too many Pilots? - Page 2

The case of people wanting to try everything shouldn't be too much of a problem. People can mess around with different gear and craft in the VR training.

Depending on how the aircraft end up functioning, I'll either be a MAX or a pilot. If they have pitch control, I'm perfectly fine with them being VTOL and not having barrel rolls and such. If they can't pitch down and aim at the ground though, there's no point to me being in one, as dogfighting is boring to me without really complex flight controls. If they end up being helicopter-ish though, I'll definitely hop in a reaver a lot. Once I get my first implant slot though, it's infiltrator suit+knife+melee booster all the way.

its strange that no one wants to be a sniper anymore... that was the big thing a while back... snipers everywhere.. can't hit sh*t but still snipers

As for myself, the main reason i want to play PS is to be a pilot. I love sims (race, flight... anything) and had a blast flying soldiers around in Flashpoint (chopper were very hard to master, but once you got it, you were god). Now with the Galaxy, thats what i want to do... carry people around...

But with this 'T2' system of just strafing and going up/down kinda tames the whole show... I wonder what's the Dev team's take about this?!.

Not even banking or loops or upside/down flying?.. wth? thats not flying... thats hovering...

I'm gonna be a Reaver pilot mainly. If we need some recon I may fly a skeeter temporarily, and if we need to get somewhere I want to fly a Galaxy. Of course, I will probably make a better Galaxy escort. I think the skill-less pilots will stop being pilots after most of the MAXs realize being an AA gives you lots of BEPs.

Yes, Yes! all you can go pilots, so i can go AA MAX and creme all that fly

we get four character slots, we can all be pilots, snipers, tankdrivers, and whatever the hell else we want... right now sniper sounds good, but i plan on using the pheonix instead of the bolt driver
