Topic: Ships Going Down

Hey guys I was wondering if you were thinking of include a titan type mode in futher releases?
on the original BF you could spawn on ships in the sea and the thing was that these could be sunk and you would be stuck on the ship as it sunk around you. Could it be possible that when the ship was bout to explode you could get in a escape pod. I know your thinking whats the point in that if the maps over but if you include multiple ships it would make getting to an escape pod handy.

Be great rushing about trying to get to a pod in time. You could allow 20 seconds or so to get in one.

Also in the space battles will you be able to land on enemy ships or is it purly a space fight???


sorry if this has already been said ive been reading through the forums for about an hour now and havn't seen it.

GC had that, and I assume this mod will have it as well.

Re: Ships Going Down

In GC they kinda just floated there and you couldn't really tell if they were destroyed or not, it would be cool if they were on fire or had explosions and stuff.

Re: Ships Going Down

They exploded in the very last release. Or at least there'd be explosions going off around the outer hull of the ship, telling you they were going down.

I loved cap ships. Fighting off boarding parties, repairing while under fire, trying to gain the upper hand with cunning maneuvers, hearing the alarm go off when hit points started to run low and dashing for the escape pods when it stopped (when hit points were low and the alarm stopped, it meant the ship was about to blow), trying to land escape pods in Nebulon B Frigate hangar bays... those were the days.

Re: Ships Going Down

I'd love boarding, but I'm actually a bit tired of the slightly silly boarding-by-fighter-or-escape pod system of GC. I'm hoping the devs will give us Stormtrooper Transports and the like for FS, if boarding is to be implemented.
