Mmmmm...sweet...

No parachutes is good, it'll add more teamwork to the game and give us more of those moments as described above.

On the other hand, one n00b running off with the transport is a much larger blow.

Man, thats why I want the Escort Shuttle in-game, that thing has a turbo laser turret on the back, and regular cannons on the front.  Can you picture that bad boy hosing down an LZ smile

By the way, I think I posted this earlier, but I would really like to see the FS ships fly like a BF:2 helicopter's normal flight (regular BF:2 control: throttle forward) when the throttle is back, and fly like a jet when the throttle is forward.

Re: Small hangars

Well is the codding good enough for things not to slide around all over if they had to land with their noses up? (question being reffered to devs or knowledgable person)

Re: Small hangars

the nose up bit is just for the rapid slowdown, and the collision on the landing gear would force the nose back down unless the repulsor life being provided is greater than g. as well, it depends on the craft. I was thinking of the troop shuttle.. which is why I'm reinserting tab-foot into slot-mouth.
