Droppods/Warp Gates

[Jinxmasta]

lol it would be funny if a whole outfit drop pods at the same time and some enemies come upon a huge pile of drop pods with nothing in them.

[cujoman39]

that would be hilarius and he turns around to find a entire company behind him they only give him enough time to say oh shi.......!!!!

[Jinxmasta]

Wouldn't it suck if some NC snipers were sniping at a group of TR guys outside of a base and then suddenly 10 Vanu drop pods land right behind em and take em out in less than a heart beat? Wait, that wouldn't suck because I'm Vanu!

[BLuE_ZeRO]

would be funnier to see them get squashed by the pods.

[Jinxmasta]

I doubt that would be possible because in one of the screenshots, it shows the drop pod hovering above the ground meaning you will have to use your kinetic dampeners or whatever so you won't die

[BLuE_ZeRO]

omg gay!

[Jinxmasta]

Maybe the kinetic dampers will do some damage if you land on people because that would sort of make sense. I wouldn't exactly want a MAX to land on top me. It seems like it would be sorta painful

[Zatrais]

hmm, whit these kinetic dampeners why would annyone bother to land a galaxy? can just fly over a base and bail out...

hehe should be cool =) aslong as the galaxy dosn't get shot down

[Marsman]

Well at some time you have to get in the galaxy. Landing certainly would make that easier.

Hamma, these drop pods seem a lot better than warpgates, so whats the point?

I suppose it has a safety factor.


Also, could you describe the whole drop pod expirence? Like how do you board the HART, what do oyu see along your trip, etc.

[Marsman]

Well for one thing - you can't take vehicles on the dropship. HART is fine for players - a little too cramped if you plan on taking a vehicle too.

[Hamma]

HART is good for very small insertions - only one person at a time and no vehicles.

The experience is pretty cool, you go to the HART station where you board it - just like yiou board an airplane. Then you wait for launch. The roof opens and the HART makes its way up into orbit. Once you get fairly high the map screen pops up and asks you to choose a drop location. Once you do that you get a cool little animation of the pod floating down to earth and resting on the ground - door opens and you climb out

[Noxx]

do you see the planet from orbit?

[Hamma]

Nope, once you get up high the map comes up
