OK so im gonna play as TR and me and my squad go around stealing VS mosquitos and other air vehicles.

First how are other TR people gonna tell it is other Teamates?

Second how are VS people gonna be able to tell?

Third Can i pick up VS people while im in a VS galaxy then crash it killing them all?

The color scheme is modified to your faction, when you steal a vehicle.

You cannot hijack a VS Galaxy, gather in enemy troops, and then proceed to slam into the side of a mountain.. Would be awesome, but wont happen.

Secondly, and I most deffinetly could be incorrect in stating this but doesnt the color scheme of the vehicle you have jacked conform to what empire you are loyal to?

thats dumb, I dont know about you but most people can steal a car and then paint it right there. I think that letting people fly other faction vehicle would open up a whole knew demension to teh game. Well thats my 2 cents.

Yeah Fire we posted at about the same time. Sorry for the mixup.

That's idiotic, if it didn't immediately paint your empire's colors on it, there would be chaotic friendly fire and the person on your empire who kills you will get grief points just because you're a dumbass.
Also, I can't remember, when a tank blows up does it take out everyone inside it? or does it throw everyone out unscathed?

If a vehicle explodes with you in it, you die.

The President · 2003-03-29, 02:17 AM

As it should be.

A VS mosquito??? The skeeter is common pool. Why the hell would anyone purposely go after them??

The President · 2003-03-29, 02:26 AM

Yeah i was just about to comment on that.
Great minds think alike.

Well, better that you have it than your enemy does.

Since vehicle explosions are supposed to be lethal to people near the vehicle (as borne out by the latest screenie), it isn't too much of a stretch to assume that the people inside are going to be crisy critters as well.

Well because i didnt know that the colors would change on the vehicle so i would be flying a VS colored Mosquito. If you read my question you would know that.

I think the thing you're gonna be seeing the most of is the inside of spawn tubes.
