Hello,

It is a curious idea, and I'll withhold judgement for now. I am within the ranks of people that want to see platoons added, exploits removed, and other things done BEFORE more added content though. They need to stick to past promises before tossing out other changes, or they need to only make official changes they actually plan to implement. Otherwise, they should keep such things quiet. It doesn't make customers happy when you don't deliver on your promises without reasonable excuses.

Just my 2 cents,

It seems pretty clear that what information we have to go on isn't nearly enough to form an accurate opinion.

Not that this is stopping anyone from going off half-cocked.

We have no idea how big the LLU is. Maybe it's so large only a MAX can carry it, and has to give up most (all?) of their ammo. At that point galaxies and sunderers become the transport of choice and we get even more emphasis on air as people frantically try to beat down the LLU-carrying gal.

Maybe the LLU is a custom vehicle... or can only be carried by that vehicle.

And just maybe it's a flag like T2/unreal/quake. But I seriously doubt it.

We don't know how detectable the LLU will be. Maybe it'll show on enemy radar. Maybe it'll show on the continent map. Maybe you'll have to eye-ball it.

Personally, I think a Big, radar-detectable flag-oid would be cool. Make it so that only a MAX could pick it up, at serious movement penalty (cargo loader, no longer able to fight, no autorun). Tweak the inventory of the Galaxy and sunderer so that only a sunderer can carry it. Then everyone has to play protect the sunderer (or the slowly crawling MAX with a serious ammo limit).

Could be very cool.

We don't have nearly enough to go on. So CHILL.

Sheesh. Kids these days.

"We'll describe this more fully in the coming days."

before sentencing the programmers how bout waiting till they fully explain what they're doing. then when you know what's coming, bitch or don't bitch.

all those changes sound interesting.

I agree. Sheesh. Have some patience peeps.

I also agree with this too. Oh well, it may be implemeted further down the road. Yes, it's disappointing that they didn't deliver on their promise...oh well....life (virtual) goes on

OMG the sky is falling the sky is falling!!

You people (most of ya) sure love to panic sheesh. I'm glad they are looking into gameplay changes and this could be hella fun with running battles and conveys outside of bases.

I'm just glad they are still working on it with the shitty population #'s on the servers lately.

I thinks its a bad idea. If they put it into the game its going to mess it up and i wont play to they get it out of there. What the Lattice Logic Unit is, is a big sign on your back that sais KILL ME. It would be hard to hold it for 5 minutes without being killed cuzz evrybody body wants u dead, then someone else gets it and it repeats. Its bad enough that they show u on the map and u glow but they slow u down as well its SUICIDE. If they do put it into the game(i pray they dont) they should atleast give u a ton of XP if u kill a guy with the Lattice Logic Unit or get it to your base.

Ya know, if there's somebody here who knows how to if we could send an e-mail to the dev team with a link on it to bring them to this thread then maybe, I caution maybe, they will read all of your opinions and decide not to implement the LLU. Just an idea.
