Post balance pass Maxes - Page 2

I wonder if one empire using fewer MAX units on average would actually be a boon. Imagine all the extra vehicles, hacks, repairs, rezzes etc. that would be generated by people not sweating it out in a monkey suit.

I dropped all my MAXs, even the Decimator-hungry Burster, and I find my equipment skills are much more useful because of it.

Still, it would be fun to hack out an enemy MAX suit once in a while, if equipment terminals produced enemy assets. As for my dream of an electronics-warfare MAX, probably a longshot too.

The new maxes are great. There are lots of them around now.

On Markov I've seen some huge squads of MAXs. I once saw 11 of them working together. Was an awesome sight. Last night I ran down into a spawn room we had taken and there were about 7 Comet MAX all lined up facing the tubes with Engineers behind them. A little VS play on the TR/Pounder trick.

I can only speak for the VS Maxes since Im currently trying two of them out..

The Quasar got buffed but its right about where it should be.

As for the Comet, it might be a little overpowered. My example would be my very first time in a comet EVER. Not even in VR I think. I walked out of a tower that the TR were just starting to attack. There was a Lightning, a Reaver and a Max(? pretty sure) I destroyed the Lightning fairly quickly, when i noticed i was being shot down by a reaver. So I hit the jumps and flew towards it shooting the whole time. It took off, so i didnt think i killed it but I forgot about the aggravated damage and it blew up bout 50m away. I was freaking amazed. So then I headed to the base where i dropped a max and then got decimated. That was with a n00bie Comet user too....
