Anyone know what it would be like when your waiting in a transport ????? Would you just sit there and look at the wall and chat or do you have a window to look thru or something ? be fun if they had a built in solitaire cause I would hate to just sit somewhere for a while...bored o_O

[Kriege]

ooooh yea , to hamma. GET RID OF MY RECRUITS TITLE >_<

[FireFrenzy]

I was hoping everyone would be able to see out of their certain compartment, but you get a third person view that i think you can sway around in. Post a bit more and you'll get to soldier i think.

[Hamma]

You are in 3rd person view

[Cao_Cao]

Ok, Understand the whole 3rd person thing



But where ... LIke fromt he pilots pit to you or from the back of the thing and you see every body ?

Just a questioN

[Sputty]

It's probablt movable bt if not I'd imagine it's chase.

[Civilian]

lol, I love your lessons Civilian.

[Civilian]

I didn't create em', the staff at Planteside-Links did. I do find them extremely amusing, though.

[Hamma]

When I played your external view was above the aircraft, and you could rotate around.

SWEET

Hamma is there a PUB in the bases for us that want to have a couple tall ones and talk about manly stories before we go back to killin????!?!?!

[Hamma]

no.

[Wreck]

i think it would be better to have a window, for the reason im about to attempt to explain. Lets say a Galaxy transport is carrying a "full squad of players (one pilot, three gunners, six passengers, two heavy armors, and a light tank or buggy with driver, passengers and gunner)." Now, if you've got that many people all in a rotatable 3rd person view then a surpise attack on an enemy transport is all but impossible from the air, and people on the ground are likely to be seen by someone as well. If the transport see an enemy ship incoming from a far distance itll just land - unload - and then the passengers will unload on the enemy ship. Not exactly fair. I think that the passengers should mingle inside then ship, and the pilot a have decent but limited view, plus proximity sensors to warn when an enemy ship is inbound. The gunners also should only be able to see where their guns can be rotated around to. This means that escorts will be used a lot more and become a nessecity as they are in any RL battle. Thats my 2 cents

[Hamma]

The gunners do not have external view. But all passengers do. I can see where it would make it difficult for someone to sneak up on the galaxy. But thats why they put it in, to give the pilot more eyes.

[Wreck]

but shouldnt the escoirts be the eyes? i guess i wouldnt like it if every time i went in a transport i got blown to pieces, but it does add some RL element. i think everyone needs to know the answer to this question too hamma, so ill post it now:

Do i get BEPs for jumping out of Galaxy transports, landing on enemies, and killing them because my bones and viscera explode like a melon out of a plane?

You didn't really gimme an answer on irc, so you can here
