If we still can, then fighters will be fast enough that it will be worth it to retreat to an air tower (or wherever) and let the pad repair me, instead of landing somewhere, getting out and repairing. I don't plan to ever equip the auto-repair module, and I doubt I will install the bailing module much either, so if I can't repair at an air tower I'll probably take engi any time I don't think I'll need to bail into a fight, and take LA when I think I will need to bail. If there are air repair pads, I'll almost never fly a fighter as an engi. I'll only drive tanks and fly Liberators/Galaxies as an engi. Last edited by Xyntech; 2012-06-16 at 09:24 PM. |

HA flying should be fine.
- Ejecting means giving up something beneficial, which means the aircraft will be disadvantaged. - Aircav travel comes at a hefty premium, so its less likely to be used as a personal taxi all the time, and definitely far less cost effective than a Gal. 12 troops in aircav = 1200 resources. 1 gal = 150 resources. Plus the gal is then reusable. - Aircav(and indeed, all vehicles) seem far more fragile, so actually getting into position to drop will be more difficult with adequate AA protection. Its not personally what I'd pick, but I don't think it will be all that bad either. |

As for the subject... I don't know it's odd for me, I could see HA driving tanks and such... but perhaps not aircraft. |

The resource system will make it so that you don't want to do it on a whim. Presumably groups that choose to do a mass air taxi hotdrop will be winning, thus offsetting the resource cost of the ditched aircraft.

To put this another way: In order to take advantage of that, they need to have a less capable aircraft than an LA, and won't have the option to repair anywhere as the Engineers do; heck, they won't even have the option of cloaking to run off and hide that Infiltrators will. These seem like relatively even trades to me. Ultimately, we'll have to see in the Beta to confirm who's views are right on this, and if it is a concern, I'm sure changes will be made. |

How come I can't bail out of my AA MAX to kill them? |
