New Transport

[Otherick]

well I feel there should be a empire specific tranport.

TR

Largest amount of people that it can carry. Due to their concept the more the better so it cant hold maxes. is armed with 2 machien guns like the prowler, it has Medium Speed, and least armour. It can "spike" its tires to that it can go over higher elevated land types like steep and i mean steep, hills since its wheels have spikes on it

NC

Has the most armour, but is indeed the slowest, can carry more then the VS but less the the TR. Is armed with 1 pheonix. It can lower its speed to 50% for 30% more armour.

VS

Carries the least amount of people, has medium armour, and is armed with a weapon that does a large difference from the pulsar and it does switch between types, it can float above water like the thresher, High Speed.

I think that these are indeed my best ideas in awhile negative and positive posts are welcome

Floating over water is an enormous advantage. It should not be restricted to one empire.

edit: Yes, the Deliverer can float. That's not really relevant.

[Otherick]

well the Thresher can float, and the magrider can kinda float, but do i see any magriders coming out of the NC vehicle bays? no ofcourse not cause their Vanu, see my point?

[Otherick]

o yeh forget to mention it carries the least amount of people, so thats only a few people floating across the water

[Incompetent]

TR is a gimped sunderer, NC is just plain gimped and VS fills the same roll as the Deliverer, which is a tiny god, and is such useless before it's concept is drawn up.

[Otherick]

I actualy thought they we're quite good

[SilverLord]

We need more assault vehicles than transport. Our offensive is already gimped by too many of one vehicle.

[Firefly]

Any APC or IFV with machine guns as the primary defense is a piece of shit. If you're going to gimp the TR even further, at least make the weapons decent. Here comes the factoids and then the rant. It's in no way directed at the original author.

For example: a Bradley IFV has a 25mm "chain gun", which is not the same as a 12mm chaingun-gatling. It fires either armor-piercing or high-explosives ammo (note to devs: AP does not mean it doesnt kill infantry). It also has multiple fire modes, to include single-shot. The Bradley *ALSO* features a 7.62 M240 co-axial machine gun, which means it's mounted next to the cannon. And finally, the Bradley also fires a TOW anti-tank missile (not a gay dumbfire missile). The Bradley is designed to carry troops INTO battle, and it's ALSO designed to provide heavy-duty combat fire support to them as they dismount and fight. The Bradley is capable of engaging and defeating almost any armored vehicle (including some tanks) that it encounters. It's an assault vehicle and a transport.

Anything that comes out should be at LEAST on-par with this weapon system. Not below it. Fast rate of fire is fine, but don't puss out and slap down some shitbag piece of crap 12-mm rotary chaingun with that huge cone of fire bullshit or a mounted MCG knockoff (9mm), because that's fucking worthless to almost anyone. And the constant nerf-beatings and gimpings that the TR get handed are really pissing many of us off, and it's time to stop fucking around with the Red-and-Black. If anyone sees this and designs something around it, please stop being a choir boy and start satisfying the TR customer base.

[Otherick]

ok sorry seeing as i never piloted a prowler or driven in one I guess i should have been more accurate to the design, but they cant be used more otfen then a battle tank, so maybe it would be better to "limit" the weapon system

[Majik]

@Veteran - Vehicles that can go over water, and maxes that can go over walls is the only advantage the VS were designed to have. The TR got speed, the NC got power, the VS got movement. So anything besides a deliverer that can move on water should be empire specific to the VS.

[Rbstr]

yeah the TR have most armor, slowest, fastest firing vechs
NC have medium armor, med speed, harded hitting weps
VS have fasted, least armor, medium weps (and Anti grav stuff)

[JakeLogan]

Most armor my ass the Vanguard has more armor then the Prowler.

[Fenrys]

A Bradly using DU rounds can take out a main battle tank IF it gets close enough. However, a MBT can hit targets 10+ miles distant.

I think a weapon akin to the Magrider's driver's gun mounted on a APC would be appropriate.
