Galaxy vs. Lodestar? - Page 2

Anyway even if it can carry one gunner it's not going to help very much if that gun is like the one on a galaxy. Maybe be able to gun down one reaver(bad reaver pilots) at a time but it wouldn't be able to do that much for defense. I hope it can carry vechicls, if your in a squad on a continent without a base of your own, you could load up your lodester with vechicles for your squad everytime they needed them and just hotdrop them in. Or hey, you could also get lodester and a vechicle (such as a magmower if it can fit tanks) for when you solo. That way the lodster would get you ther quicker and onc eyou get to the action you land and get your vechicle out and go running people over and blasting them.

maybe you can get a whole tons of tanks or something and have people inside. and just land and they all come at once. maybe a whole one full of troop trasports and then have them filled. You could have several squads ready to go.

Huger Battle

They should make it so that the lodestar can carry all of the vehicles pasengers including a full sunder but it has few if not one gunner. But if it has more gunners it should not be able to carry a full sunder into battle or that would put to waist the gal.

>>But if it has more gunners it should not be able to carry a full sunder into battle or that would put to waist the gal.<<
I have a feeling that dropping a full sunderer on the roof of a tower is a bit less effective than dropping 8 people is.

One thing ... :
If this thing is supposed to be able to hold a vehicle such as the sunderer, it has to be BIG. I wonder if there'll be more than a few landing sites big enough for this thing ... finding enough level ground for a galaxy can be hard enough, at times.

rofl 5 certs? I think you're overestimating it's resourcefulness. If it can carry ANY vehicle, and one can assume it will, or else it would be no more useful than the galaxy, it will only be able to hold one. Two would be a long shot, it would have to be MASSIVE. And if it could hold two, I be it would have 1 slot to hold anything, and 1 to hold what a gal can hold. Even if it did have two slots that could hold any vehicle, I still think you guys are over-estimating it.

And just something to think about, the sunderer is the largest ground based vehicle, who wants to bet which vehicle wont be able to ride in it?

THe lodestar will probably be a fad like the liberator was when it came out. Every reaver pilot(or in this case, gal pilot) will trade for it, love it for 2 days, and go back to business as usual. The lodestar IS a important vehicle BUT its not fun to drive/fly. AMSes are cheap b/c nobody likes driving them. Reavers are expensive b/c they shoot alot of missles and are fun to fly. The lodestar should be 3 cert points.

well, ill either get the loadster or medic, prolly medic, id much rather Of road a sunderer or a AMS than fly it somewhere, i mean it takes all the fun away, you know, like the going over a hill and flying 10 feet in the air in a sunderer or something, i mean thats fun

JetRaiden · 2003-08-04, 01:01 AM

yea, but imagine dropping a nearly destoryed sunderer on a crowd of TR...no offense guys...
