Reaver Cockpit Image & Tower!

[DayOne]

Quick (but awesome) thought. Imagine flying about in one of those things at night.

I can't wait until that outpost is littered with players. I'll be right there with ya!

putting them side-by-side

Reaver


Mosquito


Main difference is that the reaver has a lot more visibility in the lower-left and lower-right parts of the screen and appears relatively minimalistic while the Mosquito has no lower visibility at all.

Reaver looks really good, mosquito should be more like it.

having a 3rd view would be better...but anyway, the retards...i mean masses have spoken.

it really comes down to balancing of the aircraft, the skeeter, is more mobile than the reaver, meaning that if you want to look down, you could just fly with flight elevate taped down like in PS1 and look at the ground more. this is probably not so easy in the reaver since its bulkier.

I agree with locking if the cockpits are very similar in terms of visibility, but so far it does appear to be the case. TR are getting the shaft compared to the Reaver.

IMO they look fine. It also appears to be a close up screen shot of the instruments and looking out the front of the plane. Either that or you guys sit closer to your front dashboard there. Anyways, with the ability to mouse look around the cockpit it pretty much nullifies your entire argument. If you want to look out to the right or left of the mosquito then move your mouse and look that direction.

Working as intended.

It's looks great; except the yellow superimposed over the blue at the bottom looks a little messed.

I was wondering if there are parachutes from looking at the pictures of the base on that ledge. I know that when you jump out of a galaxy there will be a mechanism to protect the player from fall damage, but what if you jump off that ledge?

If they keep it similar to Planetside 1 then No there is no parachute. You will take damage/die when you land if you decide to jump from that ledge.

I like the interior of the cockpit, but the font they've used for the gauges seems a little off somehow, like it's not digital enough. This picture really impresses the scale of the game. You've got a hike up a mountain before you can even consider taking that base.

Cut a few peices away from the mossie one and its good. The look amazing though!

T-Ray Tweet rampage week continues!

Epic.

[Wargrim]

Looking at the HUD elements makes me think that while the mossie picture shows the whole cockpit, the reaver picture might not do so. Unless the HUDs are also empire specifc, or the shots are from different build versions.

And i still want to be able to disable the cockpit in favour of HUD view.
