Drop pod destroys Liberator - Page 2

Haven't seen the footage but they did mention it. Obviously this will happen not so rarely - It would be nice that drop pod takes damage (gets destroyed) too otherwise it's pretty broken.

The only part of the E3 footage you need.

Oh man, that's spectacular.

It's your mission ,if you choose to accept it,is to take a clip of just that moment and post it on youtube for massive ad revenue. ( I will link this everywhere)

Look above, it is already linked.

By the way it purposefully moved very slightly towards the target, that would seem likely.

Alternatively vindictive AIs controlling the drop-pod's thrusters, which could also be a fun mechanic.

EDIT: it's slightly hard to see in the video, but if you hold your finger over the centre of the drop-pod's reticule you see the drop pod does track downwards towards the liberator, away from the AMP station's tubes it's originally aimed at.

MORE IMPORTANTLY!!!!!!!!!! after he landed he stood on a Gal for a few seconds in the video. Does that mean that TECHNICALLY you could jump out of your air craft ontop of a friendly Gal. And heal it while it drops and guns? Exciting prospect if you ask me

They DO get to steer the droppod to a degree.

have you watched?

That liberator stopped right under it just before impact.

point is it WASN'T a stunt but just a funny occurance that was great to see.

I think you should also die if that happens. I mean, you just landed and blew up a bomber filled with bombs and jet fuel.

Totally awesome

btw we have auto youtube embed it just does not work for timestamps.

Not exactly sure what you two are arguing about. Pretty obvious that the guy steered the drop pod, that's irrefutable. Not sure how you mean "stunt", but it was certainly a funny occurrence.

Oh yeah, should be 'splosions all around.

It would be kind of cool if a whole squad could get in pods and once and rain down on a bunch of peeps chilling in a courtyard.
