[�io]

I'm the only Dragoon for the VS.

[Sandtaco]

Dragoon... wtf?

[Zarparchior]

I'm actually writing a book about them. I'll probably never be famous because of it, but I've gotsta try.

My definition of a Dragoon is probably much different than a typical person's... or maybe not. Who knows?

[Hamma]

easy now

btw the lightning is a 1 man tank

[BLuE_ZeRO]

What exactly is a dragoon?

[Zatrais]

the lightning may be a tank but it's still a tank...

it's one person driven, fast, from the looks of some vids agile, has a nice array of weapons (a cannon and a chain gun) and it can be airlifted, sure it's not heavily armored but mobility is one of the most important attributes in war. If you can't get there in time, then whats the point of driving a heavy tank? hehe

sounds like a pretty nice weapon to me overall, espescially in numbers...

[Hamma]

Its a fun little tank, it definatly lives up to its name as well.

I'm guessing the Lightening will be the preffered vehicle for vehicular homicide... running people over.

Fast, tough, relatively manuverable.

The buggies and quads leave the driver exposed, they can be shot, particularly with the quads. Not so with the lightening. It would suck to get killed by your would-be target.

Of course the Lightening is also well armed enough that it may never actually need to run anyone over. 75mm of goodness.

I predict that a full squad of Lightenings will be a relatively common occurance. It sounds like just the thing to seek out and destroy clusters of drop pods, or a galaxy's landing site.

I also wouldn't be suprised to find that a lightening cert will be a pre-req to the empire-specific tanks, so certs will be relatively common.

Tanks rock.

A lightening cert will probably be the first thing I shoot for... though the Reaver sounds like a good time too.

Hey hamma, can you make a forum for people to spam so they can be a general in 2 day

[BLuE_ZeRO]

that's what the lounge is for

[Delos]

I see the lightning being a good escort for larger tanks, or get a large group of them and you could cause some heavy damage.

B.T.W., how many posts do you need to get a avatar as your sig?

[Hamma]

If you become a general in 2 days you would need 900+ posts in 2 days.

For that I would ban you.

Well I guess I have to put that uber forum spamming software away *SIGH*
