No passenger by default. make a separate module for the passenger if there ever will be any passenger. Some sort of Cocoon and by voice command you can open your cocoon and start pew pewing. Just using your voice by saying De-cocoon to open up and Cocoon to close. Cocoon, De cocoon. Cocoon, De cocoon

There is no sense to add fighters, till maps are small like now.
Redline to redline in less than 4 seconds.

Cant wait to get one shotted by lolcrutchswarms because we dont have adv/proto hulls/mods

I'm all for bigger maps and larger numbers for those that want to tank, buggy and fly more (what I envision this character for) but also would like to see a instant map version of a capital ship boarding raid. Surely it wouldn't be that hard? corridors and rooms. maybe air ducts or whatever for scouts. Get us interested in what's promised for the future and a connection with EVE, plus also give a map dedicated for infantry
(though I imagine in the future we may get MTAC's bursting through ships as support)

Just a thought..

Oh noes! I figure the best strategy would be to make a quick turn around a building so those swarmys can smack against the wall.

lol funny guy

The swarms will still follow you around the building

Lies!

If you care about any vehicle of any kind coming in this game, you better be advocating for vehicle/AV balance. That's assuming you don't want to see prototype fighter jets getting shot down by militia swarm launchers.

Can't wait to zoom around in a speeder. Hey CCP, will you have a seat for the passenger? It would be cool to have someone blast away while I redline. Maybe throw on some guns on the speeder that the operator can only use?

I'm interested in seeing how you will work Fighters in the game. Air battles just sound so cool.

The future of Dust...it's looking better and better

i think they have to be careful with the Lore of eve as the ships as far as i know dont generally have room for corridors and such since the ships are piloted via a single Pod which interfaces with the rest of the ship.

Having said this i know some capital ships do have hangors for other ships inside, but i'm not up on how "technically" people get in and out of such situations, so i'm slightly expecting someone to come on and correct me.

They have crew, living, quarters and yes, corridors. The smallest ship in Eve is almost the size of an mcc, so we could have a level inside a medium ship, like a battlecruiser, it would fit. Crew for smallest ships is around 2-3 guys if it has a pod and way more if not. Having a pod do not imply in having no crew or corridors, it only means you need way less crew, but even the smallest gallente frigate usually still require someome else besides the captain in the pod. Capital ships have room for thousands and could support epic battles inside them.

Don't get me wrong I would love to fly fighters however should we not be focused on getting all of the racial dropsuits and weapons out first? We are talking about skipping over so much of the groundwork here.

Right now we need to get the racial variants in.

Lets be honest. The fighter is going to be some dev's little pride and joy, and he/she is going to innocuously buff the thing with stats that look balanced on paper but blow everything out of the water. Like Flaylocks. Or LogiLAVs. And then after 6 months of community bitching CCP will release a blog to the tune of "we really thought it was going to be balanced, not completely overpowered. But we promise to take a look soon(tm)"
