I think it would be great with some kind of garage where u could put an ant in, and whenever the base needs energy it will power up from that ant, thoose couldent b destroyed by weapons, only by hacking from inside the base. Mayb 4 an expansion.

Obvously we won't be perfect at it from the start, but we'll get more regular practice at it than any other outfit who does it only when absolutley necessary.

We'll prob also try our hands at other support roles in the game but we're just focusing on ANT runs for now.

If this sounds like the kind of thing you'd like to help out in, then join us [click here]
Cheers to BOA, for taking that kind of role.

Having ANTs also pushes the battles out from just the bases, too:

1. If the ANTs are being moved in overland, then you might want to search them out and get them before they make it to the base. Of course, this might make transporting ANTs an armored column affair, leading to good battles.

2. If Galaxies are being used to transport these things, they become high-priority targets. everyone will be shooting these down.

So having supply lines adds more to the game than an ever-powered generator.

I think having the ANT's is a great addition. It add's to the gameplay.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but i think it was a good idea.

This was discussed, but not confirmed. We're not even sure how bad the explosion of the ANT will be unitl the game/beta comes out.

Deliberate spam with the stated intention of raising your postcount...

That's the way to get on the good side of the mods!

To the subject at hand, ANTs are a good thing, for all sorts of reasons, most of which have already been mentioned.

Even though I have not played the game, I can easily see how it works well. If a team is defending a base with dozens of troops, it will take an army of greater size or skill to overcome that. So, when the enemy has a base camped, simply cut off its supply route and voila! That base no longer belongs to them, allowing your squad with the help of a nearby AMS to siege the area.

One idea, I think it would be a blast to round up some buddies and have a huge ANT run, like 30 side-by-side ANT crap mobiles plowing through a field and refueling bases, awesome!

No one answered this question so i feel i must........

First, are jumbo jets in real life faster than cars? Yes. Are galaxy's faster than buggies? Yes. Oh wait, ae they faster than ANTs then? HELL YEA!!!! I mean, remembevr the ANT is like a truck. And even knowing that the galaxy is the slower most of the air, it got less pull pulling it than the vehicles do on the ground.

And defending a convoy is much better than defending a base....atleast funner....
