Rofl, how did you manage to get it in that tree/wall thing? Some zoning bug?
Im not in a tree or wall, i was in the air, i drove to the genrep then it suddenly fell out the sky lol
EDIT: Gotta love my freezer cannon
OMG ITS RIZZZEH TTTEH HAXXX0RZ!!!!
LOLOLOLOL!!
WROOOOOM!!!!
'I JUST FELL FRAM TEH SKI!!!'
YA RITEEE!!!! LOLOLOL!
i miss the rank bug, i remember when itth was a like, 120/53 tank for like 2 weeks....lol
Gah! Got me all hopeful there for a moment.........
While we are talking about gliders, does anyone understand the logic behind them being based on int and not dex?

Actually yes I think I do. Ever read a flight sim manual? I'd imagine understanding the principles of flight would be highly important to any pilot of an airborn vehicle, and such understanding would be more demanding of intelligence rather than reflexes. The dynamics of lift and thrust and the understanding of the effects being airborn has on a vehicle are something a real life pilot has to study before being allowed into the air.
Yeah my brother is a helicopter pilot so I know how advanced that is, however, have you ever flown a hang-glider or anything of the like? Its just about motorics, getting a feel for the wind. It has absolutely zero to do with thinking.
Then again I wouldnt accuse my brother of being smart, hes not slow either just.. average. *shrug*
To be honest no I've never flown a hanglider (fear of ground rushing up quickly to meet me you understand) . But I'm hoping that Neocron Gliders will be a leetle more advanced than a hang glider. I don't relish the thought of having to go to Canyon to find a cliff high enough to jump off to start flying......
From what ive seen they are hang-gliders with a motor, dont remember what theyre called in english but those exist now. You can take off from the ground with one of those i believe, never it or talked to anyone who tried it tho.
That's depressing....... no Mechs.... Gliders are small flying tents.... next you'll be telling me the rocket trike is really a toddlers tricycle with a big hollow stick on the front.......
I was under the impession it was going to be some kind of hovering bomber craft, but clearly I was mistaken. Ah well, back to Tribes 2.

ultra light's, or some such..
glider's are pretty easy to take off, it's just keeping them up and not crashing into the hard stuff that's hard..

Yes. To stop PEs leeching them off spies like they've leeched every other cool toy spies ever got except construction.

highly ignorant....Perhaps you should look at yourself..You think gliding involves no thought? then perhaps to fly a glider he needs no brain..Of course its all reflexes, jesus...
Hoverbikes can fly as well :lol:

Exactly what are you replying to? My brother is a helicopter pilot, he is no einstein but hes not stupid either, hes pretty average. I never talked about him flying a hangglider, I dont think hes ever tried that but I could be wrong. If something in my post confuses you then speak up so we can get it sorted out.

But its ok for monks to leech on them? Regardless of that, it would be nice to see some kind of realism tied into the balance fixes KK implement. Imo this is just as stupid as implementing a some bigass shouldermounted cannon that ignores PPU defences and then make it a dex weapon based on pistol combat. See the problem?

Because then even tanks would be able to fly gliders?
Maybe a mixture of Int and Dex would be a good solution, so only spies and pes can use it... the bombers and air carriers reqs are ok, they require a fairly high amount of Int (was something around 90 if I remember correctly), and I think thats perfectly alright because to fly a bomber you have to know the function of each of those 100000 control panels :D
Imo the bomber should be for spies only, and the regular glider for Spies and PEs. I wont be able to use neither, but making em for spies and monks is just silly.
Monks cant use all the gliders.
monks can use the first and second level of gliders. thats it :)
Am I the only one that thinks its weird that the gliders are for monks but not for PEs? Wizards with hanggliders? Gimme a break.
PEs can use them, just need to gimp themselves loads

GIMPED wizards. A monk who wants to fly a glider is going to have practically no agility, and monks don't have the con for athletics.
Why can't you just accept, for once, that some things are meant to be used for spies only? You're a JOAT, remember? Oh that's right, JOAT means you get to use everything good about spies but still have better defence than a tank. :rolleyes:
Did you miss the part where I said that Im not going to use it or are you just trying real hard to be an ass anyway? I dont give a flying fuck if _I_ can use it or not. I want it to be for Spies and possibly PEs, but not for monks.
umm.. my monk can use the level 1 glider.. and still hit the softcap for runspeed.. considering hes a ppu the small hit on con isnt a big problem.
ummm was that screenie about that rank 127/xx...
because i got that about 2 days ago :wtf:
oh and about gliders... well , its kinda stupid. i mean , someone who can drive a tank and a troop carrier really shouldnt have trouble with a microlite thingy... of course it starts the whole debate of "should there be a piloting skill" because when you think about it , using a bomber is nothing like using a tank.
but if there is going to be VHC based glider REQ's the best gliders should be little above tank / troop carrier requirements. Otherwise it again it screws PE's over for a new object. again.
(i have 65 VHC and if i cant use big glider thingys , its going cause im not staying gimped for the low end gear of another class)
and new objects add more life to a game.
OMG HAX
