Mounted Guns?

[Bighoss]

does anyone know if there are gonna be mounted guns to defend bases or towers or road blocks? No first person shooter should be without these. Nothing more satisfying

[LesserShade]

well to me it sounded like those base turrets that are on bases have to be manned unless you have the tech center base at which point they become automated.

Road blocks would rule though

[Hamma]

Yea only think I know of is the turrets.

Which are automated when you own an amp station, and manned when you dont. (either way they can be manned)

[Arshune]

Make an ACE into an auto turret and dump it in the middle of the road. INSTANT ROADBLOCK!

[Subliminal]

dumb question...
whats an ACE?

[TheGreatCarbini]

the ACE is the enginners little swiss army knife. You can make it a mine, a remote explosive, a turret, or a motion sensor.

But you can only deploy a spitfire within a friendly SOI (Sphere of Influence).

To use an ACE, you need the "Combat Engineering" cert (which itself requires the "engineering" cert). An ACE can be deployed to become:

1) A spitfire turret. Basically, an automated assault rifle that doesn't run out of ammo. A couple of these guys can take down a MAX (or so the annecdote goes).

2) A mine. IFF recognition. Visibile. Big badda boom.

3) Motion detector. Running enemies set them off. If your turrets are automated, they can fire on infantry only when picked up by motion detectors.

4) a "Boomer". A remote-detonated charge. I think this is the only thing you can create with an ACE outside a friendly SOI.

won't there be mounted guns on gun towers?

[Sputty]

No, towers will have to be manned

[Deadlock]

my mind could be full of stinky dog pooh but i think i remember reading that some towers had turrets u could man on them. but my guess is that they're never comp. controled because u dont take over towers by hacking them to ur empire
