Aircraft Carriers and battleships with gun batteries would give two reasons to fight on water.

They could have two types of Bases out in the water, an Oil Rig base, which would work like an AMP station, and a "heavy" ship base where all the ships are manufactured. That would have some incentive to go out and fight.

Like a Dropship Center. But instead of Galaxies, it produces a VTOL carrier (essentially a giant landing pad for Mosquitos, Reavers, and Liberators).

The continents are all on planets. the continents are about one quarter the size of these planets. The rest of these planets are SUBMERGED in WATER....in other word the continents are SURROUNDED by WATER, yes WATER....thus is a naval expansion feasable...as are new continents.

notice the worlds don't rotate, they only show you the one contients, so...what's on the other side of that planet? maybe another continent? or two? possible, very possible. The Bending Video hinted as much. We may yet see boats patrol our waters. And fleets of space craft protecting our worlds from in-bound HARTs and enemy ships. Ah, yes, the numerous doors opened thanks to the Bending.

i would love to see a max in a space suit lol. yeah but the aquatic expansion would be a good idea you can have a ship ams like a battle ship that is huge or the battle ship which would go around the cont slowly could act like a base and you could hack it. the land vehicals could get on via a few docks along the coast that it stops at for 15 minute intervals.

You see the map? They're in a fucking space. Planet by Planet. Oshur is a planet with 4 island. Amerish is a planet with 1 continent. Earth used to have 1 continent but it took billion years to seperate into 7 continents.

Super_Ryu7 · 2004-08-31, 09:45 PM

well in the video actually it said that the Planets were reshaped to fit the continents in to the surface of the planets like the conts had always been there. the conts arent there own planets.

And what makes an island an island?

The fact that it's SURROUNDED BY FUCKING WATER. Goddamn, you're fucking dense.

Do we have a base on water? No.... Did we have battles on water? No..... Did any vechiles follow magriders or deliverers on water? No... How often you see mag and deli fight on water? Rarely...

Is there a point to this? What does that have to do with a naval expansion being impossible now because we supposedly don't have water?

Once again... is there a point to this? But you're wrong. We have had battles on the water. My outfit had a "Deliverer night" where we ran five Deliverers out to sea to loop around to a base. We got aggressed by two Magriders and some aircraft.

See my last two statements.

Uh-huh... and this has what to do with the fact that because we're now all fighting on different planets that there is no water nor is there a need for aquatic expansion?

Then whats the point of having aqua vechiles?

Firefly · 2004-08-31, 11:02 PM

Because obviously if they were going to put something in the game of that magnitude, they'd add a place to get them and/or use them.

Cauldron Borne · 2004-09-01, 12:00 AM

IT'S A FRIGGIN PLANET!

The Bending Video states, and I QUOTE:
"The continents were just...there...it was as if the planets shifted so that the continents seemed like they were always there..."

What does this mean" Let me tell you: It COULD mean that there were nine TOTALLY random planets that had NO LANDMASSES what so ever, but plenty of water. ND H=THEY JUST happened to SUDDENLY sprout these new continents after the bending/
OR
That these worlds looked like our own, but when the new continent came all the other contients on that world were moved over, SHIFTED, but in such a way as to suggest that they (the continents) were always there (the planets).

AND your statement about how it took our (RL) planet billions of years to break up it's mega continent into the seven we presantly have is
1) unfounded (no proof of it, just common theory by a bunch of whack-job scientist trying to prove their remedial exhistance) AND
2) stupid... it took one hour to break oshur into 4 islands.....

Is fun not a valid reason for adding something to the game?

Raige · 2004-09-01, 01:12 PM

Okay... since you want aqua vechiles... how are you going to spawn them?
