Unusual / Unforeseen uses of vehicles and equipment

If the Galxy couldopen it's doors, then it would be like the Havok in T2...omg,imagine a galaxy flying around with 6 vanu maxes firing in all directions...

[Fire_Monkey]

The Galaxy carries only 2 MAXes and no. you cannot open the doors while in flight.

There was alrerady a thread just like this one, galaxies cannot open doors during flight, you cannot wing walk or it will be very difficult, and even if you were gonna open the doors, 6 terran maxes would do the job much better.

you also can't get vehicles inside a building

I really do belive that they should allow the G-class dropship(galaxy) to open its doors during flight. All those things that were mentioned do happen in real life so it should be in a game that want a sorta reality tactics feel. Now DEVS this thread right here is not things that you should patch (well maybe a couple of 'em) to get rid of the chance, because its all real strategy. Things that could happen, should be allowed to happen.

I think everyone understands that game balance is king, and something that might seem realistic and cool could easily offset that delicate balance that the developers are no doubt striving for.

Well,i didn't really check my post back there...
If the galaxy could open it's doors,then they would have to weaken the galaxy or something to balance it.
IF that would happen,then you could blow up a galaxy with a rock.

The galaxy already has enough defense with its 3 turrets. There's no need to have the back open.

ok, imagine you are riding in a galaxy when all of a sudden you come under attack by four rocket toting troops. you have three guns, and any more shots than the four that already hit you will be fatal to the DS and all it's occupants. wouldn't you want to put your l33t sniper skillz to the test and help save the dropship from an untimely demise? however, it would change the galaxy transport's role too much to make it able to open the doors mid-flight. in stead of being a troop transport, it becomes a flying artillery barrage with the added ability to deploy a light vehicle if it needs backup.

Maybe an additional pod on the bottom for 1 guy to snipe or shoot out of with any weapon?

I'm pretty sure that SJ said something about precision air drops and paratrooper tactics being viable in the shoutcast a while back.

[Spy]

I think a mid-air drop would add some interesting tactics to the game, but i also think it would be better if you had to land, so the drop ship couldn't just fly by and drop all these people off with no danger to it self really. I think the doors wont be able to open while in flight

[SandTrout]

You can't open the back and fire out, but you can bail out and fire in mid-air.
