no it's an air-dell Hex: non-tech(hopefully), airborn transport that cloacks, with dell level holding capasity.

I'll be in the people the Dev's blatantly ignore club. It's far less exclusive.

I dunno, I remember myself and others going on and on and on a few months back about how the Decimator was ridiculously overpowered against MAXs. My proposal was that various damage types affect MAXs differently. Its nice to know someone was listening. Another one that I found interesting when I came back is how the Prowler now has a 15 mm on top. I just cant even count the number of times I suggested that as a fix many months ago. Clearly the devs read this forum

That's certainly a possibility, but it's also possible that the solution you came to happened to be the most logical solution which they came to on their own anyhow. Things like the mine/deci damage were just so obvious, the only weird thing was how long it took them to change them.

I would be in that club, back in core combat beta you couldn't drop a mod originally you either made it or you exploded. so I made a post asking to make it them the llu (shift+g to drop), smoke replied and sure enough it was in the next version. so everyone who has ever droped a mod seconds before it blew I will take your thanks now.

I know it isn't much but hey this is my contribution to the game and I want people to know.

Ok ok just a little info a dev told me about the Phantasm, dunno if anyone else has already spread the word so dont O F N me if you've already heard.

It's wings are folded backwards when it emerges from the v-pad. They swing forward after it lifts off. The circles in the wings are its lift engines, which I'm guessing are directable. It carries 5 people (not sure if that includes pilot but I dont think it does) who board via a ramp somehow (I'm guessing its in the back). It's only weaponry is a fairly weak belly turret used for clearing its drop area of light resistance (yes, LIGHT resistance, this thing isnt an air tank). It decloaks when it's weapon fires, and also becomes visible at higher speeds. It doesn't have a ton of armor either (but it's a stealth aircraft).

NOW. DIS-FRICKING-CLAIMER. REALIZE THAT IT IS STILL IN PRODUCTION. WHAT IS LISTED ABOVE IS ONLY WHAT THE DEVS HAVE PLANNED FOR IT CURRENTLY IN THEIR DESIGN DOC. That stuff is very likely to change after the Devs get done with BFRs and can really get rolling on it. I'm gonna be pissed if I see any buff/nerf/whine threads about any of the above because its not frigging out yet, or even being worked on, so spare your breath, the devs were kind enough to let us in on some of this, lets return the favor.

Me: Hayoo, you should ask for a pic of the phantasm
Hayoo: naw, man, they would never do that
*/me walks up and asks t-ray*
T-Ray: Sure, grab me a pen

Then I ran around and showed everyone :x
