The new gamespot vids answered some of them, and a few of them were answered a while back. The ones i know are that health is over time, one vid has a person being healed, i am almost positive you don't need a cert for gunning and the punisher can shoot all three grenade types and what looks like a rocklet round, MAXs can't use anything. Alot of the other questions are impossible to answer because they are the sort of things that open beta is to balance. sry for having kindof a bitchy tone, but the tank statement just rubbed me the wrong way, absolute polar opposite to my technique, if the tank is dead, the gunner wont hit much.

What about on foot, can you toggle 3rd person there?

Incompetent · 2003-01-08, 06:26 PM

doubt it

Okay... here's a single question (to throw onto my pile

)

Is the Reaver's chaingun turreted? I've been laboring under the assumption that it is... but now I'm not so sure.

I guess it's just that when I think "gunship", a specific idea springs to mind, chin-turret machine-gun + missile/rocket pods/launchers/etc.

And I'll wager I'm not the only one, since a number of other people also thought it was a 2-man jobby. Makes more sense now.

i would think it is fixed, the only way it would work turreted with one person is if they could pull of an apache style targeting system, which is basically impossible. I think it used to be a two man vehicle, in which case it would make sense for it to be turreted.

More info about the deliver and the sunderer!

How many passengers can they hold?
How many guns do they have? Also what kind?
What kind of coverage do those guns have?
How fast are they?

Pretty sure the reaver CG is fixed.

Guardian AngeL · 2003-01-08, 06:52 PM

Do you think you could drive a quad or something off a jump and land on a galaxy and hitch a ride with it?

Hamma · 2003-01-08, 06:54 PM

beats me.. id say no

Camping Carl · 2003-01-08, 06:56 PM

Or could you get on top of a tank and ride around on it? Can a max anchor on top of one? I know this sure wouldn't be very realistic, but are there systems in place to prevent this?

Toru · 2003-01-08, 07:38 PM

that would be sweet

Camping Carl · 2003-01-08, 08:07 PM

Is there any difference between different empire's armors.
Example: Let's say that vanu scum medium suits are faster, but offer less protection than say, an NC medium suit? Makes sense right?

Can you bind yourself to somewhere on a continent, then just blow yourself up when you're on a different continent and you need to get there fast?

Why did you guys make those vanu scum, just plain suck?

5 and 10 for the deliverer and the sunderer, deliverer can hold one max and the sunderer gets 2.
They both have twin turreted guns, probably 20mm.
Almost total, the only blindspot is almost up against they hull
Faster then a sprinting MAX, otherwise there would be no reason to have compartments for them, other then that, noone knows.

Will you need to reload your weapon in order to switch between armor-peirceing and anti-personel ammo?

Camping Carl · 2003-01-08, 09:38 PM

C'mon people! Start posting questions already!
