God I hope so! The maurader is my favorite vehicle in the game! I love how it drives even more than the pounder attached to it!

about hitting a moving target when your moving fast...well i had no problem with the magrider doing this. The flaks will have just as fast projectile speed and higher fire rate and greater angle to shoot than the mag.

I would take this vehicle out with reavers cannons if i wanted to go toe to toe with it, rockets are just too slow. Cannons at longer ranges should do it. Still going to be tough to take out when gunner knows your there and driver is moving

If it can take out on avg, 2 reavers/bombers b4 it dies, when they go toe to toe 1-1, I will be happy.

Right now, the AA maxs cant, the reaver wins in a 1-1 if you are semi close and fire at the same time (at least its true for the NC AA one, havnt tried the others on the field)


I see this as being the same as a harassor with an alt fire or the TR max's AA guns on it.

I dont think that that will cut it.....

Oh well, I have faith in the people at SOE, im sure that they will get things worked out

All I have to say is that RoF on that flak cannon better be pretty darn good, or the reavers (and soon... libs) will still be pwing. I can't believe they are giving a 35mm cannon to the lib and yet the Skeeter still has that slingshot with a fan attached to it for a weapon.

I bet they have more armor then a regular buggy. Those things are so weak, you get hit once your done for.

Rofl, re-enforced. Thats funny.

So....why would anyone get the harraser again? Or when they implement this will it just replace the harraser? Wonder if it has REINFORCED *cough*Hamma*cough* bumpers for magrider like ramming ability.

Despite the blurb about having to lay down in it, those pics make the driver seat seem open. Im gonna hope for the best and assume that reinforced armor can drive it.

If thats true this thing will likely see alot of use. With the speed and anti air capability I can very easily see teams of reinforced armor players patrolling the area with empire buggies and Skyguards.

One of the main problems with making vehicle specific squads was the dread of a reaver or 2 coming in and missle'ing the hell out of you before people hopped out and tried shooting the damn thing down. With this, im hoping vehicle convoys, patrols, and raids will be much more useful.

Looks like im gonna have to start packing a deliverer more often.

Hmmm, as soon as theese vehichles come out, I am making a pilot/driver character. I know I'll get a liberator, pretty sure I'll get a lodestar, but this thing is going to have to prove to me it isn't going to suck like most of the other buggies. Glad they used flak and not missles and glad it only takes 2 people. It is so hard to get 2 people that know what they are doing ot gun for you. Looks real cool though.

On the post about the 12mm gun making it a "super-buggy", look at it this way:

The Harrasser's gun is a 3-barreled machinegun, so it will still have a signifigantly higher ROF than the Skygaurd, while still doing the same damage-per-round.

Also, the Harrasser and Skygaurd will likely have simmilar menuverability and speed because the Skygaurd has a much heavier loadout, but probably sacrifices armor.

BTW, those flack-cannons look a hell of a lot more powerful than the ones mounted on the TR AA MAX.

Damn well better be.

4x the damage, 4x the speed(anchored) (know it wont be that high, but I can dream cant I?)



Fucking Reavers. Wouldnt hurt me a bit if they nerfed the cheesy things into uselessness.
