EASyEightyEight Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook I think it looks fairly intimidating. Far more terrifying than PS1's anyway, which looks like a miniature carrier on treads with a stick for a cannon in my eyes.



As for the treads sinking into the ground: don't know if that's intentional, but I'd prefer the treads/wheel of my craft sinking slightly into the ground as opposed to floating a little ways off of it. The former I can wave off as the craft being heavy and in some cases (sand, snow) even gives it a more convincing impression of weight.

Corax Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook loving the new vanguards look! Count me down for wanting to drive one of those mean machines. It just looks solid, and I like that the cannon looks a lot tougher then PS1 did.



Edit: Also for some reason the more I look at the vanguard the more I get the feeling of an Autobot..... Which personally is a great thing..... I mean, its the effin transformers after all.

Sirisian Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook I wish they'd include rockets being fired at it or around it. Would make the image look cooler.



The base of the tank looks fine. Gray turret looks a bit odd and blocky. Not really an artist so I'm not sure how to change it to make it looks cooler other than change the colors.

Xyntech Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook I think it looks good the way it is. The thing about it's looks is that it's a little plane, but considering the squarish designs of NC tech, that's not too surprising.



Moreover, this is probably a pretty basic design, aside from maybe the sensor thing. Pimped out and with a secondary gunner position, this thing will probably be pretty distinctive.



Remember that first picture we got of the Magrider way back when? It looked a little more plane without all of it's bells and whistles too. Not as plane as the Vanguard, but let's be reasonable, it's the Vanu Sovereignty. Our stuff is supposed to look good.



Either way, the thing looks rugged and like it could give and take a beating. I think that will be enough to attract a portion of the audience to it.

Xyntech Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook I find it somewhat disturbing that we have now seen a drum magazine on a Gauss Rifle before we have seen one on a Cycler.



Hopefully the TR get a drum which is that much larger in comparison.

TR weapons should all be belt fed in my opinion. It will look cooler and allow for way more ammo. We all know those Elmos can't shoot.

Traak Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook Turret seriously sucks on the Vanguard. I think the PS1 turret looked a bit better.

Coreldan Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook Getting that amount of people in internal testing might be hard, probably why we don't have such screenies. The trailer we got long ago was already surprisingly massive for just internal footage

Crator Re: New Conglomerate Screenshot on Facebook They are using bots for internal testing. I'd imagine they are using bots to do load testing too...
