MAX for defense only

[MiniOrca]

have been recently looking up on MAX's and noticed that they cannot be spawned at an AMS. If this is the case wont they be used mostly for base defense. If someone can please expand on the role of MAX's a little i would appreciate it. Becuase walking for a half hour to find a small fire-fight would not be worth anyones time.

If im not mistaken, You can be transported There by a vehical? Or even flown down in one of those HART thingie me b0bbles :P


But i don't know, i'm just a stupid fool...Maybe someone can Make a better description then me. :P

i have no idea what your saying there

but lets face facts, everytime you enter game theres not gonna be a galaxy waiting for a MAX, no matter how popular this game is

[MushuuTerra]

Yes, Thats right. Im astupid fool..ill shut the ...hell up before Someone comes in and flames my ass for being a 'Newb'

[Agent]

Thats why you get a squad together and find someone to keep transporting you. If maxes could be respawned from AMSs over and over again it might become a little overpowering. A MAX is a special thing so expect it to require special needs (lol)

one word

OUTFIT

[MiniOrca]

anyone who flames someone for being a newb has to be a newb themselves, i just had no idea what the hell you were saying :P

[Tricky]

I bet your best answer to that is to make good use of the HART transport and towers. I actually like the fact that they made it like this. I dont want to be sitting in a Depot and having to kill the same MAX's over and over. I'd probably run out of ammo/health/will to live before they would stop comin at me.

tis' Late and i have no coffee, what do thee expect!

Being a newbie isn't a matter of experience, it is a state of mind.

Anyway, I can easily see MAX armors being primarily for defense, since they will be difficult to get to the fight on the offensive side...yes, you can be in a regular squad or an outfit, but how often are the pilots going to fly all the way back to wherever you respawn just to pick you up? If you die 4-5 times in a base capture, I'd get really tired of hauling your ass around, no matter how well I knew you. However, I predict that MAXs (AV in particular) will be important for base capture, if for no other reason than to counter the MAXs which the defense will have in force.

As for MAXes well you can use their sprint mode to get to a battle. (about as fast as a tank if i remember correctly)

Or you can hop on a Galaxy or Sunderer.

I always forget about the MAXs. Sicne I'm making my "Assistant Recon" Class as I call it, where its both buggys, the basilsk, and then medic/egineer/repair/light hacking. And any wepaons with extra points.

That was I can get where i need to be and fix things and people fast.

I always forget about those silly MAXs, I know plenty of people are going to use them, but I'm sure they will be on both sides, offence and defence. I just hope i don't foget about them right before one guns me down...

[MiniOrca]

pardon me for now being the newb, but what is a HART transport?

Drop pods, they fall out of the sky anywhere you tell them to, dropping you anywhere except in an enemy sphere of influence. And they can carry MAX suits. But don't forget, MAX suits have travel mode, where they can run fairly fast.
