Empire Specific Aircraft

Sandman · 2003-07-25, 12:22 AM

I was bored so i decided id try and come up with some empire specific aircraft. The VS is made to make up for their crappy AA abilities. The TR is an AI aircraft, and the NC a AV/AI.

Vehicle Name: Stingray
Vehicle Type: Heavy Assualt Gunship
Cert Cost: 4
Source: Vanu Sovereignty
Occupants: 1
Armor: 900
Trunk Size: 11x15
Max Speed: 190 KPH
Afterburner Speed: 240 KPH
Primary Weapon: 12mm Rotary Chaingun
-Ammunition Name: 12mm Ammunition
-Rounds per Crate: 50
-VS MAX: Average
-VS Infantry: Excellent
-VS Vehicles: Average
Secondary Weapon: Air-to-Air Missle Pod
-Ammunition Name: Stingray Rocket
-Rounds per Crate: 16
-VS MAX: Excellent
-VS Infantry: Poor
-VS Vehicles: Excellent

The A2A missles of the Stingray have a range of 200m and can lock on and follow their target. You dont have to keep your crosshairs on the target to keep the lock.

Vehicle Name: Cobra
Vehicle Type: Heavy Assualt Gunship
Cert Cost: 4
Source: Terran Republic
Occupants: 2 driver, gunner
Armor: 1000
Trunk Size: 11x15
Max Speed: 140 KPH
Afterburner Speed: 200 KPH
Primary Weapon: 12mm Rotary Chaingun (controlled by driver)
-Ammunition Name: 12mm Ammunition
-Rounds per Crate: 50
-VS MAX: Average
-VS Infantry: Excellent
-VS Vehicles: Average
Secondary Weapon: Indirect Grenades (controlled by gunner)
-Ammunition Name: Indirect Cobra Grenades
-Rounds per Crate: 50
-VS MAX: Poor
-VS Infantry: Excellent
-VS Vehicles: Poor

It utilizes basicaly the same weapon as the Pounder MAX, but made for an aircraft.

Vehicle Name: Lightbearer
Vehicle Type: Heavy Assualt Gunship
Cert Cost: 4
Source: New Conglomerate
Occupants: 1
Armor: 1200
Trunk Size: 11x15
Max Speed: 110 KPH
Afterburner Speed: 190 KPH
Primary Weapon: 35mm Heavy Machinegun
-Ammunition Name: 35mm Ammunition
-Rounds per Crate: 50
-VS MAX: Average
-VS Infantry: Excellent
-VS Vehicles: Average

The Lightbearer has the same weapon as the driver of a Liberator.

(yeah i know the names suck) Im not sure of how over/under powered they would be.

Wow, put a lot of thought into it, but shouldn't it go into the Game Discussion forum, not the Lounge? Might get more response in that section then here.

EineBeBoP · 2003-07-25, 01:09 AM

we need a heavy transport, that is a heavily armored aircraft with open canopys and 4 or 6 max positions. The maxes get locked into the aircraft, and can shoot down at people / up at aircraft. that'd be a lotta fun, and can be used as a max transport.
Kinda like the transport from tribes 2.

what you think?

Squeeky · 2003-07-25, 01:16 AM

That is awesome, would get a much better response in the game discussion (oops, said lounge). Simply PM Hamma with the URL of this thread and politely ask him to move it and i'm sure he will

Spider · 2003-07-25, 01:18 AM

You mean game disc right?

*cough* Wow the errors of squeeky

Sandman · 2003-07-25, 01:18 AM

I didnt put too much thought into to it, i was talking with my brother about ideas for different empire specific special assualt and aircraft.

Spider · 2003-07-25, 01:19 AM

oh! for the NC on you might wanna add a secondary weapon

Cause for the moment it bites

OOOHHH shotguns! lol

Sandman · 2003-07-25, 01:22 AM

i couldnt think of a second weapon if you have an idea for one then post it.

Onizuka · 2003-07-25, 01:49 AM

those are really good...... i just dont know how many people they hold (did i miss it??)

Sandman · 2003-07-25, 01:59 AM

i forgot to put that in, i will edit it.

slytiger · 2003-07-25, 01:59 AM

They need to come out with a heavy transport before more smaller aircraft. And there should be a anti-aircraft aircraft with missiles that lock on but is not good at ground units at all.

Sandman · 2003-07-25, 02:01 AM

look at the stingray, it has air 2 air missles, but sucks vs infantry

Secondary Weapon: Air-to-Air Missle Pod
-Ammunition Name: Stingray Rocket
-Rounds per Crate: 16
-VS MAX: Excellent
-VS Infantry: Poor
-VS Vehicles: Excellent

NC secondary = auto-insult

"BAM!"

"WTF??? WHO KILLED ME"

"(vvs) Sorry!" or "(vvz)Heh, Zero Chance!"

Sure, those are decent, but who in the world would pay 5 certs for them? The 12mm is what's used on the skeeter. And MAXes are classed as vehicles. There's no aircraft there either. 12mm sucks ass, at least a 20mm. That or more than one gun, like 3 12mms in a triangle of carnage, mmm...
