Anyone think the whole ANT idea is stupid?

[Zylos]

anyone else think its stupid? who really wants to drive back and forth from the base getting energy for the base? I, for one, think this is a rather stupid idea IMO and think it should be taken out.

[Spider]

ok not to be mean now... but...

a) Don't question the all mighty dev's the concept owns

b) Before sigbot kicks in lose that ugly ass sig of your or shrink it

[Sando138]

ANTs make Seige tactics viable. without them, why bother seiging the enemy when they have unlimited gear and tanks?

[Smiley]

yeah, it prevents them from just pumping out uber amounts of vehicles because the vehicles require the energy that the ants transport. resource gathering in an fps, sounds like a crazy yet fantastic idea to me

[tmax]

thats a atrocious cut job on your sig pic zylos

[MrVulcan]

ANTs give another level to the game play, now you will have to have supply lines, thus escort them, attack them, protect them, break through sieges, perform sieges, and have a good portion of your forces rerouted just to let the front line troops keep fighting.

[Smiley]

tmax, i believe you took the words right out of my mouth lol

[Hunter83]

Let's not also forget that we haven't played the game yet(most of us) so we don't know how well the devs brought everything together.
I don't understand how u can be critical of something you have yet to experiance. You may end up liking driving the ANT's.

[BUGGER]

Woa wait. the ants dont support vehicle energy, its the warpgates that do. Those silos in the base are for the base only. Thats why you cant leave continents because once so far out the warpgates are too far and the vehicle just shuts down. Therefore your screwed.

But I think the ANT thing is kool, for once its the main place to get ambushed!

[Sando138]

true, the ANTs dont support vehicular energy, they support energy used to CREATE vehicles and quips.

[firecrackerNC]

But i beleve building a vehicle or whatever you do to get it takes up energy so does getting new equipment,so no ANT run for awhile means not enough energy to build tanks and get equipment ect

[BUGGER]

oh.....yea, so it supports the base only. That means inventorys, power, vehicles, etc.

Well, everybody willing to do an ANT run, raise your hand with pride!

[Fire_Monkey]

I don't really care. This concept was introduced fairly recently, and still may be modified but I seriously doubt it. Also once a base has been powered, it stays powered for a very long time. I'm assuming about 10 hours. So it will give you something to do at 3 AM when every other normal person has gone to bed.

ANT system=part of the almighty Dave's master Planetside Plan

[Zylos]

*points to sig* happy?

oh and about the ANT system, you guys are probably right. It adds a little more fun to seiging bases. Also i had the impression you'd have to do an ANT run every 5-10 minutes, not a few hours. If thats the case, I'm fine with it.
