So much Galaxy so little cargo. - Page 3

i seriously cant see why someone would pay 10 bucks a month to fly a cargo plane...seems suxxor to me

tmax, no one would do that, it IS a waste of money. However we WILL need Galaxy pilots, full-time or not. You can get more than 1 cert! I doubt ppl are just going to go fly Galaxy's all the time.

I think the deliverer can be classified as "stealthy". Send in a decoy Galaxy pilot from the north. Enemy will then be watching the skies and moving that way, and then the real attack force comes from the south in a deliverer. It all depends on your commanding officer and the way things are planned out.

Cant believe you just described the deliverer as "stealthy". Its like trying to sneak up on someone with a bus thats missing a muffler.

Then the galaxy is like trying to sneak up on someone with a 747

Hmmm...do you get kill BEP from everyone that was in that Galaxy? *loads Lancer*

Agent · 2003-03-17, 05:15 PM

Haha why does everyone think Galaxyies will be just floating targets? Maybe noobs but in an outfit I bet Galaxies would have protection.

Are they fast enough to take ten simultaneous Lancer blasts for the Galaxy? I think not. Even if escort wastes us later (unlikely, infantry can hide or fight easily), that's a potential 8 infantry + 2 MAX + Tank (BEP for all 3 people?) + Galaxy (all 4?) worth of BEP. But no, there will be pilots who will be able to make them hard targets, but escort will not do much since the element of surprise is just so easy against aircraft. Unless they have cloaked scout buddies right next to us.

What are they gonna do, jump in front of the thirty something rockets/lancers and thousands of bullets everyone shoots as soon as they even see the damn thing, let alone be in range. Hell, if the enemy has any AA MAXs, which i expect to be pretty damn common, your escort is gonna get raped even worse then the Galaxy

Is it me... or am I the only person around that wants to be the gunner on a galaxy? It sounds like so much fun, I don't know why!

I think that most Galaxy pilots will be pilots with the Cert pt(s) in Galaxy.

They don't have to fly it all the time... only once. Bring an ANT to the battlefield, then despawn, grab a different aircraft, and bring it to the battle....

That's my plan, at least.

You CAN get out of a Galaxy, right? Just hop out and join the battle on the ground...

i want to be a gunner in a galaxy but not a full time one.

That's the thing... being a gunner doesn't mean anything - just be a gunner for the ride over, then hop out... that's all ya need to do.

The passengers can man the guns, then hop out when they want to.

Heh, I think that people will be CLAMORING for a spot in a Galaxy . . . especially MAX armors. A MAX can't pilot a Galaxy, can he? If not, well, isn't that just about the only way he can get around besides walking?

I think there'll be plenty of need for the Galaxy.

OmnipotentKiwi · 2003-03-17, 10:43 PM

I personally will probably not use a Galaxy much as I will have enough Vehicle and/or MAX certs to get around.
