Skyguard (AA buggy) [Merged]

[TekDragon]

Will this thing be common pool? Since the devs have shown that they intend to introduce more and more air units I think it would be acceptable to make the effort of putting empire specific AA buggies in the game.

Also im hoping they are:

1. Fast. They need to be able to make a good effort into chasing a reaver. Also they need to be fast enough to escape enemy buggies and tanks.
2. Some ground attack ability. Even a 12mm or 20mm machine gun would be fine.
3. Small size or camoflauge. Reaver pilots (well, most of them) aint stupid. If the buggies stand out like a muslim in an airport then the crew aint gonna get many kills.

Pretty sure it will be common pool.

Yea, thats prolly what will happen. I would like to see some sort of flak weapon. Quad barrelled for that extra little comfort. I mean if a Reaver pilot saw that they would be getting out of there fast. I would also like to see it be a flak weapon because it is easier to surprise pilots with it. Missile locks seem to just scare reavers away, where as conventional flak gets them killed.

I'd raher have some empire specific Aircraft first, but then people would bitch about balance, have you guys seen the official forums lately?

The quantity of bitching and dev bashing there is unbelievable.

TR gets a nuke dropping stealth plane that flies 1,000 MPH, and unlimited ammo
NC get a shotgun with a fan attached to it
VS get a Sopwith camel that will drop earwax bombs (apparently it's really sticky, well kinda)

That is the exact reason i read these boards.

Generally, when people on this board get thier ass handed to them they come here to discuss ways they can improve their play... people go the offical boards to bitch and moan till game is molded to their playstyle.

People on the offical boards tend to think every time they get killed it's because game sucks. Not the reality that it was their own lack of skill (or the superior skill of their foe).

Where to begin to explain the ignorance of this comment... just how does a Muslim look? Do you think all Muslims are of arabic descent?

Political correctness is the root of all evil.

Too Right.

I'll call anybody or anything what I want. I don't change my speech to please other people.

If that bothers anyone, my rear end is awaiting your kiss.
