This vehicle scares me. They can put a telepad inside... making defense even tougher than it already is.

Router outside a tower or near an AMS... telepad inside the base... game over.

But there is no IFF on the router, so if defense goes through the tele, they come out at the AMS/router, and can blow it with impunity.

uggg
man this is gonna be scarey
a infil/hacker sneaks into enemy CC and puts the telepad down
a bunch of maxes, engineers and maybe a few infantry come through
the telepad is then destroyed or whatever u can do to it
ug there goes our hopes unless the defenders rush in there to secure the CC with tactical handheld nukes

I can't wait to be an arty spotter, you have no idea. The fact that they're bundling the AMS with the router will make me pick up the cert when it's released.

VERY nice. Kinda weird that the switch can lock down, but, blech. Lol.

I can't wait for this new ATV. I think that would be sweet. 3 atv's for 2 cert points. They are pretty DAMN USELESS now.
I'mma thinking Artillery is going to make thinks pretty messy. I guess that's what they want. Now, if they could just make a rocket tank for me to drive, that would be plenty nice.

[Harps]

Why do u think they made they atv cert 3 at first :P The same reason they put the llu in. Im sure once the switchblade is added it will get moved back to 3 certs

[scarpas]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[Flammey]

Yeah, but still, 3 certs for 4 vehicles is still pretty sweet. And you might say 4? What's the fourth? ANT, of course. Unless they change that.

All of the vehicles look cool. I can't wait for the Router cause of the teleport thing. Sounds really cool and if you can get stuff from it like the AMS then we'll probably see more Routers then AMS in the battlefield once Core Combat comes out.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that these new vechicals will only by avalible from the underground cavern bases....

Which means things like artillitry, which would be most effective over ground, will be hard to move... plus you have to take into account that aircraft wont have much of a role to play in these caverns ( a galaxy flying around down there!!!? ), so no quick transport and aircraft cert suddently become ussless down there.

But i guess we will have to wait and see what the caverns look like and how big they will be....

Stick the router under an AMS bubble surrounded by spitfires and a few AI maxes. Attack when u want and watch them get waxed as they come through. Acctualy can u deploy AMS in a warp bubble? b/c if there is no range just deploy the AMS and the Router i nthe warp bubble. Place the Warp either inside the base if u can or out side the base. If hteres no range on the router u could get a cloaker to literly take a Wraith across the whole continent and set down a router. Attack from behind and its all over.

I'm guessing that this is going to be one of the first things to change.

I hope this expansion is enough to bring me back... but seeing as the original only kept me interested for about 2 months, I'm not holding my breath.

You can't deploy an AMS inside a warpgate.

It looks like the telepad is something a soldier can carry. I imagine they won't make it so an infil can carry it. Probably something rifle sized. Having an infil sneak into a base and deploy it would make it pretty damn powerful.

Another thing is what if you kill someone carrying the telepad? Can you then deploy it yourself and use it to rush back to the source router?

The power of the artillery vehicle is going to rely heavily on its targetting. Hopefully it will a targetting system specific to artillery.
