Sounds like the new AMS.

Sooo, Pretty.... and point defense beats cloaking bubble any day. I approve of the vehicles and their roles so far. Excitement is over 9000

My favorite looking vehicle so far, except maybe the Scythe (duh). Also, 4 weapons systems??? Does the pilot have a gun now or something? And I see no mention of a vehicle carrying capacity, whether it be the same as PS1 with ANT and Lightning sized vehicles or some sort of modification that makes it a heavy lift vehicle. Was really hoping for a kind of "sky crane" refit that sacrificed troop carrying ability and allowed it to carry tanks under the belly.

The nicest part is the detail of the base behind it, first great screenshots of an actual facility

[Hamma]

Very cool that it is deployed similar to an AMS and is not a flying spawn point as we first expected.

[BigBossMonkey]

DEFINITELY prefer this over the old AMS.

Galaxy mini-bases? HELL YEAH

Yeah I'm guessing the 4th weapon is a nose gun for the pilot. Either that or a top-mounted MG for defensive use when it's deployed. I hope the tailgun can shoot up now.

Interesting design tho. Not too fond of the bulky look.... Holds 12 now, no mention of if it can still carry a vehicle tho, nor if it has a cloaking bubble when deployed. I hope that the cloaking bubble is on the base model, or at the very least available as an unlock. We need to have a cloaked mobile spawn point available to us for stealth operations.

Even if it does cloak tho it'll still have certain limitations due to its size compared to an AMS. I wonder if the wings fold in once its deployed to reduce its footprint...

I also presume that it needs to be stationary and on the ground to deploy. I always thought the concept of ppl spawning in a flying gal to make a continuous stream of paratroopers kind of silly.

I love how it looks. I liked the Galaxy in PS1, but this one is so much more streamlined. I just wish we had more angles of it than head-on.

[Mastachief]

I like this... alot.

GALS as the new ams will certainly speed things up

[Zulthus]

I love the look of it. And I swear, that thing looks like it needs a runway or something to take off/land. It does NOT look like a VTOL to me

bit concerned its just going to be reaver food the moment it sets down. Would need some AA turrets to give it some teeth and be able to fend off at least 2-3 aircraft at a time I'd say.

Still think the AMS should be in, theres always room for the sneaky sneaky ground vehicle rather than the huge blimp coming in to land
