what happened to aqua vehicles?

Super_Ryu7 · 2004-08-31, 10:41 AM

i remember before launch there was a interview with a dev and he was talking about how they were planning on eventually adding aqua vehicals like boats and stuff what happened to them. i think it would be cool to have bases in the ocean or be able to take a ship down the rivers (oh wait there arent any and if there is not enough to make notice of)

by "eventually" they usually mean within the next ten years. dont expect to see them soon.

true. they've been put off in favor of land vehicles which provide access to all the already-avaliable facilities, instead of creating an entirely new set of marine facilites

I would love some aquatic vehicles but alas...

Sporky has hinted a couple of times of a naval expansion.... and PS has still got some years left

The Battle Islands and BFR's are practically an expansion in itself. Not surprised though, they needed to do something that would get the bad taste that a lot of people had in thier mouths from Core Combat. My guess is, after they take a little reprieve from the recent work, they'll probally be working on either Naval or Space Expansion. With the Conts now seperated into planets...you can have naval and space warfare a little more easily.

/disagree

True, it would make it easier to have a space expansion, but it makes a naval expansion almost impossible, not counting the Battle islands

I'm thinking along the lines of some deep sea fishing...I mean fighting. After a certain point, vech's go link dead and you crash into the sea...instead how about poping up on the other side of map? Small Bases that are out beyond the view of land similar to oil rigs. Or even underwater bases....hmmmmm.....underwater vechicles....submarines...I'd probally recert a few things....

Why? Bring on the Waterworld!

How can we have water battles if our planets is in space and they're not even connected to 1 planet?

I'm guessing you've never seen the shorelines to your continents. Just because there's no longer a big fucking ocean to separate continents doesn't mean you still can't get wet.

Raige · 2004-08-31, 05:28 PM

Well... the main reason we'd want aqua shits to fucking float to another continent.

Who the fuck fights on the shorelines anyway.... mostly only planes goes there for safely air battles. Deliverer, mags... whoopy fucking doo.... noobs rarely brings out armors. Then whats the point of having Aqua ? It wont even go into base.

Currently? Yes. Although there are islands that you can fly out to, on the coast. But if they add a naval expansion, hopefully there'd be subsurface bases and platform-type bases.

I've had plenty of shoreline battles. They're a great place to catch people who think they're safely driving somewhere. There are also plenty of coastal roads along almost every continent, if not all of them. Cyssor also has a huge river cutting through it, and Amerish and Hossin have a few wet locations where there are bases very close to the water.

Look at extinction...There are rivers and ramps to land from rivers everywhere
Currently only mags threshers and delis can go on them ... Chew on that NC and TR!
