See the bottom center? Mosquitos have afterburners.

I don't believe this has ever been noted, or seen before, so I am pointing it out.

OFN. Afterburners have existed since the start almost. I remember reading about it in Nov.

Aye, I am not sure but I think all aircraft might have them, but yes your right skeeters do have them for sure.

I for one have never seen or heard of this, and theres not much in this game i dont know about.

So, if aircraft have afterburners, do ground vechs get some sort of boost? Id assume not, but could be fun anyway.

that would only be good if you were going to fool around

i think just the skeeters have the boost option. i think thats their added bonus for being so week... speakin of armor, the one in that picture is screwed royally up the a$$

I just skimmed that thread, totally missed that. Obviously so did a few other people since they responded to this one

All aircraft look like they have afterburners... check out the screens of external views of a Galaxy at the bottom (like this one: http://www.planetside-universe.com/m...php?img_id=464 ). Am I wrong?

[edit: oops, I meant to link to the previous screen]

That's a Reaver....

Changed the link. =)

Well, i missed out. i started following planetside in mid december, so i must have missed this. so, heres what i've gathered:
Afterburn is a feature on aircraft and functions as a turboboost of sorts.
thats about it. anyone care to correct me?

XeeN · 2003-03-10, 10:03 PM

I'm pretty sure you are correct, Sando.

I don't think it will work exactly like the Tribes 2 version of afterburner, but probably very close to it. I think that in PS shield and afterburner energy will be separate.

All air vehicles have afterburners. Always have
