Naval Warfare


It just came across me, if the game had a concept of naval warfare, something like:

A small Frigate, NEEDS 3 people to operate it, 1 pilot, one engineer and one gunner, the frigate has a aft and front machine gun and maybe a missible launcher that can launch an attack deep inland.

And maybe, ust maybe, an Aircraft carrier.

At the moment Oceans are really just a off limits zone, but if they were used it could have big potential, of course this would = lag and more bandwith being used...

Also, I was thinking, what about if you have Howitzers as an add on, two crew, driver and gunner, then use some sort of equipement to aim at far away targets, etc


What you guys think, and does PS staff check these forums?

Why use boats when you can use the HART to drop into continets?

Howitzers are an ok concept, but impractical with walking Howitzers and tanks that can do the job.

I know you can use HART, I don't mean as transportation, I mean as a weapon, not really adding anything besides another combat scenario, ship vs ship, etc

That would negate the use of the warpgates then. No need to battle for control of the water when you don't need it.

I guess, well they could add islands and bases in the middle of the seal, etc

Variety is the spice of life...

A bit too much to ask though

I haven't heard a definite no on the naval question yet, so try to cut him a little slack?

Well why have a Galaxy or Sunderer when u can use a HART, its just a different tactical approach to attacking, so if transports were put in, I dont see what would be wrong with them.

Heres my thoughts, if naval were to come, a BIG if, but maybe they make aquatic bases to have a point?

Because at least with a Galaxy or Sunderer you can use them on continent. Launch from HART, hack an enemy vehicle station, take off in the Galaxy and meet up with squadmates at the warpgate.
