Exclamation I want a rail shooter!!


Wouldn't it be total awesome sauce for SOE to add a rail shooters to Planetside 2,

Imagine how kewl it would be







NO YOU FOOL I'm not talking about Starfox or Rebel assault geez


I'm talking about putting shooters or turrets as we call em heh on rails, I know that most of the base designs so far have the defense turrets as static emplacements, this is the future right? where's all the mobile defenses!

Gun emplacements can only ever have a limited field of fire based on where they set down on a base, leaving a lot of blind spots to them.
Would it be a good idea to free them of there static chains and have them able to patrol on tracks a small area around them giving them better ability to help in a base defense? I'm not suggesting having a large crazy roller coaster base system.
This turret system would only be able to move when it's manned, when unmanned it just sits in it's primary position, I just see static defenses and think nowadays it's a bit of a waste.

What do you guys think, to much?


EDIT: Thanks to Stew & MrKWalmsley for pointing out UT has a simliar system to what I proposed
First turret in this vid has the idea
