New Air Vehicle Idea

LimpBIT · 2004-02-21, 09:34 PM

I know there has been some buzz about this in PS but i think we need a new air vehicle. Something like a reaver that has something like a flak cannon or lock on missles. Just an idea..... So yeah post ure opinions.

Well, Smoke hinted at empire specific aircraft coming, but he's just a tease like that.

I would like a fast Light bomber/Anti-Air with 2 crew or something like that.

A not hovering airvehicle would be nice.

Somehow I don't think they'll give us air units that counter other air units.

lock on or flak spam air vehicles are THE WORST IDEA EVER

Care to back up your idea killing?

Personly i thing that the skeeter is AA enough for a plane, though some kind of planes that emulate fixed wing aircraft would be cool, make the lib into one, and a new fighter thing like an A-10 or something

Aircraft needed:

Mothership
Size: Absolutely Massize
Armour: Would take 1000 reaver missles to kill
Use: Be a really awesome sight to se crashing into a base
How to get: 6 pilots need to get seperate pieces from Dropship centers and align them, which would take 30 minutes
Alternate Use: 1.) Suiciding causing the effect of an os 2.) clearing bridges 3.) MASSIVE dropship with Warp 9

Ya destroyeron, I think it should be a flying fortress.6 gunners,1driver,and then cr 5s in the back so they can plan attacks from the air. It would be good for outfit leaders.

I remember when someone was thinking about putting a 150mm+ cannon on the Galaxy, and everyone said it would be way too powerful. The Mothership, however, would make the "Super-Galaxy" look like child's play.

Yes but how about there be no guns on the mothership becuase after all what if its kinda like a floating command center then there will be no need for it to get close to battle.

UncleDynamite · 2004-02-21, 11:35 PM

I don't think PS needs a command center right now. I'd rather see some of the organizational tools (like a screen that shows all of the CRs and possibly where they are located in the command hierarchy) that the Devs were thinking about a long time ago.

But see there is a problem with only having the skeeter as the only anti air to air vehicle. See the skeeter isnt specifically designed for Air to Air combat even though it is used for stuff like that. We need to make an air vehicle that is air to air only. Skeeters are also okay for anti ground but they arnt used for that purpose to often. Something like a.....striker on an air vehicle. Strikers dont do to much damage but in masses they can be lethal. So the clips of course would have to be small and take quite a while to reload, but it would be worth it. Yes I do agree the flak cannon is a little to much but when you think about it the lock on missles for ONLY ,and i emphasis only cause if they locked on to ground to it would be a little unfair, anti air it wouldnt be that bad. Just my opinion. Keep telling me yours.

Dharkbayne · 2004-02-21, 11:39 PM

4 shots a clip, can fire missles like, 1-2 ..... 3-4, so you can shoot 2 missles at once, or one at a time, they lock on, and do alot of damage to air, but hardly any to ground.

3 to kill a skeeter, 4 for a reaver, maybe, 20? for a gally? 10 for a libby

LimpBIT · 2004-02-21, 11:45 PM

Yes thank you that is exactly what i want done for this new vehicle. Im hoping this will be done. Maybe if the devs at SOE get enough pressure to do this they will snap and finally make it for us. (Or we could just go over there and beat them until they do)
