And now everyone is saying that the g-ams should be removed. And it will be removed, because of the whining.


This is mostly FAO Figgy.

I don't think the GAL spawn ability should be removed. It should require teamwork to enable the spawn point though.

I don't know if that cert value for the G-AMS is final but it costs 500 I believe. That has to be someone pretty dedicated to support to drop that many certs on it.

After I spend my certs on the laser dot and reflex, I'm going in for it.

500 points sound very cheap for a dedicated galaxy cert that allows tactical positioning of a spawn point to a degree the bus drives can Only dram about

Heh, whining? A lot of the new people now for the first time seem to experience true base sieges and field battles, hectic fights over territory. It doesn't mean the Gal spawnpoint has to disappear completely though and I never said it should (!). It did need to be restricted a bit because it avoided defenses too easily and made zergs impossible to deal with by small groups. This version is far easier to deal with as many have noted already.

Noticed people on PS2 forums were thrilled by the effects of the change. Still afraid of pure Sundy transport role being competed out. So still prefer a pure ams.

Galaxy spawning should IMO be limited to squads (at most platoon) rally point. That would interfere least with the hot drop role and avoids AMS obsoletion. That would make them have their own niche without bringing the entire empire.

Role definition is important, otherwise in half a year we are back where we started.

Re: Thoughts on new S-AMS


I would like to give my feedback for the AMS spawning but im having a slight problem. NO ONE fucking uses it much less deploys it where I can actually spawn from it. Before I always had plenty of gal spawn points.

So cert it and use it, its only 5 cert points. There is a lack of them because people who came into the game don't realize how useful the AMS was. They always just assumed it was a bad idea because it was from PS1 and all the vets wanted it. We need to smack them and show them that everything from PS1 wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

It just reinforces my opinion that this game absolutely does not need a cloaked spawn point.

There is cert for carrying one more medkit that cost nearly 5000 certs. 500 for GAMS is nothing.

If I want ninja squad action I would rather bring a Sunderer. G-AMS is exactly the zerg type of spawnpoint.

That's actually the point you were making in a thread not so distant.


EDIT: Also 10/500... I'm after a good start.

Re: Thoughts on new S-AMS


I've been pumping points into the Basilisk guns for the sundy hoping they provide more protection than they do right now. Im up to the second cert of increased ammo capacity. The other guns for the sundy in the store don't seem that appealing when trying to deal with air/veh and infantry.

I really like that both Gal and BangBus can be used. I really think that the cert cost should be higher though at least for the Sundy, as I understand it's already going to be way high for the Gal.

Its working great. It doesn't need a cloak. ITs better without it to be honest. The fights are more straightforward.
