It would be dangerous..

I was thinking about hacking into vehicles, and realized it might be unwise to drive up to your base to brag. If I was walking around and noticed an enemy tank approaching I would open fire. If my memory serves me correctly, you can't tell who is in a vehicle unless you have a certain implant, but I could be wrong. Is there going to be someway to know a friendly is in the tank?

Vehicles change color as soon as they are hacked, also they will be on your radar and if they shot once they would realize they are getting grief points so they would stop.

that's what I figured. That's too bad, because it would make an interesting way to get into enemy bases undetected.

The best way to get into an enemy's base undetected is the 6 person infl. suit drop, tight ass Infiltration method.

Naw, sabotage, have one computer onthe other team set up an AMS right in the middle of a base courtyard, drop a ghost in there and hack it, BOOM instant infilitration, like nydus canals in SC.

Oh yeah I came up with a new slang:

Infiltration suit = Ghost

Anyone like?

Fire_Monkey · 2003-02-20, 10:27 PM

Yup good idea. Ghost...like starcraft.

Fire_Monkey · 2003-02-20, 10:29 PM

woohoo I'm an Admiral.. Celebrate

NeoTassadar · 2003-02-20, 10:31 PM

Anyone within twenty meters is supposed to be able to see an AMS pretty easily, but hey, it's still a respawn point, however huge a target (better than nothing).

Nightmare · 2003-02-20, 10:32 PM

congrats. It should be interesting to see how these plans work out in the field. Argh, I wish this game would get out sooner!!

Saint · 2003-02-20, 10:34 PM

I think I should be hitting admiral pretty soon, I tried to dig up that PS slang post and take a look at it, I was thinking about starting a new one, but we'll see. I am kinda lazy right now.

SilentCacophony · 2003-02-20, 10:44 PM

Damn, how flipping long does it take to move up. I feel like I've been a recruit forever. I'm just a lowly maggot. I'll never get any assignments above a qalaxy/ANT kamakazi mission.

225 makes ya a commander, 500 for admiral, 800 i think for general, and finally, 1000 for l33t whore

mistled · 2003-02-20, 11:08 PM

General is 900... it's weird, I know.

Saint · 2003-02-20, 11:17 PM

Silent it takes 20 to make your own avatar under your name and it takes 50 to get to the first rank, Soldier. If you don't spam 50 posts takes a while, unless you flame on every single post.

Fire_Monkey · 2003-02-20, 11:30 PM

Is General new? never seen it before. only recently on Hoss. they should make you l33t whores become l33t rapists or something
