The above text was accompanied by the NC logo. We expect that this theme week will follow the same timeline as the last week with a Comm Link tomorrow.

It has been revealed on the Facebook Fan Page for PlanetSide 2 that this week's theme will be the New Conglomerate!

Tapman Re: Theme this week New Conglomerate If the devs decide to make the Scythe fly the way that the original ones did in Battlestar Galactica, it should be able to roll much more tightly than the other empires. Changing direction would be easier too, but the weapons and armor should be lighter to balance it. I imagine it to be similar the replacement for the Thresher but put in the air so that a skilled AA player could manage to lock onto the damn thing instead of only allowing the TR to lock onto that pesky ground vehicle.



I'm fine with all of this because the Reaver is the most heavily armored/armed and I bet that a good pilot could work their skills into making it the ultimate threat in the sky.

Please for the love of all things holy, bring the Gauss and Particle cannons into Planetside 2. Make it an option for medium/heavy vehicles and as an empire-specific upgrade for non-mobile turrets.

Tapman Re: Theme this week New Conglomerate Talek Krell Originally Posted by I'm not so sure about the particle cannon. That was the one that was basically the mag "cannon" but better right? Seems like giving that to the NC as an option would kind of kill the uniqueness of the two empires.
