Gameplay: Lodestars: Returners?

[NichyC]

I have been wondering this for a little while. Do you or don't you think that Lodestars are going to make a return in Planetside 2? Do you want them to?

At first I thought that is wasn't likely. And I also didn't want them to. But as I thought about it, I realized that I really do hope that Lodestars make a return. They added such an interesting dynamic to the game that no other vehicle could. I think that they really should re-implement them because they were so essential in the first game. They were also really important for many tactics and play styles so I now think that they do have a good chance of making a return.

What do you think?

I hope that there is a futuregrade of the Galaxy that is basically a pilot, tailgunner, and a Supreme Commander style lift bay system. No need to land Lodestars anymore, just hover down over the vehicle you want to lift and snatch and grab.

Might make for an interesting tactic versus enemy vehicles if they could also be pulled off the ground and dropped somewhere... inconvenient.

^ This. Troll lifting would be great. Maybe the crew would bail and you could take an enemy vehicle or accrue an enemy vehicle column for infiltration and disruption fo enemy lines.

That actually sounds really cool!
