New tweet image + other goodies

Am I the only one who think that the textures on the ground looks weird on that picture?

Like... I don't know... Too shiny, too much bumps, I'm not sure.

I think it's mostly because of the lighting, but it really caught my eye, almost as much as the Galaxy itself.

But once it lands anyone could hit it blindfolded.

And that, good sir, is most certainly what she said!

TR Squad Leader: "Blow that gal, hurry!"

TR Grunt: "Where?"

TR Squad Leader: "It's that giant rock you're standing on, noob! Quit hiding behind it sniping the tower, and get rid of that gal!"

I look forward to repeatedly ascending and descending into a canyon of sorts with that Galaxy. Suckers huge!

SOE Game Designer: I'm tired of Higby constantly telling me to make the Galaxy bigger, make the Galaxy bigger, blah, blah, blah. This time I'll make it as big as a freakin base so he'll tell me to make it smaller for a change.

Higby: Looks perfect.

i think Nanite systems must be russian owned.

designing the gal... they need it to be better.

Read with Russian accent: "what if we made it bigger?"

Big is good! Very much firepower! Can shoot, fly and launch nukes! Real effective! No imbalance!

EDIT: I'm getting a strange feeling like I haven't made any on-point post for quite a while now...
So I say - The gal looks good, but landing gear? Meh... It looks like it's floating, wheels are waaay too small for such a giant.

[Graywolves]

The Galaxy should have treads on the bottom of it instead of wheels.

Thanks... 12 seems low for the size.

If you upgrade your landing gear to tier 2 does it hold more?

[Captain1nsaneo]

I imagine the size of the gal is to allow it to carry 12 MAXs and the equipment for repawning/resupply.

Having said that I find the cursor in the middle of the gal's windshield annoying.

[Hmr85]

Yeah, the gal looks really good. I can't believe how big that thing is. That structure in the back has me really interested. Warp gate?

[Nobel]

Well, we know that there are shields over the respawn tubes in bases from the respawn tube design video, I wouldn't be surprised that, once deployed, the back of the galaxy opens up, theres some kind of interior with spawntubes/equipment terminals that is shielded from enemy fire. That would explain why its so large... you might be able to actually walk inside of it.

1) That level of shininess on the ground can also happen in real world. (with appropriate sun degree and etc..)

2) PS2 is just a game and that planet is not Earth.

3) If you seriously think that is very odd, I guess you haven't played many games.

4) Still WIP

5) Not everyone will dislike it, anyway

[Ailos]

Holy fuck that gal is huge. The wheel does seem a little undersize for it, too. It seems bigger than an MBT. It looks like a fucking carrier.

The chat window on the right looks like uncannily like an IRC window...

This - mostly We'll have to see if we can collect some of the best (oddest) moments in development. Some bugs are - epic.
