Sounds like the new AMS.

yea, I r Happy now.

fly 12 people around, drop em at low altitude, land the gal, deply it, setup a defence...roll a sunderer in...forward base.

Sooo, Pretty.... and point defense beats cloaking bubble any day. I approve of the vehicles and their roles so far. Excitement is over 9000

My favorite looking vehicle so far, except maybe the Scythe (duh). Also, 4 weapons systems??? Does the pilot have a gun now or something? And I see no mention of a vehicle carrying capacity, whether it be the same as PS1 with ANT and Lightning sized vehicles or some sort of modification that makes it a heavy lift vehicle. Was really hoping for a kind of "sky crane" refit that sacrificed troop carrying ability and allowed it to carry tanks under the belly.

DEFINITELY prefer this over the old AMS.

Galaxy mini-bases? HELL YEAH

Yeah I'm guessing the 4th weapon is a nose gun for the pilot. Either that or a top-mounted MG for defensive use when it's deployed. I hope the tailgun can shoot up now.

Interesting design tho. Not too fond of the bulky look.... Holds 12 now, no mention of if it can still carry a vehicle tho, nor if it has a cloaking bubble when deployed. I hope that the cloaking bubble is on the base model, or at the very least available as an unlock. We need to have a cloaked mobile spawn point available to us for stealth operations.

Even if it does cloak tho it'll still have certain limitations due to its size compared to an AMS. I wonder if the wings fold in once its deployed to reduce its footprint...

I also presume that it needs to be stationary and on the ground to deploy. I always thought the concept of ppl spawning in a flying gal to make a continuous stream of paratroopers kind of silly.

I love how it looks. I liked the Galaxy in PS1, but this one is so much more streamlined. I just wish we had more angles of it than head-on.

I love the look of it. And I swear, that thing looks like it needs a runway or something to take off/land. It does NOT look like a VTOL to me

The nicest part is the detail of the base behind it, first great screenshots of an actual facility

[Hamma]

Very cool that it is deployed similar to an AMS and is not a flying spawn point as we first expected.

Honestly, it's so absurd, that it's shocking anybody thought that to be the case.

I think everybody always automatically assumes the worst of any situation when something new is announced. well not everybody...but most.
