News: T-Ray Tweets New Vehicle - Page 5

HiroshiChugi · 2013-02-07, 08:00 AM

I have to agree on the fact that it's neither a Buggy or a Deliverer. For one, T-Ray said it wasn't a Buggy. And for two, it looks HIGHLY similar to the Marauder. My best guess is... fast transport? Like a mini Sunderer, but half to a quarter of the passenger seats and twice, maybe three times as fast? And not to mention only one gun. Who knows, maybe it's SOE's idea of what will be the Humvee of the future.

Edit: Grammar.

@Emperor Newt
Too many wheels for a VS vehicle!

-e-
All this talk of PS1 vehicles got me thinking about the guns on the PS2 Sunderer: they should be offset like the original ES Deliverers to improve the gunners' views.

hmmm from that mirthful response on twitter wondering about it being the Deliverer, TRays going to cheat again and call it something like the JLTV just to spite us

though speaking of the JLTVs..... what does it remind you of

How about we just call it the Raider?

I want my Thunderer back, damnit.

I'm leaning here with some others (and hoping) that it's the deliverer. If anything it looks more like it's based on NC design philosophy (90/45 degree angles) in terms of looks.

What if it's a Marauder SUV that went through Pimp my Ride?

it's not got enough dakka to be a Marauder, or a Raider for that matter, like a horn you can never have enough guns when your driving angry

If it's got angry TR hillbillies in the back it's definitely a Marauder though!

definitely looks like a maurader. tr specific jeep. be nice to have the jeeps come back in game they were fun to roll around in on ps1.

Imagine an HA with a LMG and Annihilator riding in the back, i want this now!

So... if this is the deliverer, or equivalent smaller troop transport, where would you like to see it be available from?

Personally I'd like to see it replace the sunderer on the general vehicle terminals and have the sunderer moved to the current tank terminals.

I think that would be an interesting change. Instant usefulness for the new vehicle (ie. the only multi-passenger vehicle you can get from an outpost) while also making Sundies more valued.

Planetside 1 Deliverer.

I definitely like this idea since I never really agreed with the decision to allow Sunderers to be pretty much spawned from everywhere with ease. I can also definitely see them do this though while increasing their value on the field.
