All i herd was performance, may have been an armour one too ?

[DOUBLEXBAUGH]

1 Defensive (armor or shields to certain spots), 1 utility slot (EMP, minegaurd, etc.) and 1 performance (speed boost, or handling boost etc.). Also any weapon can be swapped out for different ones.

I still think it's a flawed model, gunning and driving a lightning was hard enough for most people without having to also be looking up!

Maybe I'm bitter, I just like the SG

I really don't even care about the thousands of players anymore at this point, I'd take a 1500 cap if it meant the good stuff like weapon holstering, vehicle animations, and VARIETY in vehicles made it back in. They look sexy, but I don't really like that they're making a single vehicle able to perform every role needed.

[Biohazard]

Performance
armor
utility

[ThGlump]

mods: weapons. 3 utility/performance slots, 4 appearance slots

[LZachariah]

Specific mods for vehicles include anti-mine under-armor (providing the vehicle with greatly increased resistance to anti-armor mines). This would allow the very fragile Quad Bike the ability to survive at least one mine, possibly 2. It would make the Sunderer (which is already extremely durable) to survive many mines.

Sunderer also has EMP as a slottable unlock, which unleashes a wave of EMP when activated (uses a cooldown timer) or a smoke screen ability, which could shroud soldiers as they unload from the Sunderer.

the skyguard required 2 people, this requires one...the idea might be...dont move? ..it really depends on its weapon systems. it could be flak, high ROF projectiles or missiles.

[NewSith]

It's sad they won't use my tortoise transport concept =(

But does absence of lodestar mean that there will be no aerial vehicle transportation at all?

They are bragging how detailed everything is, showing screenshots how you can see threads on uniforms, and then scratch holstering due performance issue. Im with you there. Less pointless details that only looks cool, more details that are cool/usefull

Damn, wanted to ask how vehicles are being entered these days, but they got cut out.
