Oh come on, Rarity is white. The mane doesn't count.

I'm excited to see all this shiny stuff ingame! I will wait until then to cry foul

Btw, the NC should totally have a tri-barreled gauss as their "chaingun variant" with a secondary triple-burst that instagibs up to 50m

I'm liking this idea.

Vanu generally arn't manly enough to have a pony avatar. (But pinky is the best anyway)

As for NC HA, the 'spike gun' from fear IMO (a Guass cannon basically).

We're giving NC a tri-barrel air-cooled Velociraptor launcher. Fires 200 velociraptors per minute.

So it will be on par with the Jackhammer

Except that if you miss the velociraptors will chase your target down, ambushing when least expected. They're trained to hunt red and purple.

I didn’t think of that. Perhaps the Jackhammer should receive one final buff before the end?

I think you have just swayed me to play NC.

Good we're on the same page.

NC get velociraptors? That cool, TR have dragons, what now biyatch!?

edit: btw, our dragons turn Esamir and Ceryshen into deserts, see all that melted snow?

See, that would be funny, if I wasn't Vanu playing handicapped for the last 2 years.

Canaris · 2011-09-12, 05:25 PM

I'd prefer something that involves peace doves with napalm, that's the Terran way

Vanu is so handicapped with the best MBT, ESAV, and maxes (other than Scatter). Yup. So gimped.

Do not underestimate the value of one-shotting infantry with your main cannon. Vanu cannot. TR and NC can.

Don't get me wrong, hovering over water is awesome. An accurate cannon with no arc is Very Nice. The DPS is a bit lacking though.

I've run all three tanks, though I'm the least experienced with the Prowler. I'd say they're fairly well balanced.
