Question on Vanu Max

MushuuTerra · 2003-04-10, 05:46 PM

Ok, First of all...I was condsidering being a Reaver pilot...But I been thinking Lately about the Vanu MAx

Now, Im not usually Into Heavy armor and big weapons, More stealthy stuff but...Im thinking of trying it out;

how SLOW is it? unbearably slow that i will Commit suicide or ...What?

The ..Whats Jumpjets on the Vanu max...I they actually any good? If anyone knows, whats the aproximate time you can be capable of flying/hovering Whatever...

The Weapons, Starfire Quaser and Comet...

Will i only be able to use 1 of these...Or can i dump them all in my inventory (if i have the space)

Download the official trailers.

See MAX's move there and a VS MAX using its boosters.

maxes have no inventory first of all, and second the vanu max is very slow, and third the max can only have 1 of those weapons at once.

It's fairly quick, and it's jumpjets can get you decent airtime, but once in the air you can't change direction.

Watch the trailer at the official site, it's on the main page just down a little bit. It shows a vanu max using the jump jets.

The MAX weapons are attached to the armor, this means if you want to switch weapons, you must certify in that type of MAX, AI/AA/AV, then switch armors at an equipment terminal.

All that stuff about speed and jumpjets are under the NDA.
But, all MAXs have a 'run' ability, where they build up speed gradually until they are traveling at about the same speed as a tank. While in this mode, the MAX cannot fire its weapon, and its ability to turn is greatly reduced.

I would guess, though, that the VS MAX is the fastest MAX out of them all, since that's about its only advantage.

Jumpjets? No clue.

While the trailer does show it... we'll only be able to give accurate answers when Open Beta starts and the NDA is lifted.

By the way, since everything is still under the NDA, no one can be certain of anything, since everything is being tweeked constantly.

Edit: Dang it Zar.

You people need to stop saying that nda is lifted when open beta starts. It's not being lifted, hamma has said this many times.

It's been said multiple times that Max's will able to carry ammo and suplies for the other soldiers because of its pretty big inventory.
