How about a pair of Anti-Grav boots. When active, they would cause the MAX to hover, increasing its movement/strafing speed and allowing it to move over water.

Would fit the Vanu's focus on maneuverability.

Not bad!

Naturally it should be limited in usage, so it wont be the default way of VS MAX moving around. I don't want minimagriders

Very good idea. I like that!

I have updated our article with all the latest questions!

Hey Matt; will there be vehicle entry/exit animations as there were in PS1?

[Hamma]

We already know the answer to that one and it is no

He's stated it would add quite a bit of development time into the game and it's not in the cards.

[blbeta]

Don't care much about animations, but hope there is a timer of some sort implemented. Just want to make sure people can't hop in a vehicle and then hop right out to shoot and then back in again.

[Hamma]

That was mentioned in the Q&A as well they may have a spin up time on vehicles.

Vanu maxes need jump jets. I know the pilots whine about it, because it is something they can't hovergib like they do with cloakers, AMS's, and anything else they can find that can't shoot back or move, but Vanu MAX's still need'em.

Honestly, I think giving them jump jets would take away too much of the advantage Light Assault troops need to stay competitive. As far as I know, LA can't carry any AV weapons, so using their jetpacks to stay out of the death range is their only defense against MAXs.

I used to run over Vanu MAX armors in MID AIR. Nothing, I mean NOTHING, can stop a Galaxy with full afterburners engaged apart from an entire regiment of anti air rockets.

..... I had a full load of passengers at the time of the impact too.... they felt a very very large bump in mid flight.

So where's this write up of everything that was said? I intended on doing this originally as it was going on but held back because it appeared covered. Bit flakey. I'd do it now but im away for several days. It's not particularly possible through my phone.

I think this guy's on to something...

A: We may have to institute a cool down on MAXes although we don't have one at the moment... like many things we're going to really see where the rubber meets the road once we get to betA:

Right now turrets can be placed virtually anywhere, but some restrictions may be added if we find it being heavily exploited in betA:

A: once we're reasonably sure that we won't do any character wipes we might unlock commerce during betA:

That's pretty coincidental that the only letters that were randomly capitalized happen to be in the word BetA.

Did no-one ask about an update on the region lock situation?
