Empire Specific ANTs

[Marinealver]

Well posted this in Dev on the SOE forums however many people there are agressivly resistant to change. So I'll place this wishlist here.

Certificate Required Ground Support.

TR MULE ANT (Idealab Gunner Varient) Basicly this is the same idea as the armed varient of ANT. Figured it fits best with the vehicle charistic of TR as all vehicles have an extra gunner. Probibly not the most effective frontline vehicle the TR has to offer with nothing more than a Harasser with NTU storage but it could come in handy as a support of a base assault as the armed ANT to refil a drained base.

VS Hover ANT Well this is a no-brianer because every VS vehicle is a hover vehicle. Sacrafices some armor though for the hover ability.

NC Siphon ANT Well as the NC is an insurgent force so I figured a vehicle that undermines an enemy is probibly the best fit for empire charastics. The driver has a foward mounted NTU siphon with a 180 degree piviot similar to the BFR weapon. It can only drain a base down to 40% as with the BFR weapon. But hey what better strategy then steel from enemy?

thats a good idea but you should put some kind of driver controled weapon on the vs one.

Nah. The only armed verson of ANT is the TR one. You could call the NTU siphon a driver weapon on the NC verson but it really isn't any more of a weapon than a glue gun

Check the Tred abut the Ant Vareitns, with the Universal Use of NTU's and ther e a 2 maned ant with a light turet gun, more armor, and for hover steal the hover from the BF2142 Hover Tank ;)

I like this idea and don't know why so many people are against it. The same thing goes for the Sanctuary, actually...

Everything else about the empires from armor, weaps and vehicles has its own style, so there should be diversity.

Well go to the main discussion boards and it seems like they are against everything.

They're against everything simply because PS is not the way it was when it started; a game that SOE was actually bothered to produce quality content for... personally I don't mind us taking up the responsibility of designing good stuff for it, since the company has lost any interest in it except in terms of revenue.
