Lodestar

[Derfud]

I was reading on the planetside.com site recently, and I realized they had plans for a vehichle transport called the Lodestar! To some this may be OFN, but it has not been mentioned much, and there are no concept drawings, or other types of information availible. So this thread is for speculation, like: What new sort of tactics will be used now that there will be a vechichle transport. Will it be able to carry heavy vehichles? How many can it carry? How many passengers? How big will it be, how fast will it be, will it have any self defence? These are all questions waiting to be answered.

My guess is it carries the following:
1 piolit, 1 gunner
2 Vechs (any but sunder)

Is like the big military transport choppers that carry 2 tanks at a time.

There are no pics of it yet

If I hear what I think its gonna be it'll be something like this:

4 places to hold vechiles (Except maybe the Sund?)
3 crew members, 1 pilot and 2 12mm chaingunners

That would be crazy, having AMSs dropping on a base like rain

AMS would be crazy, but I would hope it can carry a Sunderer or two.

[MrVulcan]

ya, but sometimes it is jsut crazy how far you have to drive to get places, also consider that you spend your certs on somehting that has NO guns, and gives you NO pts for driving one

Though it would cause problems if they were falling out of the sky, just think that if you saw one fall out fo the sky, you would know where it was and anyone can take an ams out once they know where it is.

I think it should have 2 heavy vehichle positions, and 2 light vehichle positions. And it should be massive! I mean, extremely huge!

Hmmm... a rain of AMSes would be interesting... very nice way to test the enemy defense...

Does kinda defeat the purpose of the Liberator. Who needs bombs to drop on the enemies heads when you can just drop AMSs.

I hope it can't transport the Sunder, the deliverer would get more use if it could be transported and the sunder couldn't
