As said it's far from being heavily armed. It's 2 flying light tanks. It's not for combat it's for transport.

Praise be to the Galaxy, Praise be!

and may it pwn all you fools who dont think it will pwn. GALAXY POWER! and the fire power of two light tanks is considerable in my opinion. Teach those AA wielding pansies who's boss, and it that doesnt work, land on them.

Well if you have good gunners (I assume you'll need tailgunners for those two turrets) then you can stave off some good attacks. Same went in Tribes 2. If you had a well-equipped jugg in the back, he could have a jammer to keep aa off the thing, as well as missiles and a chaingun.

oooh. "Puff the magic Galaxy"

modifed Galaxy upgraded with two 105mm recoiless rifles (per side), 2 turrent mounted quad chainguns (one top and one bottom) and additional armor.

it can only carry a pilot and two gunners, but what a mess that sucker could create on the ground, eh?

oh, did I mention the single free-fall nuclear JDAM for good measure?

(sorry...just doin a bit of dreaming)

I'm gonna shoot one down just to see If Tobias is in it. It's the only way I'll be able to say "Hi" to him in game since we'll be in diffrent empires

Tobias · 2002-11-22, 11:29 AM

I will say "Hi" back by landing the flaming hulk on you and your squad.

Now that would be funny. I can see it now. "Hey Hamma, is that Tobias? *BAMM* flaming Galaxy crushes me to death "Yep, that's him alright."

Qanamil_Rafiki · 2002-11-22, 04:47 PM

hahahaha, good stuff.

Tobias will also be the one who taunts/emotes to you "Vanu Power!" whenever he gets a chance

Tolvy · 2002-11-22, 05:50 PM

There are also ground transports. The Deliverer for example would be the ground transport in Planetside. I wonder if anyone would use this. Wouldn't everyone use the galaxy? There has to be some disadvantages to the galaxy.

Ravon Dark · 2002-11-22, 06:09 PM

I'm curious to know if those Deliverers will fit in a galaxy.

Valmont · 2002-11-23, 12:22 AM

No more 75mm cannons, 20mm chainguns now.

Posted by SmokeJumperPS:
"Fungeneer: Just an update on the Galaxy...
Three gunners now (we added a tailgunner).

And the original loadout was reported to you all incorrectly. The full complement of a Galaxy is:
- pilot
- two wing gunners (with 20mm chainguns now...not 75mm cannons)
- tailgunner (with 20mm chaingun)
- six regular passengers
- two MAX passengers
- a light assault vehicle in the vehicle bay (either Lightning, Harasser, or the empire-specific "heavy buggy")
- the vehicle in the back can have passengers, so up to three more passengers can ride in that vehicle.

Total = 13-15 total (depending on if the vehicle is a 1-, 2-, or 3-person vehicle), and a light assault vehicle."
