Aaaaaww... my dreams are shattered...

Not really into flying but I must say, everything i've seen so far looks amazing, I might even try my hand at the friendly skies afterall.

Anyways, great TB movie, his remarks always crack me up.
Looking forward to more... he does have more right... right!!

The whole argument is just ridiculous in this thread, basically its saying. If its not serious enough looking, it doesnt belong in the game. Im sorry but I personally think its stupid to limit the choices in customizing just because it doesnt look serious enough. As for the Not having enough ES color, you have radicals that change color between red and green for friendly and none friendly im sure, so unless you twitch game, which planetside game play isnt, you arent going to have a problem I think.

-edit- not trying to sound hostile, I just think its a stupid thing to get upset about.

LOL OMG.

Thats pretty awesome actually lol.

Question for TotalBiscuit! Or Higby. Anybody that knows. Where does the bloody belly gun go? It doesn't seem like there's room for a 150mm underneath, but embedding it into the plane would surely make an AA turret useless I'm desperate for some mechanical details on how this is going to work.

Impossible. What monster could hate the Loverator?!

Seriously though, WWII planes got painted like tigers, AWII planes get painted like zebras, what's the harm? Somebody drop me a note when they start selling models that replace your Lib with a winged pig and I'll join the picket line.

Could you please identify the precise location of the line between zebra print and a Hello Kitty decal?
It just seems like if you were going to paint something on your plane then something you like would be a prime candidate.

That being said, shouldn't the more funky textures be tinted to suit the empire's color scheme? The zebra'd Liberace only had a red stripe or two, otherwise it's (most likely) identical to a VS or NC zebra'd Lib.

While I will probably never like this sort of colorful battlefield, one might speculate that, with all the nanites and rebirthing, war has become vastly different on Auraxis than what we might expect in our reality. If you can spawn vehicles with the push of a button, why not spawn them with a distinct color scheme? If you can just respawn after you die, why not make your armor stand out, rather than offering more concealment and survivability? And so on, and so forth...

Hello planeside universe! First post, gotta love it.

I hear what your saying. It really does come down to personal preference.

However...I have to note something based on my limited experience in the u.s. military.

You are not allowed to make you're aircraft look bad. In other words, it has to keep with the espirit-de-corp.

I'm not saying that because it's done in the military it must be done here.
I'm saying planetside 2 is about trying to relive those great childhood day dreams of charging normandy or a horde of Orks from Warhammer 40k (depending on your upbringing. I did both

Hard to do with the loverator. My humble openyun.

Stuff that isn't ridiculous that fits into the theme of the game. It's like running around with a foam finger for a gun that goes "pew pew pew". That's going too far IMO. Other than that not exactly sure what you're asking.


Anyway FFS, people take this too far, I just posted my opinion, but here we go with the "STFU you're wrong you think it's all about you".

[Quovatis]

People are seriously complaining about the paint customization? Come on.

[NewSith]

Ok, I'm now, officially, a liberator pilot. I forsake the boltdriver.

[Patek]

theres a bit of the TR faction color, red, on the front/top of the liberator and on the wings when he switches to 3rd person from PS2 - TB Lib Vid - 6:39 for those people that are worried bout telling friendly or foe.

not sure if thats enough for some of ya tho

[Quovatis]

Decals will have to be approved by SOE for custom work. As Higby once explained, they don't want Magriders with pictures of dicks on them roaming the battlefield. But as long as it's tactful, customization is awesome.

Well that already makes me feel quite a bit better. I was under the impression the camo would be a straight paint job right over the empire colors.

Front-top is different to front. Taking this thing head on would make it practically un-discernible until it fired at you or you got close.

Although I am glad that they are not letting this design be a final product, but until it is possible to notice them from the front it might as well be mentioned.
