For all those Airborne

[DarkDragon00]

Terran Elite Airborne Regiment

For all those who plan on going airborne plz feel free to post on the types of planes you would like to see. Here are a couple of mine.

1. A bomber- Attack runs would be so sweet in these.
2. A V-class DropShip- A dropship meant for vehicles, only they can get in.
3. Supiority Fighter- Missles and stuff
4.Gunner Ship- A ship designed to destroy light vehicles and infantry. Full of gun mounts. Flys low, flys fast.


[TEAR]Dark- I wanna bomb, i wanna run, i wanna cry, when the shelters full, cuz they say F U, no more room for you. * * => BOOM!

Devs have stated that they don't want spam(read bomber), want to make large tanks hard to bring to bear(V-class), and want most of the fighting to be ground based(supiriority fighter).

The Reaver is designed to take out vehicles, but the multipule guner's positions sounds like a good idea.

i want to see a leaonardo da vinchi airplane

[Aryeh]

I actually would like a plane that just had a bunch of bottom mounted chainguns. That'd rule for mowing down infantry (even though that's what I'll be ).

[BCR]

I for one, would like to see a tap dancing moose that can sing "We are the Champions" backwards. But it ain't gonna happen.

Was that a little too cynical?

[TheGreatCarbini]

Dancing moose... man... how are you NOT a millionair yet with ideas like that?

I just don't want it to be like boating.

They have explained multiple times that they wanted to have a way for players with less "player skills" to be able to enjoy the combat aspect of the game, and piloting seemed like a good place to put it in. Please read the official update forum here and look at this thread and note there will be other ways to test your 1337 skills with flying.

I'm fine with all the vehicles they are offering man, how could you ask for more!!!!!

1. A bomber would mean the dreaded spam bombing, i can see why it isn't there.

2. A v-class dropship? well, the galaxy can carry a vehicle, but one specifically for vehicles would either be pointless or insanely advantagous. For balancing issues you would either only carry one, therefore not much better than the galaxy (in which you can also carry people) or multiple in which case transporting an army would be a lil too easy.

3. A Superiority fighter would produce a core dogfighting crowd, but I think most of us want to concentrate on the ground combat, with air support and transport.

4. Gun ship. Well, the galaxy has the gun emplacements and the reaver is pretty anti-vehicular from what I gather.

Booooooooooo.
I don't see how making the flight engine suck will mean that people will enjoy combat more.

This is supposed to be a skill based game, not a game that is accomadating for carebears. SOE has SWG to take care of all the carebear needs.

Just cause I can fly behind objects does not mean the filght system enjoyable. If flying is not fun, I am not going be demonstrating any manuvers at all.

Down with the boating.

[Deadlock]

i would like to see an airbase type plane. something big and slow with lots of gun and roket turrets who's main purpose is to esscort galaxys. it wouldnt be very good at attacking ground forces, so it wouldnt throw things out of balence. just good for deffense and that way u aint gota cirlce the damn galaxy all day with ur reavers and skeeters caues the freakin things so slow.

[KeviN]

They need to have basic controls (boating) and then advanced controls (something mroe along the lines of an actual flight sim) That would work for newbs and pros.

[Snake13]

no they just need to make controls about as complex as BF1942, boating is stupid and no fun
