Question:
Are there Empire-Specific Implants? If so, what are some TR Implants?
Answer:
not currently. Our new implant system is pretty slick. I think you guys will like it, but, it's nothing like ps1


Question:
Will ESVs(empire specific vehicles) be limited to 2 vehicles per faction?
Answer:
Yup, 2 per faction is the current plan.

Question:
How many seats will the Prowler have?
Answer:
2

Question:
Will Heavy Assault weapons be limited to Rexo, or the PS2 equivalent heavier armor?
Answer:
yes, limited to the PS2 equivalent

Question:
Is the Mosquito shown in this weeks comm-link photo relatively similar to most other variants, or is it a lot longer?

Answer:
Mosquito is the longest, but not by much. I would say they are relatively similar.
All Light Aircraft (Mosquito, Reaver, Scythe) will be similar in size, but they'll look completely different.

Question:
Does the Mosquito have a dual seat variant?
Answer:
Mosquito has 1 seat. No dual seat variant.

Question:
What choices for Max modes (overdrive, lockdown) will TR maxes have?
Answer:
charge, lockdown, and possibly 1 more

Question:
Will there be tank mounted flamethrowers?
Answer:
We'll see, but the max will
flamethrowers are an alternate weapon for the max

Question:
The Prowler has been called a 'Medium Battle Tank', will there be a larger tanks available? Any details on them?
Answer:
It has definitely been discussed, only time will tell. :P

Question:
Is the lightning in game/development?
Answer:
Yes, lightning is in. It will be a little different due to the MBT driver is gunner change.

Question:
Will TR MAXes have similar weapons to what they had in PS1? (Pounder and Burster)
Answer:
Much Better!

Question:
Will we see the return of the TR 4x4 Marauder, some new buggy or as I hope something in between?
Answer:
We want to do a buggy or empire specific buggies, but it will be after launch.

Question:
What are the current alternate weapons for the Mosquito?
Answer:
Classic rocket pods or Air 2 Air Missles. Don't worry, it won't be like the wasp.

Question:
Will the classes be the same across all three empires or will the TR have an empire specific class?
Answer:
classes are the same on each empire

Discuss!

The lib being a gunship now sounds awesome imo. Would love get an idea of what it can do

[basti]

And apperently, there are Flamethrowers on maxes. And they want to do buggys, but thats stuff for after release.

Discuss!

We also know that SOE:SD is probably a Bio lab.

I actually hope that flamethrowers are a TR MAX exclusive. That would really exemplify the TR's combat philosophy of "overwhelm your opponents with unrelenting force." And I hope that there are NO common-pool MAX weapons!

This was the best Twitter Q&A yet! I can't imagine how exciting it will be when they do one for the Vanu!

I will add that the Flamethrower was originally the New Conglomerate Heavy assault weapon.

Oh, right, remembering that. And if i remember correctly, the JH replaced the flamer because of issues with performance and stuff, or whatever.

Anyway, i didnt went into rage mode after the chat, so its all good. Quite some interresting stuff, want to see how the lib plays now. I would assume that the Mossy/reaver/scyte in PS2 is a potential Mossy/wasp/light gunship mix in PS1 terms, and the Lib is now the Heavy gunship. Wait and see i guess, again.

Maxes confirmed for even more annoying than in PS1.

[Xyntech]

TR MAXes confirmed for having the abilites:

charge, lockdown, and possibly 1 more

Wtf is charge? Is it like overdrive? Is it like a run mode where you can bash through a bunch of enemies? (Chaaaaaarge!)

Nah, i guess its more complex this time around. Charge really sounds like pushing through a bloddy wall of enemys. Fits the TR. :>

That would be cool. Give the TR MAXes a more offensive ability to compliment the defensive lockdown ability.

I hope that all three empires MAXes get at least one major offensive and one major defensive ability.

Charge probably increases movement speed? Maybe let's you fire while in run mode.... Gah. Curse you SOE for faking a power outage. Until I have proof they faked because they weren't ready to release Lib info.

MODES not abilities. So charge is just "run mode" I imagine. The extra mode might be a submarine or jumpjet option. Could rock.

[Mastachief]

That was an interesting read, with the prowler being faster in terms of speed and rate of fire and now 2man to run it..... the vanguard better pack one hell of a punch.
