Arrow Best MAX Special Ability


I was wondering wich empire you guys thought had the best MAX specail ability.
Personaly, I like the VS jumpjets the best, with the TR anchor following up close behind.
Please post your reasons for why you like it and even some tips for using it if you like.

That was what I had always heard, so when I started to make a MAX character, I picked TR. Now that I have played all, I find that I only use the anchor ability when the target is unexpecting or stationary, or when in the CC. The jumpjets, however, I use everytime they are available. Oh well, to each his own.

Jumpjets by far.
The anchors good and all but I hate sitting still
And although I'm all NC, I just hate their shield, just doesnt last long enough for me to care.

If it weren't for the damage incured during landing jumpjets would be my fav but since you take damage my pick is TR, then VS then NC. NC shield is more or less useful.

VS Jumpjets, easy.

I play TR most of the time and I rarely use the anchors in the middle of a big battle mainly because it makes you a very easy target for the Decimator. When I'm fighting another MAX with my DC's I'm usually strafing around them while firing, and 95% of the time, I win.

Yer, most of the time anchors just aren't useful/practical, but when ur anticipating a big attack, lock down and let rip

TR maxes locked down in a cc or on stairs are a sonofabitch but other than that I think lock downs make them an easy target. So many times I see VS maxes float over a wall and wish I could do that.

Yeah, I just had that happen to me last night, in fact.

Still, a TR AA MAX anchored, can take down a bird pretty darned quick. I'm finding that useful given how filled the sky is nowadays.

Jump Jet's all the way-

Anchor rocks in big fights, just lock and zoom in, then unload

The NC shield is worthless. If it stayed up when you fired it wouldn't suck aaaaas much.

have you guys ever seen a group of NC maxs turn on their shield, run to your base, and walk up to you with full health

I love the shields, they are great for when an inf tries to go around you, or when you reload, or esp when you charge a base/tower

They are the supreme front line shock troops
(though I wouldnt mind seeing their shield helped some)

(but the others are very good as well, in different areas)
