Ummm the NC MAX can use the shield implant too and activate it when the energy on the special ability energy runs out and then use the implant while the special ability energy recharges and so on and so forth so you can eat me.

NC OWNS YOU!

Ah, yes. The reason I don't ever touch the official forums, except to leave a present.

Now imagine what would happen if those people came here...

Sputty · 2003-02-09, 07:49 AM

They are too. Slowly. Alot came on after the shoutcast and we could tell. /me shudders. I just hope they're able to be controlled by Hamma and Marsman..If not...

PSU homeland security has raised the threat level to orange for the week due to increased risk of trolls. If you see any suspicious activity you are urged to contact the mods.

Ludio; lol, thats good =P

And I think that the maxe's will all be something to have a bit of fear of... Sure, the NC max may not have a jump, or have a faster fire mode, but if I can have 2X or 3X the shield life, who needs em? ( Charge into battle using 1 shield, switch to the other shield, let the 1 u just used recover, switch again, and have caused MAJOR dmg b4 they can be taken out. (rotating shields is a very very cool thing, you charge 1 when the other is on, so faster time to get both shields again) They have huge guns, and good health already. You don�t want something with huge guns (esp short range guns) to be able to take several shots at you. I would rather be invincible for a long time, than jump, or fire faster thanks =P

Also, you dont need an implant to have shields! You can have some of the others as well!) =P

here is another plan too, use them as shock troops, line them all up in front of your troops, turn their shields on, and walk right up to the enemy base when the only thing they can hit is the only thing that cant be hurt... Also, what if you Para-drop them in? you cant hurt them coming done, or for a bit running around. I don�t care how good a shot you are, or what gun you have. If you cant hurt it, and it can hurt you, you get hurt. I can see a set of TR max dig in and fire, only to see that they are doing nothing lol, or a set of vanu ones jump over the walls onto a set of nc ones that dont even get their paint scratched fighting them =P

Oh ya, this game will be soooo sweet.....

an important thing to remember is the nc max can use a shield implant too. so heres the senerio...
tr max turns on shield and so does nc max.
tr max's shield runs out and so does nc max.
tr max plants down and blasts away at nc max BUT!!!
nc max turns on other shield, is imortal in the eyes of the tr max
then procedes to blow the crap out of the tr max

Deadlock, let me guess, you are going NC.

There are sooo many variables, you cannot say that 1 unit will win over the other with the reasons you've come up with. It's going to be a shock to your systems when your godly units all of a sudden die within a few seconds of being on the battlefield.

Deadlock · 2003-02-09, 01:17 PM

i understand that no empire has god like vehicles... i was just pointing out a senerio to show how the nc max is not at a disadvantage... i only picked tr to mess with cause thats what jaged's gun ho about

Every Max will be sure death in its own right =)

I see the Vanu max as being the king of turret hit and run/ surprise/ infiltration. They have mobility on their side, and are still very tough. Jumping into bases can cause a lot of problems.

The TR one looks like the best one for slow and steady advances through the field (dig in, shoot stuff, move, repeat) ((esp if you have 1/2 move when 1/2 fire, and go up in alternating lines, that could be vary hard to stop))

I see the NC max as being the one that runs into battle head on. The shields (at least how I see them) are more about getting up close where the NC have the better firepower. Shotguns are death up close, and the shields will let you get there to use them. I see them as being good fore breaking their line, and as shock troops.

The Max�s will be death. I do not see any of them being truly superior over 1 another.

MOLOCH'S MAX PHILOSOPHY:
Moloch see max
MAX see moloch
see moloch run
RUN Moloch RUN!
See moloch quivering under bed
see max step on puppy

Spoken wisely. I knew there was something I liked about you Vulcan. Now I know.

The question I want to know is, Where's the proof that the shield inplant can be used while in a MAX suit? That's the whole thing about the NC max having a shield is because of the low rof, the TR have that anchor ability, and the VS have the jumpjets. Now if all the suits could use the implant shield then what the hell is so special about the NC max having a shield? I would like to see the proof that you can use the shield implants while using a max. If some one could link me to some "actual" proof from the devs I would greatly appreciate it.

SJ said that MAXes could use zoom implants here http://www.planetside-universe.com/f...&threadid=2461 but nthing about shields I think but it's being assumed they can

Zatrais · 2003-02-09, 02:47 PM

SJ said (during the dec chat) that the only implant a MAX couldn't use was the melee booster, since well there is no melee for MAX's hehe.

MrVulcan · 2003-02-09, 02:49 PM

thay said you could use shield implants in the last interview... ill try and find it, and post a quote for you guys =)

Moloch: lol, good one
