Paratrooping from the galaxy

[JohnClark]

I searched through but really couldn't find anything on this. Will you be able to para-drop your guys from the galaxy, so that if an LZ is really hot you can just have them jump instead of trying to land?

[Navaron]

I'm pretty sure that's how it works. You have a kinetic Dampenere that keeps you from becoming paste, so you don't have to worry about chutes.

[JohnClark]

Awesome, time to find me a squad of paratroopers.

[Navaron]

Yep, Im all about HALO openings.
if you go NC we can gang bang some vanu

[Hamma]

Yea it will probably be a valid tactic.. you can also drop buggys out i think the devs mentioned

[Navaron]

hey Hamma,

I don't know if you saw a couple of my other threads, but I asked a few times, when you are in freefall can you move? Can you direct you body at all? Cause if you jumped from a droppod at max alt., as soon as possible, just outside of the soi, could you move enough to land in base? Also, about how high will the KD's kick in?

Paratrooping will be intense

Wah, you don't take damage from falling???? What the hell I saw a screenshot that said you took 1 damage from falling, maybe the guy in the screenshot didn't have armor on but still.

Heh. Need a super heavy transport that can drop a tank and a squad of ground pounders.

[snipe]

you take some damage from falling, but it wont kill you

You can drop buggies out of galaxies? I would assume other vehicles then too? What about VS vehicles some of them hover... that would be sweet if you could drop them out really high and then hover away in them while slowly losing altitude!

Do the vehicles have some sort of KDs then too? So many questions...

[�io]

Yeah i'm hoping you still take 20-40% damage for troops and 40-50% damage for vehicles from falls. If not landing your galaxy becomes useless unless it's for a pickup. And we will see way too many airborn tanks and MAXs.

whatever excuse is used a tank falling from a transport from 50,000ft should not sustain atleast 50% damage.

Hey that's Admiral stupid to you buddy!!
