Yeah, I'm being needy. But I really don't want "cus-toe-mai-zay-shun" to boil down to choosing my class and fitting a sight/scope onto my weapon before entering the field of battle. Can't say I'm too hyped about engineers and medics getting stuck with carbine variants of weapons. I would think one should find a preference in modifying a rifle into a carbine, not simply get stuck with one. Now, if I can modify BACK to a rifle, then it's okay I guess. The modifications to go back into a rifle will probably require sacrificing other modifications, which could be argued as balancing (a medic with the same killing/customization capacity as a light assault guy might be a bit much, I'll admit.)I also really hope the extra armor padding isn't class specific, and they'll use other methods to determine a player's current class.

Brusi Re: Screenshots and Concept Art So that BigFO tower in the concept art is the new air tower?



I would surely hope that it is a heck of a lot biger than what we had in Planetside... considering the posibility of 1000's of air vehicles landing (possibly repairing) and taking off.



We would however lose the puzzle minigame of how to fit max mosquitos and reavers on the tower roof.

Hyncharas Re: Screenshots and Concept Art I don't think we'd see a tower that holds thousands... a few dozen, maybe, though.



That base shield in one of those images looks rather pathetic IMHO - give me something like an eerie wall of fire any day



To clarify, I'd like a barrier that looks like a wall of flames corresponding in colour to each empire, which ripples when friendlies pass through it, and angrily deflects enemies like a proper forcefield.

Tikuto Supersonic speed and Hypersonic weapon!? All PlanetSide2 aircraft being able to travel super-sonic would be amazing. Plus...

Using up the energy for the 'hyper-sonic melee-missle attack' would only give two options left for the pilot to either fallback to regain gunner energy or super-sonic the hell out of there. I see that it could work!
