What if these carriers would act like mobile sanctuaries?

This is what I want;
A carrier that is maybe just four times as wide and four times as long as a galaxy.

The main guns would be mounted frigate style on the sides of the carrier, these cannons would have a short range and would allow for broadsides against enemy carriers.

The AA guns would be pretty powerful and would be fairly sucessful in destroying esf in the carriers are of operations.

I would like the carrier to be able to transport up to a platoon of guys where they can move around the vehicle and do the various jobs of defending repair and flying the craft.

I can see two of these mighty ships broadsiding each other at 100 meters apart. Close enough where the two crews can see each other. Esf screaming around and the aa guns chattering sending their tracers everywhere. Squads of light assault oarding parties cris crossing between the two great ships looking to gain a foothold on each others ships. An incredible fight happening 1000 meters above the ground.

I have a feeling we are seeing the new loadstar . But if it was something like Titan mode in BF2142 where they float around the map providing some benefit that would be prty cool.

This just screams BSG

Reminds me of my Chimera in EVE-Online:

http://www.eveonline.com/universe/spaceships/chimera/

It also has a partially open flight deck, but doesn't have the same "stealth" look as the Bastion.

I actually came here to link the DeviantArt photo that I found elsewhere on the internet, but it looks like Hamma's already on top of it!

bit big looking lol. im modeling faction specific large transport aircraft atm. will post them when done. needs alot of work though as im using a new program lol. if they make them like a titan mode out of bf 2142 that would be cool. attack and over run them for air benefits or something.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Something to MAKE BRFs look like ANTS.

Sign of things to come better retreat to Planetside (1)

DDSHADE · 2012-12-02, 01:38 AM

Holy balls I dreamed of this EXACTLY some day coming to PlanetSide 1 ... and now I see this... coming to life! Motherships? Aircraft carriers? where drop pods drop from? Naval or aircraft or both??? holy craaaap

I'm interested in that city in the 2nd picture, I wonder how viable it is urban combat in a game like ps2

sylphaen · 2012-12-02, 09:37 AM

PS2142

Phantomdestiny · 2012-12-05, 10:11 AM

i wonder if planetside 2 is gone manage to become one of the big names in fps's and mmo's because of this carrier idea and the type of positively "insane" ideas ps2 devs have envisioned for this game

Thats what im saying Malorn. Ok Ok imagine this as just an orbital platform, that has capture points, there are no resource gains but what ever faction owns this platform will have:
1. Access to drop points all over the continent.
2. Orbital strikes
3. Equipment drops as well as troops.

Now how do you take this base. We can have port links to the platforms, say for instance in a tech plant you can have the Orbital base port, meaning who ever controls this tech plant will have control to this access point, you know like the Bio lab. lets say that there are two or three access points to the plateform from the ground, and each of these is conected to a base on the ground. If say for instance the TR loose a base with an access point they may be defending from the plateform. Now depending on the size of the plateform this will determine how many capture points are availible. I guess you can say its like taking the bio lab and putting it in space.

Please god no.

They come from orbital stations. Not Carriers.

Methonius · 2012-12-05, 04:36 PM

They really should bring back galaxy spawn points so we can attack these from the air and land on them to deploy troops to board them and assault from the inside would be pretty sick.

Not checkng 11 pages to see if someone already posted this but:

Cannot be naval unit, non-submersive weapon/systems are mounted on the underside of the "ship" as stated in the key, including beacon launcher: not something I'd put on a sea-faring vessel...
