Phoenix Flight Limit???

[NapalmEnima]

I'm expecting some pretty "creative" phoenix tactics:



#1 Scout phoenix. Got a quick look at enemy positions, then plow into something. Or just park yourself inside a base near a terminal and a window... Keep a phoenix in the air at all times as a poor man's Mosquito.

#2 Multi-strike: Fire AWAY from the target, get lined up (target had better be stationary), then let it go dumb-fire. Fire the next one at the target, get lined up, go dumb-fire. Properly timed, both missiles should strike at the same time.

It may be possible to do this with 3 or more missiles, provided you've got an INV terminal handy, or a vehicle's trunk.

A large number of coordinated phoenixes will be pretty darn impressive.

Flechette Rifle
Source: Common Pool
Handling: Shotgun
Damage: High
Maximum Range: Medium
Refire Rate: Medium

Built upon standard shotgun technology, the Flechette Scatter Rifle fires multiple flechettes that are capable of piercing heavy armor at close range, making it a useful weapon against soldiers as well as armored vehicles.

Beamer
Source: Vanu Sovereignty
Handling: Energy Pistol
Damage: High
Maximum Range: Short
Refire Rate: Medium

The Beamer is the handy sidearm of the Vanu Sovereignty. It uses energy cells instead of regular ammunition, and thus has some flexibility over other sidearms. It can be converted from a regular energy blaster to a more focused, armor piercing shot that consumes more energy. Thus, it is good for regular close-in firefights as well as a reasonable anti-vehicular weapon.

forgot about these

i was just doing rockets and nades on things for anti vehicle.

I wonder if the plasma grenades will stick onto people and vehicles like they do in Halo. I think that would be really cool.

[m0rphiu5]

it would be very cool if they did, very cool indeed could turn an armoured vehicle ito a timebomb, ready to blow up the squad its heading to reinforce.....

are u in the beta tobias?

[Doobz]

i dont think they have announced the beta ppls

[Sytadel]

Yeah, no beta news yet.

Anyway, my guess is the pheonix will probably have quite poor handling to account for its long range. I.e. you may have to fly it 300m to do a U-turn. Rather than actually making the pheonix something where you hide somewhere and fire, you just use it to fine-tune your aiming. At least that's how I'd design it.

Oh yes, I'd like to add I'm going to be a pheonix/devestator/general heavy weaponary specialist.

[Tobias]

i dont think so.....

[Jinxmasta]

A 300 meter U-Turn? You nuts? I bet no one would want to use one if that was the case!

[Tobias]

I think it will
a) have a limited distance it can go from the user before the user loses control, or
b) have a limited flight time i.e. 30 secs before it self detonates because its fuel cells run dry.
