thread that those comments came from??)

[MrVicchio]

I just normally post the first post, and then the dev posts, and add the link for those lost.

Hehehe... I can't do EVERYTHING fro you
