The Phantasm looks alot like an AT vehicle. Maybe it is because there are no AT flyers. I could be wron though.

its not AT.

its common pool, that was one of the specific things we went over.

The concept reminds me of a vehicle in UT2K4. I believe it was called the Manta? The best part about it was the ability to lower your engines to mow through the enemy.

Oh, well aren't a know it all Gohan! Nah just kidding

. It was mainly because of the circles on the ends of the wings that made it look AT.

I would be in that club, back in core combat beta you couldn't drop a mod originally you either made it or you exploded. so I made a post asking to make it them the llu (shift+g to drop), smoke replied and sure enough it was in the next version. so everyone who has ever droped a mod seconds before it blew I will take your thanks now.

I know it isn't much but hey this is my contribution to the game and I want people to know.

Ok ok just a little info a dev told me about the Phantasm, dunno if anyone else has already spread the word so dont O F N me if you've already heard.

It's wings are folded backwards when it emerges from the v-pad. They swing forward after it lifts off. The circles in the wings are its lift engines, which I'm guessing are directable. It carries 5 people (not sure if that includes pilot but I dont think it does) who board via a ramp somehow (I'm guessing its in the back). It's only weaponry is a fairly weak belly turret used for clearing its drop area of light resistance (yes, LIGHT resistance, this thing isnt an air tank). It decloaks when it's weapon fires, and also becomes visible at higher speeds. It doesn't have a ton of armor either (but it's a stealth aircraft).

NOW. DIS-FRICKING-CLAIMER. REALIZE THAT IT IS STILL IN PRODUCTION. WHAT IS LISTED ABOVE IS ONLY WHAT THE DEVS HAVE PLANNED FOR IT CURRENTLY IN THEIR DESIGN DOC. That stuff is very likely to change after the Devs get done with BFRs and can really get rolling on it. I'm gonna be pissed if I see any buff/nerf/whine threads about any of the above because its not frigging out yet, or even being worked on, so spare your breath, the devs were kind enough to let us in on some of this, lets return the favor.

i think it will be fine as stated above, i hope it's 5 + driver.

Can u say shadow platoon drop on a base?

Oh and i dunno if ppl have said this alrdy, but i think they should have a certain type of armour that u can wear in it. Imagine like 30 rexos dropping on an amp station all of a sudden. BAM!

kcirreda · 2004-08-24, 01:48 PM

sounds exelent from wat electrofreak said. but how light is the armor? Iam hoping its atleast as much as a ATV but less than a Lightning. Around a harasser probobly. uhhh, people that devs listen 2 club, get 2 it!

but the thing is tehy would all be seen droping from the craft anyway even if it was cloacked, it's not like 5 gals of people can't drop on a base in the game as it is, they have enought health to fly over head. and most people don't nitice untill they are landing anyway.

I mean if it can't carry rexo why even bother? your better off taking a bunch of reavers or skeeters
