I figured the gunner position would be the more exciting position.  After all, the name makes the whole argument.  Gunner.

Just wondering, do we have any people here willing to be gunners?  I ask because many of the vehicles (liberator, etc.) aren't nearly as powerful without them, and I imagine many people find sitting in a gunner seat all day quite boring :P
I'll gun for anyone who asks.
Awesome.  And there was me thinking I would have to crash into things to actually contribute :P

And I find the pilot is the most exciting postition, but maybe that's just me.

Edit:  I wonder if you can name your vehicles, and have the name appear on the side.  That would be a cool feature, and one I would be willing to pay for.

Also volunteering for gunner duty. Too much responsibility piloting. I'd be bound to crash into something anyhow.

I'll be an engineer/medic. Cause that sorta appeals to me.

The gunner is kind of secondary, now that the pilot also controls the main gun (Vanguard). Even though, I like being a gunner, even if I get a measly anti-infantry peashooter.

Come to think of it, I'm probably going to go for reaver pilot/engy, so I can still be of support once I've been downed. Everybody wants an engy as a gunner :) Also, all the MAXes will love me.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Due to the large amount of gunners, we could use Galaxy gunships as well.  They have four gunner mounts, that can be upgraded further by limiting troop capacity, turning it from a transport to a gunship.  This would make a good backup, as they are the only combat functional vehicle that uses transport resources.  And it would also be funny seeing the enemy getting butchered by simple transports :P

Nothing is "simple" about a Galaxy.  I think the Galaxy Gunship will likely become our main operational vehicle.  Go in, lay down massive fire, and bail out before it exploded.  Then continue on foot.  You can combine your air superiority with your ground invasion!

Sounds good to me.  So long as a Liberator fits into the plan somehow :P

Also I was watching one of the trailers, when I spotted a VS MAX suit standing on a scythe as it was dive bombing a base :)  Looks like vehicle surfing is IN (for now)

Well it's the only Conglomerate, so it's technically both the best and the very, very worst.
Also, am I the only one who thinks that name is silly? Republic, fair enough. Sovereignty, I'm getting slightly totalitarian vibes from that. But Conglomerate? AFAIK that's either some kind of business venture or a kind of rock.

If vehicle surfing is in, then forget all that.  We'll just load all the MAXs onto a Liberator and fly carefully fill tilt into the enemy base.

Even better, if we can get a couple of Lightning tanks on top, and then put some MAX suits on top of that.. It would be glorious  8)  (and heavy, but whats a few wrecked Liberators or the road to glory, eh?)

Are we all going to come together to take and defend territories? Like everyone piles into the area and swarms them?
