When close quarters I just hold down the trigger and spray those big fucking MAXs.

Back on topic though, the last couple nights I've played the Vanu have been able to hold their own, especially ATF. We took over a number of facilities, only to move on to the next facility and have the previous one hacked again. I guess thats what happens when you don't have a whole lot of people in the game yet...

Well, I've found out that my AA MAX comes in damn handy. I was dropping folks in via my Galaxy, then following the squad in to the equipment terminals, and then loading up with my MAX after that.
With the jumpjets, I could easily make it onto the facility's roof and hide out up there between various pieces of architechture, popping out to blow away Reavers and Mosquitoes with my homing cannon. Very nice, and it was fun watching those Reavers run for a change. Say, can all empires' MAXes run, or just ours?

All can run. Only Vanu can fly.

Lol...
If that is the only fuckup you couldn't stand Rav and Bug then I'm doing well. (Yes, the lack of punctuation was purposeful.) |

ya AB, i have been doing that for awhile. It really comes in handy for all MAXs. I just hop up there, pick at a few infantry, piss em off.... they can't get me unless they send reavers at ya... and if you are an AA MAX

Nah. I'm not half as much grammer nazi as spelling nazi. But I try really hard to ignore that stuff since I make plenty of mistakes as well.

I have been against the idea of us being Vanu from the very begginning. I hate energy weapons and I've had a serious hard on for the TR MAX.
That said, I played about 9 hours last night with both Vanu and TR. What I saw from Vanu was impressive. Note that I was playing only as a Heavy MAX on both empires. IMO from one day's play, I'd take the Vanu MAX over the Terran MAX. Of course, I've got a lot to learn, but I didn't appreciate how effective the Vanu MAX is until fought against one while playing Terran. They are much stronger than some of you think. The Terran special ability to lock down on the ground looks fucking cool, but it can be infuriatingly annoying. Try locking down against a MAX than can out manuever you in a second...it can be a bitch. Now, Terran MAXes have their place (indoors) and believe me, I don't like running into them, but they suck ass outdoors in comparison to Vanu. Someone mentioned that they can get to bases faster. Damn, is that ever true. The whole map changes when you go a different race...suddenly you can't just get into a base...you gotta run circles around the damn thing to get to an entrance (*tick tock*) and it can take a while to get to the top levels to give support. With Vanu it all becomes much more simple. I don't think a Vanu MAX would win in a toe to toe battle with a locked down Terran MAX, but you don't have to fight toe to toe. Believe me, I wanted the strongest thing out there, but sometimes strength is not determined by hitpoints and firepower alone. BTW: I walked into a base yesterday with an anti-infantry MAX. I must have shredded at least 18 guys close to a spawn area...total mayhem last thing, something to remember when you play against Terran: those chainguns are badass, but we might be giving them more credit than they are due. They are constant right? that means, not only are we getting hit a lot, we feel like it. Don't let the rate of fire intimidate you. Sure, dodge around, but don't stop fighting...just because a Terran MAXes health isn't going down doesn't mean his shields ain't getting shot to shit. I faced off with a few Vanu lights who put up one hell of a fight against me yesterday. Yeah, I killed them in the end, but they tore my shields to shit

I honestly have a 3-1 kill rate against TR AI MAXs.... i fought a ton of em today and I just owned em with my AP Mode on the Quaser...
Besides that, we can charge a base and be over the wall before the enemy even knows what is going on. |

I've been using hand-held plasma grenades quite a lot recently, and I really like them. I've killed rather many with them as of late. The aggravated burning damage is really nice. Works fine against MAXes and any other fairly slow moving people. I am also going for the Lasher when I reach my next BR. That is one hell of a weapon!
