What about you?

I liked the idea behind the name Dyson, but it literally took 60 seconds for people to start photoshopping vacuum images. So it needed to be changed.

I definitely dig the name "Scythe" and I liked it before I even got to see it. Then after seeing it, the name fit even more beautifully. Elegant but deadly.

The only thing that will make it look better is seeing it in my crosshairs.

You mean near your crosshairs.

No, no, no, he means watching it explode into tiny little pieces and knowing with great satisfaction that there is one less VS scum he will have to deal with.

I don't like a VS flyer being named "Scythe" because the Dark Skyes (TR outfit) mascot is the Reaper.

Don't fear it.

Like the seasons? But what about the winds or the summer rain?

Yes. We can be like they are.

Open terrain can go with the 1:1 ratio, but bases 3:1.

Totally agree with those numbers, there should also be a stealthy way to take the base or at least weaken it with special forces but this should happen rarely and be EXTREMELY difficult. Like ghost hacking only way harder and needing more coordination and team work with others, like a special forces ghost team attack or something.

Special forces are usually flown into a battle-zone, and yet you have said before that aircraft shouldn't be able to get close to a base without being shot down soo.. How do the special forces get in?

I personally don't think you should need 3 times as many people attacking as the defenders have in order to win, because that promotes mindless zerging which is no fun for anybody. Yes give the defenders some AI help to give them an advantage, but at the end of the day, this game is about skill and teamwork, so the outcome should be decided by who has the better players, not who has the most...

Special forces are not always flown in over enemy held territory, or if they are they are flown in stealth aircraft such as are new secret stealth blackhawk helicopters shown on cnn when one went down in Pakistan. And as I said stealth aircraft should be able to get over a base just fine. But other wise yes a regular aircraft should get shot down long before it gets over a well defended enemy base. If they use a conventional aircraft they would get inserted just out side its defenses and have to hump there way in. Or just do a ground insertion from the beginning like with assault buggies or quads, something small that can slip by unnoticed and maybe stay off radar.

What we are trying to say is you should have both, better skilled players and more of them to take a well defended base. Not just a couple smart players or just a zerg, but BOTH or you don't stand a chance. Unless you use those few smart players in the fashion I noted above. And I totally agree this game should be about skill and team work.
