Airlift, youre going NC right? What kinda games do you play now? I wonder what kind of players we will get, it seems to lean itself to older more tactic oriented guys. I'm hoping we can form some swat assault teams for those roof top landings. I wonder if those turrets will lock onto a transport dropping straight down ontop of a base? What's their turning radius?

I believe the turning radius is 60 degrees both ways.

Hamma · 2002-12-17, 12:39 AM

Its very close to that, not sure exactly what it is tho

Navaron · 2002-12-17, 12:45 AM

60 degrees spin, or elevation. A 60 degree elevation is brutal, they might as well be AA guns.

I like all the empires. I don't think I'll go Vanu, but I might. The story people did a good job of making all three have appealing and unappealing aspects. I talk up the NC on these boards because they have the least vocal support. My sig is an NC galaxy because there still haven't been any good pictures of the other empires'.

[edit: oops, Hamma already did]

Pretty sure its just spin (We are talking about the TR max right? hehe)

Airlift · 2002-12-17, 12:48 AM

I thought it was the turn radius of the turrets. 360?

[edit: or maybe the turning speed of a galaxy?]

Hamma · 2002-12-17, 12:53 AM

doh, haha.. I am not sure on turrets.

I dont see how it woudl relate to the galaxy.. the glaxy is pretty much a bus in the sky

Airlift · 2002-12-17, 12:59 AM

My speculation was that the turrets are 360 rotational and would track on a galaxy coming straight down, (provided the whole amp deal)

Look at my sig and you will see the light!

Seriously, how many of you said, "I wish we were more advanced technologicly" while watching Star Wars, Star Treck, Starship Troopers...etc. Technology is the way to go for improvement.

I'm all for technology and progress, which is exactly what VS is.
Atleast the Vanu's aren't affraid to evolve.

Stay in your cave if you want, as for me I want to go in Space!

I don't mind that people don't like VS, in fact all the better.(although would be cool if Hamma or another PSU staff was VS

) I love being the underdog, more challenge and more targets = more fun.

The only thing i really wish would stop is the 13 year old "VS sucks, they wear gay purple" or "gay energy weapon" insults.

Exactly. We have the best armors of them all IMO.

If the Terran Republic does conquer the NC and VS.

One empire can't totally defeat any other empire. An empire's sanctuary can never be taken over. Or at least thats how I understand it.

Unlimited bullets = less damage or lower firepower or both.

Assuming you're refering to VS in your comparison here... they have 'bullets' just like everyone else. Energy weapons != no ammo.

Edit: Cool sig Laus!
