MAX weapon question:

vulcan · 2003-03-11, 02:22 AM

I haven't seen this answered but I probably skipped over it:

Do the MAXs have more weapons than their primary one? Think pistol.

Also do they have any other equipment?

Basically are they limited to ONLY their main weapon (anti - infantry, vehicle, aircraft) ?

Harv · 2003-03-11, 02:47 AM

My understanding is that yes, they only have their main weapon, the rest of their space is filled with ammo

Only one primary weapon, yeah.
... but then again, that's all you need aslong as it's big 'nuff.

Okay, then a follow-up question. How effective are the anti-vehicular/aa guns for the NC MAX against infantry. How effective is the infantry shotgun against vehicles (close range? air? at a distance?)

This question is mostly for Hamma and other beta testers who would know.

Not quite sure how effective, I would obviously assume not that effective, but i'd bet you can still get some decent damage done.

I asked this very question some time ago.

The answer was that MAX weapons are most effective against its intended target, but still somewhat effective against the other two.

So a AA MAX can defend himself versus infantry. He just won't be as effective as a AI MAX.

a MAX has an inventory of 15X9 OR 18X9, im not sure of which one, they can carry ammo, and anything they are certified for, for example the medical aplicator and REK, HOWEVER they cant use anything else but their own specific anti-air/anti-vehicle/anti-infantry weapons, but they can carry around whatever they are certified for,
as I understood, they can give out things in their inventory to teammates as ammo for their teammates weapons weapons and so on.
Tho I am not sure

MAX's can be used as packmules yeah.... stuff'm full of supplies and leave him whit a lil room for ammo hehe.

simba · 2003-03-11, 08:11 AM

what about inventory space, is it 18X9 or 15X9?
I think it should b 18X9 couse reinforecd is 12X9 which is almost the same as 15X9.

Zatrais · 2003-03-11, 08:26 AM

Just curious, where did you get that reinforced has a 12x9 inventory space? As for the MAX inventory space.. i'd guess 18x9.

Hamma · 2003-03-11, 08:33 AM

Im not sure where these #'s came from

Zatrais · 2003-03-11, 08:47 AM

Theres a shot of the agile and standard armors using a inv station, shows the space. never seen a Reinforced armor but it's kinda logical for it to have a larger inv.. I know MAX's are atleast 12x9 cause theres a shot whit a VS MAX that has 600 rounds... i think someone calculated the inf suit space also..

course feel free to make corrections hamma =P

Agile: 9x9

standard: 6x9
http://www.planetside-universe.com/m....php?img_id=68

Inf: has to be 6x6
http://www.planetside-universe.com/f...&threadid=2060

MAX: atleast 12x9... most likely alott more hehe
