Agreed.

I don't think we should get the ground repair silos just bescause they don't by any means get destroyed as quick as Reavers/Mosquitos.

I dont buy this, at one point the watch towers were going to get ground vehicle reload and ressuply. It still may be coming down the pipe and i think talking about it might speed the process up, but as with any model change the developers are slow to implement it I believe because it whould be a big patch and they like to work those in series. I just also dont buy this thought that reavers and mossyies are easier to destroy then ground vehicles. Yes ground vehicles have more armor, however they cannot disengage from a fight like air vehicles can. Also untill they give the Skyguard more ammo, it is not a feasable vehicle to use without a dropship center in a heavy fight youll be heaving to manualy reload your flak every five minuetes.

The thing about that is that would make people be team players...

I'd like to see Gun towers have 4 Phalanx turrets, and the watch towers have the vehicle repair silo..

edit: I've heard that the devs are working on a new version of the patcher I hear that would allow them to patch building and map elements without requiring us to download a huge file.

Yeah they're working on changing the way information about a map is held so that it can be changed easier and without a massive patch when you change stuff (I believe this was in the last AGN dev chat).

I see your point Doppler, but how often do you fly a Reaver or a Mossie? I do ANYTIME I am online PS. Whenever you go against the Starfire or Sparrow, it is complete and total destruction. I die within less than a full clip from either MAXes. I am TR so I cannot comment on the Burster but I'm quite sure it's not such a bitch like the Sparrow and Starfire.

Example: Say a starfire/sparrow is camping a veh pad outside of a base thats being zerged. What usually happens? Just more killspam in the chat window, you don't have much of a chance unlike ground veh's. When they get off the pad, they don't get insta-lock of death on em.

Burster is like a slightly less dangerous Skyguard...
