Is it physically possible for a Mosquito to get inside a BioDome and fly around?

ColdCheese · 2013-01-29, 12:47 PM

I'm asking this rhetorically, because during 2xp weekend I blew one up with my missle launcher that was flying around inside and was wondering if this was a hacker or what?

Totally possible. I've seen people do it with Scythes at least. Not sure about Reavers, they might be too fat.

It's possible with all ESF.

ColdCheese · 2013-01-29, 01:01 PM

ok good to know. It was actually quite hilarious at the time, I had to rub my eyes before pulling out my launcher and blowing it up, I almost felt bad because it was such a sublime sight seeing it fly around in circles up there

wonder if 2 hovering esf's with anti infantry pods on either sides of the entrance would make a viable defense strategy against an attack, would make one hell of a youtube video thats for sure

I doubt it, since they'd run out of ammo really quickly, plus have no room to maneuver so they'd be pretty easy to deal with via a single rocket.

The old Shark in a Fishbowl trick.

Not really as effective as it sounds, you have no way of getting ammo for your aircraft in there, and good luck surviving for any length of time once there is a substantial number of enemies in there.

Oh, and from what i've seen from people doing it, it takes a little time to even get it in. So it's not really something you can do quickly.

Wouldn't mind seeing video of this - not dinging yourself on the ceiling and pillar constantly sounds like an impressive feat. Unless I'm underestimating the volume in there, I guess. It sure looks small from the outside . . .

Just takes persistence. It also helps if there is not a battle going on there.

Iv gotten a reaver in a bio-lab. Took about 5 minutes to do so and it kept sticking to the ground and walls. Never got in flying around the lab due to time, but it's doable like in the video above me

Takes me 10 seconds to get my reaver in. Not that it does much good in there.

It almost looks like the devs designed the opening to allow this to purposely happen, which is really cool. I dunno why, but sometimes its the little stuff like this that really takes a game to the next level for me, not that PS2 needed it or anything, but kudos to the dev team for not making a little pole or barrier to prevent this from happening. Blowing up my first ESF inside a BioDome is a video game moment I'll most likely never forget :P

Lol, after watching that video there ofthat guy getting his reaver in the lab, my question is what fatal flaw in defenses allowed the thing the time to get in? Dang...

Next up we have "Lightning in a spawn building"? no?

Say the word and I can show you MBTs, lightings, flashes, and maybe a sundy inside a bio-lab. At the very least on the landing pads. All I'll need is time to do this and people willing to try "things".

The hardest part is getting vehicles on top of a Gal and them not falling off. A bio-lab with cliffs nearby should do nicely. Maybe Amerish has the one Im trying to think of.

Onatha have that. But you can also do it in any warpagte too if you have a gal pilot that knows how to park on the nose.
