Whadya think, huh? Great idea!

Not at all dude... We - HAV drivers already suffer if there is some persistent pilot who hunts HAV. We need to hide under buildings and HAV which stand still great target for infantry.

With jet fighets there will be no life at all.

Or... there can be anti-air missle tank )

They already stated that Jet Fighter-like ships are coming along with Gunships, MTACS, Jet Packs (?) and many other vehicles, i read somewhere that there will be around 20 variation of vehicles on release

Whoah, whoah, slow down there. I've seen no official mention of Jet Packs or Gunships, and the planned count of vehicle classes on release is 10. We haven't had any new information since then.

We'll probably get combat oriented aircraft but I doubt they'll be like jet fighters. They'll use vector thrust physics like dropships.

The fighter in the FanFest video appeared to have flight characteristics of a winged aircraft in addition to vertical takeoff capabilitiy, much like a Harrier Jump Jet. It was certainly far faster and far more manuverable than a dropship.

Whether it has air breathing jet engines or plasma ion engines like the dropship wouldn't matter.

I am looking forward to finding out if they will be capable of the standard air combat manuvers that modern jets are. If so, it will usher in the role of true figher jocks who will have to learn what a Split-S, Scissors, and High and Low Yo-yo is all about.

you know you can unlock afterburners I mean you cant buy them but it in your skills but a dropship with afterburners would be cool but not a jet lol

Dude, that is my DREAM! If it comes to this, screw the ground. I am gonna be up there all the time. True flyboys know what to do. And by the gods of New Eden i will rule the skies!

Cool story bro! Good luck fighting other pilots

Can someone link me this video? I cannot find it.

That's why i said pilots as a good dropship gunner can kill tanks so fighters won't ne much harder( if you good with a rail or blaster)

I would imagine the release of this type of aircraft will probably coincide with the introduction of a SAM turret for HAVs, or something along those lines.

I will totally forgive tanks being unnerfed hp/resistance wise if i get jumpjets to chase them with.... oh gawd i'd love jump jets. or jet pack whatever it gets called, i could see myself having a lot of fun with AV grenades, a rifle and JJs.

^ccp we don't need jetpacks!

Gotta agree on this one. Jumpjets are great for Tribes and MechWarrior, but I really don't think they'd fit here.

Imagine dark void as multiplayer

Inb4tehbashing: dark void was a damn good, but glitchy sci fi shooter that would've been better with multiplayer

Listen dude, DON'T TALK ABOUT MY FAVORITE GAME! As they say in the south when you sleep with your brother's sister "how dare you make babies with our mom"

Note: i had to throw that lame joke in but seriously, bash Dark Void again and I'll hunt you till the ends of new eden and beyond.

It was one of those you either loved or hated, man. I've been a fan of Armored Core for years, and all those games are the same way.

Armoured core improved over time but nothing game changing

DUST gets a full airforce!

Nah see, what's gona happen is, after Dust is released and has been running alongside EVE for several years, CCP will release a new game. A jet fighter/orbital attack fighter game, wherein you can fly all the way from ground level to support dust bunnies, all the way up and out of atmo where you can then attack EVE players in orbit.
/insane dream.

And it would be called "Mist" or something abstract like that.

Hopefully some day they'll have a game where you can own a transport ship, land, visit towns, wheel and deal for cargo, take on passengers, then take off and travel to other planets.. outrun imperial scum, and even dump contraband when you are about ot get boarded. Basically be Han Solo.

Are you kidding me?

Tanks>Infantry>Dropships/Other

I hope they can be customized with large turrets like blasters, railguns and missile launchers. However, because they move so quickly, fighters are forced to fire in short bursts, requiring extra damage as a result. I suggest that fighters get a 1.5-2x damage multiplier along with a 1.5-2x overheating penalty, so that a fighter pilot can deal more damage quickly, but preventing sustained fire with such high damage. Furthermore, the cooldown time would not be reduced, requiring that you wait the same amount of time to fire again for only half the time firing.

Ya know....I saw a video a few years ago where CCP actually had EVE ships flying to the surface of the planet then back out. It was when planetary Interaction was introduced. So I dont think its TOO much of an insane dream

Well... awesome. I was under the impression the technicalities of jumping between 2 entirely different games would be a nightmare to work out, but if that's the case then I'm impressed.

Now they can also start thinking about the next game/expansion after the jetfighter/orbital attack craft game (working title Mist (thanks Rhadiem)), which will be an RTS where you issue orders to troops on the ground and playing in seperate matches on the same planet, calling in support and abilities that can hamper the enemy team or that buff your own side (think Ruse). Players wouldn't have to follow those orders of course, but there'd be massive incentives for doing so. Eventually you'd work up to coordinating every player on the ground, in the air, and in space across all 3 games as you launch full scale planetary/solar invasions.

Yes, this is the extent of my insane dream.

Forget making new models and just expand on the fighters in eve, but put them on here

Nooooooo. Those things are huge. Flying them would be about as exciting as watching paint dry, and the whole point of EVE players being able to provide airstrikes is that those packages are heavier than what we can field.

Why does that 3 year old demo look better than beta we're currently playing?
