News: Higby tweets Mosquito Picture

[NapalmEnima]

I did some zoom-way-the-hell-in-and-poke-around myself. Noticed some things:


1) What is that lowest mosquito covering up? It looks like it might have a broken landing jack next to it. Looks kinda Vanu-ish.

2) There are several of those "placeholder or structure" things outside the base. Vehicle? Turret? They all seem to be pointed in the exact same direction.

New base design looks f*ng sweet!

for the first thing behind the Mossy looks like something base related, part of a bunker or the like, seems to have those landing strut legs.

for the second thing, no idea might just be some nice terrain additions for people to hide behind

Holy sheet! After I make sweet love to my computer monitor, I would like to extend any sexual favors to the Planetside Team! Although it may seem that I flame regularly, I am in fact not gay, but Love is blind and conquers all.

THANK YOU FOR PURDY GOODNESS AND MY HAPPYS FOR THE DAY! PLEASE LET ME PLAY NOW! KTHXBAI

[Jackale]

I am so overwhelmed

[Tikuto]

joy.

I is so happy, although I feel a little bad about vehicles not being restricted to first person view. I had a friend who I was trying to convince to play, but he says only if the flight mechanics were realistic(at least for sci-fi aircraft).

I can't fucking wait for the next base pic. Closeups please.

I always flew first person in PS1, although I did switch to 3rd person occasionally to get a better view.

The flight mechanics sound like they are a lot better, broader and more dynamic than they were in PS1, so I think he should be happy. Just so long as they make it as viable, or preferably even more viable than it was in PS1, to fly entirely in first person.

The option to toggle a free look camera mode inside the first person cockpit view would help a lot, to see what's going on around you faster and without having to rotate your vehicle. I don't mind if people have the option of third person flying, but I'd prefer to not need to switch to third person to maintain a level tactical playing field.

As someone else pointed out, that looks very familiar to the support "strut" type of objects around the towers we have seen.

All I can say is... pure nerdgasm.

[beekergunship]

I pop back and forth from third person while flying mainly because the camera is fixed. Most of my air cav work is covering the rest of the squad on the ground. It would be great if they supported the TrackIR so I can keep my squad in sight in first person as I do a pylon turn around them.

BTW I hope to see Shadows of Auraxis continued in PS2 and would gladly contribute

Just hope they are able to keep the pops relatively high for the years to come!
