Where's my mag?!

As soon as I got the PSU tweet I started speeding home from school haha, it's an interesting model, but i feel without the engines on the side of the wings it just doesnt seem "reaver-ish"

Overall I do like the new design, and cant wait for more!!

While you're showing off air vehicles I'd love to see what the bomber I'll be flying looks like. :P Keep 'em coming.

It's occurred to me that nothing besides the Vanguard has been posted with visible weapons, really. What if everything is modular, akin to BFRs? Say you acquire a Reaver with rocket pods and dual 20mm... what if you could switch out the rocket pods for quad 20mm for enhanced dogfighting?

Maybe the galaxy is modular too, and you can switch out passenger bays for a Gunship configuration package?

Westy, I think you are onto something. I used to have a couple loadouts for my old reaver. Simply, 1 was gun heavy, the other was rocket heavy, so actually being able to customize the loadout that much more would be tremendous!

This is an idea that is becoming increasingly more appealing to me. Originally I was thinking, "No damn it! Did BFRs teach us anything about modular weapons!"

But if it was limited to say switching the secondary weapon on the reaver from the original rocket pods to some sort of tank buster bomb or air to air missiles I think it could work well.

Don't allow it to be a vehicle that can cope in all situations but make it so it can specialise for different situations with load outs, perhaps for extra certs?

Right, that worked out well in Team Fortress 2. Switching general applications (default Reaver owns face at just about everything) to specifics (dedicated anti-tank, or anti-air, etc) is actually a pretty fun gameplay mechanic in my experience.

Let's see some TR next time please

If by black and red you mean the fluids leaking from a TR soldier's brains when I make them into a smear on the front of my Reaver then yeah.. everything looks better in black and red! ( I like purple too btw... Vanu bleed too!)

NC ftw!

And all you people saying "that looks like a mosquito".. you haven't seen the mosquito yet (I guess I just confirmed that we HAVE a mosquito)...we're striking a balance between old and new that you should judge for yourself when you see it all in the game.

And all you pilots out there. These are not your daddy's toys. They have a whole new physics and feel to them that will require skilled pilots and will absolutely separate the men from the boys in the cockpit. We've put a lot of time and energy into how things feel in this game.

Will it further separate the salty men from the men?

Life does that pretty well already.

And as you just started the empire flame war here: Dude, it will be a pleasure for the Vanu to kick NC into the ground. :P

Anyway: Magrider please?
