Lodestar

[Lonehunter]

The Lodestar has yet to make it into PS, and allot of people are wondering when.. Sporkfire commented on this very issue yesterday:

The Lodestar, while it is definitely going to hit the game eventually, is still under development. A lot of the details have not been hammered out. When it was announced, it was meant as an indication of extended future plans so it will be a little while before it actually hits the game. But it's on its way. We promise.

Does anybody believe the bold part? If it's true I can't wait

thx for creating a comment thread

No offense to the loadstar fans, but unless it can haul ass and can haul people *inside* the vehicles, I just don't think it will be that special.

[IDgaf]

On its way doesn't mean anything.

The end of the universe is on its way, isn't it?

I can't figure out wtf this "lodestar" is supposed to be... I know everyone wants it, so apparently its worth my asking...

[Lonehunter]

it's like a Gal but bigger and for vehicles

[Cyskoraeban]

HURRY AND RELEASE IT DEVS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NoSurrender]

itll make tank squads a reality and itll make AMS easier to haul around

[WildEagle]

Hopefully, we don't know the details yet. This would never happen, but wouldn't it be cool to fly around a base with an AMS in a Lodestar as people would respawn and then hotdrop out?

Edit: Question, where are people gonna get the Lodestar? If it's bigger than a Gal the only place would be a HART station? Maby while the HART shuttle is gone people can get the Lodestar? (God I hope this thing is huge.)

[Indecisive]

I would think that it would keep the same properties as the gal, as in, you have to physically drive the veh into the lodestar....

Of course maybe they could attach a crane or something to it.

Ya know those trucks that drive down the road with like 10 cars on them that look like they are gonna fall off? thats what i think its gonna be like, sort of.



Hmm, maybe, there is an "elevator" type thing at the back, ya drive your tank or whatever on it, then once you get to the top you select a slot on the top.

Dunno, this is just me being board :/

It's an air vehicle I believe.

Yeah, the Lodestar is a vehicle-carrying aircraft, probably bigger then the Galaxy in terms of physical size, because Dave G said that it can carry the medium Empire specific tanks, and *possibly* an AMS. However, I doubt it can be deployed in the LS, so don't hold you breath on that.

If the Lodestar wasn't in the latest future features, I don't hold out much hope until thr next "batch" of features, or this rumored expansion pack.
