About the Vanu MAX

[Zatrais]

Annyone else looked at the name of the jpg image of the armor on the official site? it says VS_male_heavy.jpg, notice the male part.... does that mean theres a female variant aswell or? *shrug* hope so =)

I would say VERY most likely yes seeing as how females have different armors for every other class. I would imagine the female MAXs are a bit smaller and sleeker.

actually i'm pretty sure that the male and female MAXs have no differences.

take a look at NCs MAX and you will see that not only it is occupied by a woman, but it looks the same as the male models we've seen.

if there was a male/female MAX, they would have had a pic of both, since they did that for all the other armors.

i'm willing to bet its just like tribes.

That is a female NC MAX and I'm pretty sure that is what the Male looks like. The only difference I can see is the head being either male or female but other than that I'm not sure. I hope the female MAXes aren't too small or else it would be a bit unfair and everyone would be a female MAX.

EDIT - Afex beat me to it

Different MAXs would have been cool! Maybe they are hiding it from us as a surprise.

The Male/Female part of the file name proably denotes the sex of the occupant, not the suit.

jeeze this forum is full of 'masters of the obvious', lol (jkin)



gotta love that.... ROFL

[Zatrais]

what is the point of using the sex of the ocupant in an armor that is so far as we know unisex? seems kinda reduntant.....

[Zarparchior]

Well, I can see armor being different for the sexes , but MAXs? Methinks not. It wouldn't make logical sense for RP reasons or developing reasons. Why? The answer to both is more work.

just b/c the armor doesn't have alternate versions for which sex you are doesn't change the fact that the person inside it isn't asexual

?!

You mean we don't lose our gender once we enter a MAX?! When were the devs gonna let us know?

[Zatrais]

you guys do realise that i was refering to the use of male in the naming of the picure and not the ocupant of the suit...

why call it vanu male max or whatever it was when it looks the same on females unless theres a female suit aswell


english isn't my mother tongue so i'm not sure if you're using sarcasm or what not...

consistency

[Zarparchior]

Chances are they had a different picture with a female/male body in teh MAX. While the character model is the same for teh MAXs, teh head of the character is still displayed as a female/male.

Just your head is visible in the max, i think its the same for both sexes
