My first Time.......

.....that I see (pervs) a skilled NC Chap with a Phoenix run down a fleeing Galaxy ship will be a moment I will not soon forget.
The idea of some NC troop being flown over by the Galaxy, turning to watch it go and firing. The Galaxy pilot banks to the right, then dives and banks left, but the Phoenix also follows that path and catches up to get a hit. Woo!

Which bring me to this question.
Can anyone give me a guess on how log the Phoenix is active? Could it pass by the Galaxy on a miss caused by fine flying by the pilot but perform a loop to return?
My guess is about 15 seconds. Seems like enough time.
Count out to 15 by going One-onethousand Two-onethousand Three-onethousand.... and tell me if that sounds good.

Would be funny if the shooter lost track of time and it passed near himself but blew because of the timed fuse. and he killed himself with his own Phoenix.

Just dreaming of the cool in=game happenings.

We don't know much about the phoenix unfortunatly, as far as I know its been in a constant state of tweaking for some time

We know about as much about the phoenix as we do the MAG-rider. We know basicly how it's controled, but most of it's capabilities are unknown to us.

SJ said they were really balancing that one still so there's no telling as of now.

^^^ As stated, they can't seem to find a good balance for this gun, so they haven't told us much about it yet, since it is changing.

Yea, sounds about right. Anyone ever play NeoTFC and use the guided rocket? Or better yet the UT guided rocket. Expect that, with out the nuclear blast that follows.
