Fighter Confirmed

So we know 4 vehicles:
LAV
HAV
Dropship
Fighter

players controlling fighters in space against eve player ships and stations. considering the different combat systems that will be interesting.

Wait, you asked him how many vehicles there would be in the game at launch...

And he replied saying you can spawn as many as you want, there is no limitation.



Me thinks there was a miscommunication.

So either they are down to just LAV/HAV/Dropship with multiple ROLES for each one or he answered a different question.

The video shows a fighter being used.

MTACS have been mentioned.

I guess I could see a light and heavy version of boats if ocean planets but probably not for some time.

Gunships (like dropships but for blowing stuff up instead of moving guys from A to B) would be nice.

I just hope that LAV/HAV/Dropship is not the only stuff we are getting.

can't see worth a thing in that video.

fighters are very likly as i believe the immortal clone video showed players controlling fighters in space against eve player ships and stations. considering the different combat systems that will be interesting.
boats/hovercraft/submarines are a maybe for aquatic battles. but hovercraft can be used on land as well.

Got it, thanks Mido.

I definitely think that they need Gunships that fly like dropships but have weapons on them and cannot transport people. basically an attack helicopter. At most have a pilot and a gunner position, or even just a pilot who controls the weapons.

Well, maybe that will be one of the Roles for the Dropships, making them more of an attack vehicle than a troop transport.

EDIT: Also don't forget that the Fighters are VTOL that are capable of hovering and flying at low altitudes, so they're basically going to be a Helicopter/Jet combo. Just like the one's in BF2142, Crysis 1, and PlanetSide

Decked out dropships have a good punch already I think and kinda like em with the role they have. Personaly I was hoping for an attack chopper and/or fighter somthing to fill the role of air dominace. But then this is coming from a guy who already likes the dropship alot as it is. Its alot of fun for some getting guys on target and seeing them skydie out onto hostiles.

How would a dropship become not a dropship and instead a gunship? Im confused.

Also, I didn't see anywhere that the fighters were capable of just hovering. THat would fit the bill nicely as well.

I remember some years ago, 07/08 maybe? ccp had a video showing atmospheric flight, think they used a frig for it

If you think about it, some sort of motorcycle would fit into a "scout vehicle" classification. At first, I figured they would include like a ATV or something similar.

Right now, IDC how many classes of vehicles release, so long as we get Amarr / Minmatar versions of SOMETHING
As for fighters, fighter-bomber variants are a must. Need air-to-ground capability or there will be just no purpose.
MTACs are up in the air. My crystal ball sees a standard version with simple hands, and another with big guns instead. I now see this one getting the Minmatar version.
That's what i'd like. Let me restate though, this is DUST, not the Second Gallente-Caldari War! As much as I love the powers of flight, i'd take an Amarr HAV over fighters right now.

The jet bikes in Starhawk are awesome, please copy these.
