The Galaxy, king of the Air

I was just speculating, although rockets sounds better than nothing.

i also was speaking of Qanamil's post didn't mean to say that anyone put words in my mouth just specifying that i want to jump out of a galaxy 150ft in the air and fall to my doom or anyone i happen to land on

[Qanamil_Rafiki]

Glad we settled that.

I think you should be able to jump to your doom as well Anti. Make a game out of it, see who can get closest to hitting someone/something.

I could picture a bunch of guys jumping out the back of a dropship to their doom

If im flying the galaxy no one will jump out, we all die togeather in a fiery inferno....maybe i should stick to sniping....

If I'm piloting galaxy only ******* and pussies can jump out before there are some heads to make swiss cheese out of.

everyone keeps saying that we don't know what the cannons are, BUT!! we do, 75mm cannons x2, aka the lightnings main cannon! so they will be tank like rounds, and better on slower targets, ground.

I pointed that out two

[Lt AntiSmile]

hehehe oppsie

missed that part

And as i pointed out after he pointed that out. The lighting is a light attack/ escort vehicle so the galaxy won't be a huge destroyer type, it will be able to fend off some enemies but it's far from being an attack vehicle.

Just a thought since all of my points have been made....... Will the vehicles especially the aircraft have radar? Also... I believe the skeeters main role will recon and very light air support (repair too). Also I think the firing arcs on the "king of land and air" will not be on the x axis only.... unless i'm mistaken the base of the cannons are round which would indicate to me that they can go x,y and everything in between....... if the cannons are too restricted in movement then point defense would be hard and rely almost solely on the orientation of the landed galaxy and what about firing at the ground targets while landing that would require y axis movement.... just some thoughts (ummmm i guess i had more point that i though.... oh well)

Not 100% sure on the radar Probably only friendlies will show up. Like if your a ground troop you only see friendlies unless you have an implant i believe.

From the dev chat log thingy :

<+CTC|OoACoO> Or will there be advantages to plain old grunt infantry?

<@SmokeJumperPS> Grunt infantry can go in back doors and go inside buildings. Vehicles can't. Additionally, vehicles show up on radar. Soldiers don't (by default).

<@StrykerPS> Absolutely, OoACoO. They can also take shortcuts through very dense forests and such.

Hence yes vehicles will have radar and yes vehicles will show up on radar.
